At bat has Dakota Hudson starting for cards. Has this been announced?

That’s being generous to Schildt. (And honestly, I’m being generous to say Snit has only been awful. He’s had a miserable series). Leaving the starter in too long cost him twice this series (Duvall homerun; loading the bases for Freeman). IBB the winning run in the 9th is suboptimal.
Definitely not a matchup of geniuses that’s for sure.

Walking McCann to get to Dansby was clearly a mistake by Shildt. Both have nearly identical slash lines vs. RHP this season (SSS, but I don't feel like using carrer stats for players at opposite ends of their careers), and it put the winning run on base. What's more, McCann has been miserable for months, and his bat is now almost as slow as his feet.
Still, it's hard to appreciate how bad Snit's moves were to get us to a situation where we had the season riding on Hech and his .622 career OPS against RHP. Unfortunately, the move will not be questioned amidst all the glee, and the narrative will be how Snit "...pulled all the right strings". Let's see how long his players can keep bailing him out.
So who gets the ball today?
Has to be DK. If any Braves pitcher is likely to be good on short rest, it’s DK after throwing 74 pitches.
I expect to see him given a short leash and will not face Goldy a 2nd time of the leverage is anything higher than “very low”.
Snit has actually done a pretty good job managing the pitchers this series, so I’m comfortable letting him handle DK on short rest.
DK 3 innings
Julion 3 innings
Bullpen
Although I'd be open to letting DK go longer if he is pitching well. I would not use Fried today. Would be his fourth game in five days. He's just not conditioned for that. And his struggles yesterday indicated as much.
