This is the Braves best lineup since 2003.

[SJ24]

Ronald Acuna
Ozzie Albies
Freddie Freeman
Marcell Ozuna
Yasiel Puig
Dansby Swanson
Austin Riley
Travis d'Arnaud
Ender Inciarte

I mean that's legitimately fearsome.

I propose a nickname: The Lineup of The Gods.

[TheBravos]

I mean if all these guys just have normal years....that’s a pretty nasty.lineup.

[Slippyjms]

Ronald Acuna
Ozzie Albies
Freddie Freeman
Marcell Ozuna
Yasiel Puig
Dansby Swanson
Austin Riley
Travis d'Arnaud
Ender Inciarte

More like the lineup that is extremely top heavy and highly meh 4-9. Also no way Riley plays over Camargo.

[CyYoung31]

I’ll take 3-4 MVP candidates with a bunch of other above average contributors like we saw in 2019.

Plus, elite defense as a bonus.

Ozuna is hardly "meh."
it's certainly a pretty deep lineup. who has all-stars 1-9?

the proposed nickname is obviously terrible tho.

[Tapate50]

Proposed nickname is the worst I've ever heard. BAN?

I'm high on the Swanson train so the 1-6 is really strong with a decent 7-9, but I definitely agree that it's a good one. I think the most important thing is the depth... add in the DH and we're off.

The Dodgers do. lol

Agreed. The DH for Ozuna is huge because Puig-Ender-Acuna is a crazy good outfield.

Ozuna has been a streaky type hitter which over 162 games will work itself out but over 60 games could be disastrous.

Or he could go on one of his huge tears, and it could be amazing.

[weso1]

Easily the best lineup since 2019.

[SJ24]

So you guys think Donaldson + Markakis > Ozuna + Puig

I don't know. Seems close.

I hate Markakis but JD was really ****ing good.

It's not close at all. JD by himself was way more productive than Ozuna and Puig combined.

[SJ24]

This is ridiculous.

Donaldson and Markakis combined hit 46 bombs and swiped 6 bags.

Puig and Ozuna combined hit 53 bombs and swiped 31 bags.

Ozuna also had a really low BABIP.

There is more to offensive production than homers and steals my dude.

What other metrics would you like?

Donaldson and Markakis hit a combined .269.

Ozuna and Puig hit a combined .255 as Ozuna had by far the lowest BABIP of his career.

[SJ24]

*facepalm*

Yes I know you prefer singles to homers.

Go little Nick go!

[Skeeter31]

2019 WAR:
Donaldson 6.0 and Markakis 1.0
Puig 0.7 and Ozuna 1.9

So yes, Donaldson was better than both of them put together. He was better than all 3 put together.
