WTF? Why is Riley in instead of Camargo and how is he batting ahead of Albies? Outrageous.

Better question might be why haven't they gotten that wrist looked at. As it's even clearer with him when he's not right, and he's currently not. Reason he was dropped was because of his wrist.

Are we sure he should be starting GDT.

We saw what happened with yesterday’s GDT having Sorokas name in it, for the love of god take Max’s name out!

Against a RHP, Albies is simply not a top half hitter. Preserving R/L balance means placing him at 7 is probably the right call.

Camargo vs Riley against RHP is a tough call, as neither is a good option. At least with Riley there's a chance to gather more data on any potential improvement, whereas Camargo is a known quantity. This is why the Braves almost certainly need a LHH 3B option to slot behind Ozuna vs RHP. We are going to see a likely trade target this series in Shaw (is he healthy?).

When Markakis gets up to speed expect to see him replace Ozuna in LF, and Ozuna move to DH in place of MAdams. Markakis is still (hopefully) a very good OBP option vs RHP, and should be batting at the top of the order against them.

Snit has been extremely solid in the tactical portion of the job this season. I have almost zero complaints.

Delete this and start over ASAP!

[Hulavol]

Hell no. I have the best GDT record of anyone on this board.

[salmagundy]

Same damn Umpiring crew that we suffered thru with the Mutts. Plate squeezing calls abide!

No sooner does Chip say that Dansby got pull happy last night than he a hits a slow roller to 3B.

very poor at bats that inning by Dansby and Ozuna

[NinersSBChamps]

Good K, Max. Get out of this pickle now.

Max cooking up some Fried blue jay.

[salmagundy]

Dansby's failure to advance Acuna cost the Braves a 1st inning run.

[salmagundy]

Big city does it again with a biig splash

[salmagundy]

Flowers goes deep to LCF

Markakis should be taking groundballs at 3B so he can platoon with La Camargue. Riley looks awful again, and we know Camargo only hits LHPs.

The answer is obviously at first base....

[salmagundy]

Max with 5 pitch 3rd

[NinersSBChamps]

Dansby remembering that he isn’t good.
