GDT 4/8/25: Braves vs Phillies - Confusing Lineup for Sale

It looks like Snit just threw darts to see what names they hit to make the lineup. Kelenic ahead of anybody in the lineup besides Arcia should be a crime. Cruz, Kelenic, Arica all in the same lineup is sad.
 
Please tell me Murphy is batting 8th just so we don’t have three straight automatic outs. I could at least understand that logic. I mean, it wouldn’t be correct, but I could understand it.

That’s actually probably what he was thinking. It isn’t correct as you said, but it at least kinda’ makes sense - or maybe he’s thinking total pitchers duel and that late in game there’s a chance he will be pinch hitting Drake for Kelenic and the regular SS for Arcia and wants to have Murphy hitting there ….
 
Sale threw WAY too many pitches that inning….I liked this a lot more when our bullpen was good enough that I didn’t really care if our starter had a high pitch count…. Dammit….
