GDT 5/7: Diamondbacks at Braves

[UNCBlue012]

Inciarte is back, playing left and hitting second!

Markakis RF

Inciarte LF

Freeman 1B

AJC C

Brignac 3B

Aybar SS

Castro 2B

Teheran RHP

Mallex CF

It's not pretty, but his return makes the lineup look a bit better. Let's kill it!

Expecting a yuge game from Reid Brignac.

Before getting to Atlanta has Reid Brignac ever batted 5th in his life?

Its a good spot for him. Between AJ and Aybar.

 

[Garmel]

Markakis still batting first with Inciarte back?

This is the day we turn the season around!!!

Having our best defensive outfielder in left is interesting. Guess it has something to do with the injury.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Get to see Nick the Stick in person!!!

No injury issues there.

Are you saying that our two time gold glove winner isn't our best OF?

 

[The Tariff King]

I'm pretty sure Fredi put Ender in left so he wouldn't have to risk hurting the hammy. In center there's running on every outfield play. If he's in left he only has to focus on his area.

You paid for tickets???

The ticket scalpers in the parking lot are paying to give them away actually.

It better not last. Now is the time to transition Markakis to left.

Fredi reasoning...

Mallex faster than inciarte

Markakis is a gold glove RF

 

[smootness]

Inciarte is a bit of a waste in LF, but it is going to be hilarious to see his defensive metrics if he stays there.

He runs and fields like he's using that gold glove out there.

 

[Julio3000]

Glad to see Ender back, but damn...that 4-5-6 is brutal.

There was a $5 for club level seats (the ones in the right field corner) offer for the weekend and Phillies games. I snagged 4 for my crew Sunday. $5 each for decent seats and A/C just a few steps away? Yes, please!

With his defense if he stays in left and continues to be a decent hitter he might get Heyward money on his next contract.
