OD lineup?

Probably. And it looks really good until 7 and 8. I really hope Riley can be good. I still feel like we are one bat away from the line up we need in the playoffs, two if we had a full season DH. Hopefully Riley or Pache will surprise me. Or Dansby surprises me and puts in a full season of close to last year's production.
 
Camargo as the primary option for DH vs a RHP shows just how bad this bench is. I'm very surprised AA didn't do more to address it.

If neither Ender nor Pache step up, or Riley doesn't progress, the lower half of this lineup might be as bad as the top is good. And there is nothing on hand to fix it. The backup plans are all literally scrap heap additions.

The Twins’ dude, Dobnak, likewise making the Braves’ offense look bad.
 
Riley laid off a couple breaking balls away, was late on some fastballs, and hit a breaking ball the other way.

Was he late on the fastballs because he was guessing off speed?

Riley will be the most interesting Braves hitter to follow this season, in my opinion. We should know if he is for real or not.
