Looks like Snit is giving Ozuna and Arcia a great opportunity to audition. Makes sense Contreras is getting a little extra run at C with the callups pitching.

Even with his hot streak I’m not convinced Ozuna can play his way onto the playoff roster though.

I do.. Ozuna has the potential to absolutely change an entire series. I don't think there is another guy who the Braves have who could do that like he could.

Ozuna should absolutely be on the roster. Starting him, probably not but he needs to be on the roster without question.

I disagree. With the roster constructed as is Ozuna won’t start in the playoffs won’t likely pinch hit for anyone and can’t play defense. I think we are better served carrying a 3rd catcher so Contreras and TDA can DH freely. I think Ozuna is better held in reserve on the taxi squad in case of an injury.

Well then that becomes the question. If you’re not starting why are you on the roster? Heredia will be there to back up CF. Arcia’s the IF. Rosario is the LH bat that can platoon with Grossman. You only have one more roster spot and if someone gets injured and has to be taken off the roster they’re gone the rest of that series and the next which is especially risky with how we deploy our catchers

Heredia is 100 percent a waste of a roster spot. If Harris goes down, we're toast anyways. You know that pic/gif, what does he even do? Thats my thoughts on Heredia lol.

Heredia’s primary job on the roster is to backup CF. With Acuña’s knee as it is there is nobody else on the roster besides him and Harris who can play the position. I agree I wish we had someone better and that if we lose Harris for an extended period we’re likely screwed but its possible to get knocked out of a game but be healthy enough to keep playing in the series.
 
How big of a douche must you be to have the top 3 buttons of your jersey undone during a game? Like, imagine the thought process that went into that choice.
