4/13: Marlins at Braves

[UNCBlue012]

My God, Snit made the change - Freddie is in the two-hole tonight: Acuna RF - Freddie 1B - Ozuna LF - d'Arnaud C - Albies 2B - Swanson SS - Adrianza 3B - Pache CF.

Frustrating start to the year to be 4-6 when it feels like we should be at least 6-4. Good news - its early. Hopefully this lineup switch can be one of those mental sparks and we never look back...

Offense goes off for 9 tonight...

On the bright side, obviously ultimately focused on winning but Acuna is one of those rare players that putting all team loyalty aside, truly just makes the game fun to watch. Genuinely just look forward to watching him play every day

Me thinks the FO or stat nerd or a kid on the street got to him and told him how dumb his line up construction was.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Snit has always had a tendency to make lineup or bullpen changes way too late but he definitely flipped the switch here. It's really good to see.

Wait. We have 2 GDT. Is this bad juju this early?

Lol

Gonna be one of those classic 40 HR 52 Rbi seasons. One for the ages.

 

[Enscheff]

Snit is getting closer to the optimal lineup. Once he flips TDA and Ozuna he will be pretty much there (assuming Acuna is cemented in the leadoff spot).

It will be hilarious if the offense takes off for a week and this lineup change is credited for it despite the reality that it will have virtually zero real short term impact.

Is Arcia in a hazmat suit somewhere or are they just going to stick him in Gwinnett?

Wonder why the change was made in the first place to start the year.

Beginning of the end for Riley or just a day off?

Everyone is routing for him but I swear he just looks overmatched to me. More so than Pache.

Disagree that he looks more overmatched than Pache. But, I’ve never been a believer in Riley.

It wasn’t really talked about but he was pulled after taking a pitch to the knee last night. Could be hurting.

I'd imagine we'll see several different guys with a day off over the next week if they don't snap out of this funk - Pache isn't the only guy that can use a little time to clear his head.

 

[Enscheff]

I'm looking for Fried to show he has things figured out again after a couple uneven starts to begin the season, specifically control over the breaking stuff.

 

[Enscheff]

Back foot slider to Marte is a good sign.

 

[msstate7]

Man, this is just start 3, but it feels like a big one for Max.

Ozzie throwing like he hitting
