Synder no match for the new brave offense

What are the odds that we light up Snyderguard like a cheap stogie?

[Yeah, I know how to spell his name--did it in deference to the Mets' tradition of botching Braves' players names.]

Luckily he's quite good at the most important catching stuff, and pretty good at the hitting stuff, because the throwing stuff ... well, he's been pretty damn far from a whorl-beater.

Hashbrown topical.

Now Blair's getting lit up. His pitching competence was nice while it lasted, I guess.

 

[jpx7]

Of the Foltynewicz, Wisler, Blair trio, I figured the latter would be the most ready heading into the season, even if his ceiling was lower; after the bulk of 2016 has elapsed, it's pretty clear he's the least ready of those three.

Responding to myself, like a cool person: it was at least nice to see him rally to close that inning out without damage (self-inflicted or otherwise).

Blair looks decent tonight! Dansby and Freddie doe. An Inciarte-Swanson-Freddie top of the order would look really good...

Where you plug in Albies?

Where you plug in Albies?

#8 or #9, while he's newb, I'd say.

I'm torn between putting him at lead off. It's a good issue to have but I've always wanted Albies at two, but Swanson'a bat plays perfect there.

Joe Simpson ecstatically talking about Swanson "fighting one off":
