Know how to tell your offense is in dire need of an upgrade?

You start a guy in LF without the platoon advantage who was deemed too poor offensively to play everyday at SS.

Not to mention, the guy being counted on to give the offense a spark is still hitting behind Swanson and Heredia.

Hey, guy that’s worse than bad hitters already on the team, kick start this offense and delight the Twitter crowd!!

 

[Enscheff]

The solution to the gaping hole in the OF is batting right now. He’s been the solution from opening day.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

I think I just heard the Marlins broadcast team say that the Braves have 0 extra base hits in roughly the last 24 innings?

 

[Tapate50]

I’m at the game up the 1B side and it looks like Morton is DEALING

 

[Enscheff]

I’m so happy AA signed Morton.

 

[Hulavol]

Charlie is indeed dealing !

 

[Enscheff]

Swanson and Heredia are fine when providing defense at premium positions while batting 7-9. It’s not fine when they are batting 5-6.

If AA can get a bat for the OF and TDA comes back to provide his projected numbers, this offense will be just fine.

 

[thewupk]

Well that was needed

 

[The Tariff King]

Ronald might be good.

 

[Enscheff]

I’m guessing the Marlins are a little butt hurt over that HR celebration.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Ronnie’s homers are the best in baseball. Goodness.

 

[Enscheff]

Dude walked down the line like it was a no doubter, then it went into the first row.

We were about 5’ away from another argument about Acuna’s hustle.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Need to add on, get the win and have the Marlins leave Marte behind with us.

Like just in the clubhouse? Like home alone?

 

[Enscheff]

We are about to see a situation where Morton is due up 2nd in the 5th in a 1 run game. He should be right around 80 pitches, and hopefully less than 80. The Marlins have RHHs in the top 5 slots of the order.

It’s probably the correct move to punt the PA in the 5th to allow Morton to face those RHHs a 3rd time as long as he completes the 5th in a reasonable number of pitches.

 

[msstate7]

Franklin hit another hr today. He should be in Mississippi this week

 

[bravesnumberone]

He gave up some hard hit outs against that part of the order. Doesn’t matter whether we leave him in or not; we are not winning the game if we can’t score more than two runs.
