[3Deans]

[Dalyn]

Okay.

 

[Hulavol]

We gonna need to score a bunch of runs me thinks ....

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Lol at that lineup. Swanson leading off is even more lol.

yes our lineup is sad. generally what happens when you don't have 2 of it's 3 best players.

 

[Enscheff]

Marlin lineup is stacked with RHH. Seems like the plan should be Erlin through the #4 hitter, then a RHP for a few innings.

Perfect time for Tomlin

 

[Slippyjms]

I thought Freeman couldn’t bat anywhere but 3rd.

 

[Slippyjms]

Maybe when everyone gets healthy we can have a lineup like this

Acuna
Freeman
Albies
Ozuna
d’Arnaud
Markakis/Duvall
Swanson
Camargo
Pache/Flowers

This would be pretty strong

Or they just aren’t that good to begin with? Nobody is hitting all that well anyway. With Acuna and Albies or not.

Is it too much to ask for erlin to be our dodger like trash heap find?

not possible

 

[UNCBlue012]

This team is so boring without Acuña and Albies,

The Braves were leading the league in runs scored with a healthy lineup.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

incorrect

Is anyone hitting over .300 who gets regular playing time besides Flowers/D’RNaud?

 

[UNCBlue012]

yup, and that was with Albies struggling and Acuña’s slow start. People tend to let numbers dictate a player’s impact and that’s not how it works

 

[NinersSBChamps]

The Braves were leading the league in runs scored with a healthy lineup.

I did see they are still top 5 in runs scored in baseball. Just looking at basic numbers you wouldn’t think that is the case. Just surprising to see such low averages for a generally good lineup.

Well a .300 avg is not the mark I would use to see if a hitter is good or not.
