Snit finally gives us the dream outfield we've been clamoring for

 

[zbhargrove]

I’m glad Acuna is getting the day off... hopefully 2 days off out of 3 days will get him back on track.

 

[Enscheff]

Rather than resting Acuna while keeping his bat in the lineup in an AL park, Snit chose to rest him while removing his bat from the lineup 2 days later. His roster management is mind numbingly bad.

 

[Freshmaker]

Inexplicable and inexcusable to have Joyce as a DH - Acuna, Freddie and Donaldson all needed days and none of them got it

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Wait I didn’t think anyone was tired why is he getting a day off

He’s a dingus, for sure.

expecting a yuge game from Freeman

Snit screws up not resting anyone when you have the DH against a bad AL team and now we have to play with a **** line-up tonight.

 

[Slippyjms]

At this point I think we should go ahead and start Hamilton every day until Ender returns. Make things easier on Acuña by keeping him in RF

 

[Heyward]

Yeah not using the DH on FF, Acuna, Ozzie or JD was mind-boggling stupid. Keep their bat in the lineup but get to rest their legs.

Hope Dallas is on tonight, dont envision him getting many runs with Acuna out tonight. Which is must needed btw, he could use a day off.

Expecting a yuge game from Dansby.

ditto

 

[bravesfanMatt]

We scored like 8 runs without Acuna last night.

On paper, this is a head scratching managerial move.

However, since Acuña was "called to the principal's office" his on-field performance has been, at best, pedestrian. In that light, I'm disinclined to take Snit to task on this one.

We’re taking Snit to task for overall incompetence. Acuna Albies Freeman Donaldson Markakis and Swanson should have been rested more throughout the season. Keep them rested and the backups sharp.

 

[Braves1976]

DK should've been more careful with him, too many pitches in the middle so far. His third 0-2 pitch to Abreu was too but thankfully not a hit, then he lined out.

 

[CyYoung31]

Keuchel getting BABIP’d.

 

[thewupk]

Keuchel getting BABIP’d.

That can happen when you can't strike anyone out

 

[Braves1976]

yes and you have to make less mistakes middle middle if you cannot get the k's.
