Inciarte is back: what to look for

If Inciarte is back, the real question becomes Joyce vs Muk. Inciarte is better than either of those two.

So I'm guessing Duvall gets your other OF spot as our lefty masher?

Reserve players:

Catcher
Culberson
Camargo
Muk/Joyce
Duvall
 
Based on what I just read, upstairs plans on Nick Markakis being in there and batting 5th even against LHP so we can shoot down any ideas of him being platooned. It also doesn't really even sound like him being in LF is permanent.

So, we already know the top 5 that will be starting in the playoffs:

Acuna
Albies
Freeman
Donaldson
Markakis

That's locked in with the key thrown away.

Wouldn't that be Duvall? I know it's a SSS, but he has crushed LHP this year.

Yup, that's one. The Braves need 2 RHH OFers to stick out there with Acuna.

Hopefully one of Riley, Camargo or Culberson emerge. Most likely Markakis will just play vs LHP because he's an "everyday player" and continue to suck against them.
 
Just a reminder, all of the Cardinals starting pitchers are righties. So that plays into our strengths. But it also makes this decision equally important.

Teams can switch out players prior to each series. Cards seem to only have 1 lefty in the pen who has dominated lefties this year. If we play them it could be a situation to load up lefties for that round.
 
Yeah. I would rather Ender be 95% healthy for LAD than 85-90% for Cards.

We can afford to not have him be fully fit for Cards. But I would like him in outfield against the Dodgers should we make it that far.

could open up a spot for Ortega as our lefty hitting bench bat against the Cards...or do we plug in a rusty Ender into that role
