Who was that bone head that named himself like “Trump MAGA?” Think we found his re-named account. 

Yes true. I don’t hide from that. I’ve been every freaking name there is. Trump MAGA, Michael Scott, Skott Lee, Jim Rome, Enforcer Arn Anderson, too many to name.... But unlike you, I do not personally attack fellow posters by name calling. This site allows me to change my name once every 30 days so I do it. 
 

And for your pleasure and ease of use, I will post my former name next time I change so you can keep up.

Who's hitting 4th in the first lineup?

If I had my way it would be Ozzie. When Ozzie is right he's extremely dangerous and having his switch hitting bat in the 4 hole makes it tough on opposing managers. I like him better in the 4 hole than the 2 hole because I loved being guaranteed to get Freddie and Ozuna to the plate in the 1st inning in every game. Also, over the course of a full season that's anywhere from 20-40 extra plate appearances for Freddie and Ozuna.

I assumed Pache was the CF, if he isn't then they running Ender out there and that ain't going to cut it.

Now that we've got Ozuna back the lineup is set. Pretty sure the lineup we saw in the Dodgers series is what we'll start the season with except Ozuna will be in LF instead of at DH.

What's with the "if Acuna moves back to CF" comment by AA then?

Or are you thinking Camargo and Riley will be in the lineup?

I have no clue. Maybe AA is talking about if they re-sign Duvall? They could shift Acuna back to CF if Pache struggles and needs more time at Gwinnett? I don't know.

I don't think we'll see a lineup with both Camargo and Riley in it.

Nothing weird about the reality that JD just used Atlanta for leverage to go elsewhere. Ozuna is not that way

Like, I really don’t get your logic. Josh signed a 1 year deal. We gave him a 1 year contract. Going into it, everyone, him, the Braves, knowledgable fans all knew it was a 1 year deal for him to rebuild his value. Which he did.

the Braves could have resigned him. They choose not to match other teams offers. It’s as simple as that. There is no “he’s a snake because he didn’t resign for less money with us”. That’s just really a dumb way to look at it, over emotional and is a logic fallacy. I mean, Josh accomplished exactly what he set out to do signing a one year deal, the Braves for exactly and maybe even more that they wanted out of it, and both went their separate ways afterwards. Josh didn’t “use” the Braves, he gave him a **** good season, which is what he was signed to do, rebuilt his value and got a really good contract offer elsewhere. Good for him, everyone leaves, everyone is happy. And hindsight, him leaving actually was good for the Braves as we signed Ozuna to replace him. I don’t understand how anyone could reasonably have issue with Josh and after typing all this out, I really don’t get it anymore as it’s pretty simple.

I appreciate you taking the high road with me. A well thought out explanation why you think my take was bad. Unlike tl;dr who went directly to the insult card. You have class my friend. Thanks
