K26dp Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 This was the toughest match-up of the series. We'll get 'em tomorrow. Er, today. falconsd56, tl;dr and Black Francis 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTiger7222 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 People keep telling me I'm wrong for wanting to see Soler, Freddie and Austin in the 1, 2, 3 spots in the lineup but this is a hill I'm willing to die on. Braves must get Ozzie out of the leadoff spot. Ozzie NEVER gets on base to start a game. Counting tonight Ozzie has reached 1st leading off a game only 5 times in now 25 games. Ozzie has only reached base 25 times in 132 times leading off an inning. That's why I really wanna see them just bumped up to 1, 2, 3 since they're basically already hitting 1, 2, 3 with automatic out Ozzie in front of them. Plus, you wanna get your best hitters the most PA's and right now they're the Braves 3 best hitters. I know I'm alone in this but I don't believe that bumping those 3 up 1 spot is going to cause them to just all go into a sudden black hole. There's nothing that would lead me to believe they couldn't handle hitting 1, 2, 3. Ozzie was at his best hitting 4th. Put him back there! Put Dansby back 5th. Why in the world did Snit just up and decide to put TDA in front of Dansby tonight? I don't get it. The worst part of being a baseball fan is having no control over the lineup.

Unknøwn Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Rough outing for Smyly but it's a tough draw for him. Good to see we made a run late and kept it close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the best things about Acuna coming back next year - it gets Ozzie, whose OBP and profile do not bode well for leading off - out of the leadoff spot. He doesn't get on base enough to be a leadoff hitter. AUTiger7222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to us to make sure that we don't get Bohm'ed again at the end. Let's be 7 games up over both teams leading to the final two series and I'm Gucci.
