Braves Ongoing Season Comments Thread..

Markakis and Dansby put on IL, Duvall called up and Fried activated. Could start seeing an outfield platoon with Duvall, Riley, and Acuna playing vs lefties and Ender, Acuna, and Joyce vs righties (with Camargo factoring in when Dansby returns.
Don’t forget about Charlie Clutch. Culberson should be in the platoon too
I meant to post on base percentage in the attached post. OPS is very good but getting on base/avoiding an out is essential.
Same here, I am shame. Joyce is that utility guy every good team seems to have.
At this point, I would rather see Culberson playing than any of our outfielders other than Acuna. Seems like he’s made himself so valuable coming off the bench that they would rather keep him in that role.
Be nice to see Duvall hit for us like he has been down there.
I dont see him, Ender, or Markakis in Brave uniforms next year.
Guys who hit that well off the bench are rare. Plus, hes Charlie Ball Game, he can play everywhere. Hes a super valuable commodity.
Not an impressive bottom of the order for Braves tonight :
5th - Camargo SS
6th - Duvall LF
7th - Flowers C
8th - Inciarte CF
going to need good pitching and for the top of the order to produce runs with Dansby and Markakis out.
Inciarte starting with a bang, or a blast.
Looking good so far.
Is this really happening tonight with this lineup? Whoa! 5-8 is suspect at best.
Oh, ye of little faith.
The Dodgers whipped up on Washington again tonight, so we're picking up a game on both Philly and Washington. Snitker keeps demonstrating a Bobby Cox like ability to keep the team up.
Has anybody in the history of people ever apprenticed for a job as long as Snitker did ? He was in the Braves organization for 39 years and managed 6 different Braves' minor league teams before getting his opportunity at 61 years old. It's well earned to say the least.
Good to see Duvall hit again.
At the risk of belaboring a point. Of the 6 MLB teams with the highest on base percentage, 5 lead their divisions. Show me an advanced stat as predictive as this basic measure. Get on base, don't make an out and have teammates who do the same, scoring runs at a high rate will be the bi-product.
