Seriously, if you're trotting a DH lineup out there then BJ Upton needs to be sitting on the bench and just let the fricking pitcher bat...how does that work? Is it against the rules to have the 1 position bat while labeled as the 1 position?

Fredi has out-Fredioted himself with this lineup. Has he not learned the Uptons' first names or something?

I'm pretty sure you could even put BJ in CF and have the DH hit for him if you wanted.

B.J. Upton: .272 OBP

That's good for 11th out of 22 Braves with a plate appearance, 10th if you remove Gus Schlosser who only has one PA. Seven of the players below BJ are pitchers. Every player in tonight's starting lineup has a better OBP than B.J. Upton.

Another fun fact: Only six Braves have a wRC+ higher than 100. They are (in descending order) Gus Schlosser (only 1 PA), Gattis, Freeman, Justin Upton, Heyward, La Stella.


ETA: To try to give Fredi a tiny bit of credit, the nine Braves with the highest wRC+ are in the lineup tonight, but there's no way BJ should be leading off.

Anyone in Louisiana know if this game will be available to watch tonight? I'm assuming we are still in the blackout zone for Houston even though I don't think the Houston channel is available here.

Someone refresh me on these inferior AL rules. Designated Hitters. Double Switch. Pussy pitchers not having to bat. Does that about cover it?

I hate that Houston is in the AL now.
