Anytime you get a chance to sit your 20 year old star player after an off day, you have to do it.

Supposedly Touki would have been called up to start today had Fried pitched in relief over the weekend

They added Allard as the 26th man for the double header. Doubt we see him unless we have a marathon game

Touki is forcing his way into a role. At the very least, he will be a september callup and valuable piece to our bullpen. I expect him to be in the rotation next season.

Man y’all are quick as hell to criticize Snitker. You don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors.

What do you hypothesize could be going on that forces him to hit a player with an 83 wRC+ leadoff?

Where the hell is Acuna? He’s 20 years old. He can’t play both ends of a doubleheader against a division rival? Snitker is clueless.

Well for 1 today is a DH and Mad Max is throwing tonight so if he sits at all Id want him to play the night cap. 2-starting today the braves are going to play 22 games in 20 days and 48 games in 48 days. I think Acuna getting a day off isn’t the worst thing out there like most of y’all think.

Edit-I’m putting this here if the braves drop the first game. I’m betting at least 3 of you blame it on some combination of Acuna and Snitker.

How does Acuna sitting equal Ender batting leadoff?

Who would you put there? Ozzie? Then who bats 2nd? Ender is the next logical choice.

MLB umpires are two levels above ISIS in the global shithead pyramid. If I were related to one I’d quit my job and spend my time pursuing a total blood transfusion.

Crappy ump cost Max a lot of pitches.

Great job getting out of the jam.

Fried blowing guys away with his fastball has been a pleasant surprise. He could be a very good one.

Duvall, Swanson and Ender probably shouldn’t ever be in the lineup on the same day. All have been bad hitters this year. I would have gone with Culberson batting leadoff if you’re giving Acuña half the doubleheader off.

Hopefully this lineup puts up 10+ today and I look like an idiot.

Everytime in the past when I'd bitch about the lineup, they end up doing just that lol

I also revert back to a couple posts up. If Mad Max was throwing the day game I bet this lineup isn’t who they run out there.
