At least Acuna had some nice plays... hardest hit ball of the Braves' season and that extra base hit stealing catch.

Braves on top after one, Nick Markakis hit a solo homer off what's his name. Hope Folty keeps it going like so far. And was it me or did they not even show Acuna hit, they just showed a fly ball the catcher caught right after Nick's homer.... guess that was him.

THe Braves scored 2 more in the 3rd, Ender and Ozzie drove in runs. Folty beat out a sac bunt and got a hit. Freddie hit one over the wall that herrera snagged unfortunately. I hope they don't keep walking Acuna to get to Swanson like that. Maybe he should hit before or after Freeman.

After 4, Folty has allowed one hit. Hope he gets taken out when he needs it but nobody comes in and blows the lead. It's not that cold even though they're up north I guess.

You said it, 4 to 1 Braves won! Hope they win tomorrow so they get the series and they won't be as far down in the standings from them. Not sure if they gain on the Mets, don't watch them. But Vizcaino did his version of 3 up 3 down (only one guy on base instead of loading them) and got the save. Folty got the W he was awesome. 6 innings with one earned run and 6 K's. Winkler/Minter/Carle pitched 2 innings between them with no runs. I couldn't watch at home on good ol' fox sports south, had to watch phillies announcers for once, and they sucked imo. They said no way would they lose to the Braves' walk crazy bullpen and "that is all you need to know" they said. Said Freddie would only be the 3rd best Phillie, and didn't show Acuna's at bat, oops I said that above already. I sure hope they can win tomorrow on the McCarthy vs Velasquez afternoon show.

In Sunday's final game of the series against Philadelphia, Snitker changed up the lineup:

Ozzie Albies leading off,
Ronald Acuna Jr batting 2nd,
Freddie Freeman batting 3rd,
Nick Markakis batting 4th,
Kurt Suzuki batting 5th,
Johan Camargo batting 6th,
Dansby Swanson batting 7th,
Brandon McCarthy batting 8th,
Ender Inciarte batting 9th.

I like the Acuna/Albies move.The Phillies have been giving both a steady diet of off speed pitches and
been pitching around Acuna like he was freaking Barry Bonds.

No idea about the Inciarte move at 9th.Maybe he's thinking he'll be a defecto lead off after the 1st at bat of the lineup clears.I believe Larusso used the tactic a little.

I love watching Ender play but as long as Albies can sustain some sort of consistency this isn’t a huge deal. Hell maybe he just wants somebody to turn the lineup over.

You essentially have:
Ender
Ozzie
Acuna
Freeman after the first inning for the rest of the game.

So why not start off the game with the lineup?

I have been banned, so I haven't contributed to this thread yet. But I am digging the start so far.

Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie! Nice HR, we're in good hands at leadoff while Ender is getting back to himself.
