Inciarte strikes out from the leadoff spot, which I’m sure isn’t some sort of omen about that decision.

Any lineup that makes it possible for Acuña not to come up in the first inning is a bad lineup.

I’m pretty sure they gave up on this season months ago and obviously can’t say so, no other reason not to spend at least a little of the money that supposedly came off the books to at least get a bullpen arm or two.

He looked legitimately better in spring training, maybe there's something to him actually being totally healthy for once.

Phillies lineup seems to be good. :)

amazing how if you spend a whole loving lot of money in a very focused way to make something better, say by signing the top few free agents in the league at their positions, it tends to get better

and meanwhile if you don't spend hardly any money, and what money you do spend is in a haphazard and loving stupid way like signing injured players and retreads, it doesn't get better

Its real cool that the Braves best reliever got to see one batter, good challenge Snitker. Wise decision.

it would almost be worth having a down year to get him fired and not face him potentially ruining the best years of the prospect crop, except i have no faith whatsoever that the organization as currently constituted wouldn't just pick Fredi 2.0

In a lineup spot that is incredibly likely to come up in the 9th, I guess we just have to rely on Matt Joyce to hit a homer every single PH appearance

haha, Wright makes the mistake of pitching to Harper and gives up a double, so he immediately goes back to the walk strategy with Hoskins.
