I guess somebody said that Borjous in LF was a good idea, as is Culberson at 3B. We’ll see about that.

Gotta keep the bench sharp and a Sunday day game after a nite game is a great time to do it. Especially when it's also a travel day without an off day. Was a hallmark of Bobby cox....but don't let that keep anyone from bashing the current staff.

First lh starter we face this year too. I am not a snitker fan, but no problem with the lineup. Just wish he would chill on 6th inning double switches

I don’t have a problem with the move, I’m just mad for no reason. Snitker managed a great game last night, we just got done dirty by the umpires.

Except that both of the starters those guys are "spelling" aren't expected to be starters in 2 weeks. Dumb move.

Very gutsy going 1st to 3rd on a hard hit ball in LF. Should have been the winning run.

Would have loved to have Preston bat in that 2nd inning rather than Bourjos.

Agree here. I questioned the double switch when it happened. No doubt tucker could have had a meaningful at bat late in the game.

Thoughts on Acuna’s slow start?

He’s got to get better. We need him.

I missed him at Gwinnett. Acuna and him just drew back-to-back walks. Both hitless

Well Scherzer is just killing it tonite. His pitches have move movement than a stripper trying to earn that one dollar.

Glad to see Acuna back on track.

Those of you who follow the minor league teams closely...
Is it possible Acuna is bored in AAA and leading to his current performance?

I'm hoping it's just slow start, nothing worse.

Great move by Snitker. Moved Swanson to 2 hole and Albies at leadoff. I like it.

Hope Swanson can do good at 2. Really hope Ozzie does good at leadoff. Sometimes batters are not comfortable in the top batting positions.

Albies is gonna be an absolute stud

So far so good. Dam Albies killing it.

I would roll with this top of the lineup until Inciarte gets back in the groove

Albies 0.6 fWAR so far; on pace for 7.5 fWAR

Swanson 0.7 fWAR so far; on pace for 9.5 fWAR

Oh, and acuna is more talented than both of them

I am worried about Acuna. Hoping he's just sleepwalking.
