Its time! Time to show the rest of MLB what a real team looks like. Destroy the Philthies!

In typical Acuna fashion, was sitting on the "get me over" first pitch of the season fastball and just missed it. It's taken Nola 5 pitches to get the first two outs.

He definitely has! There was a lot of cheese powering that swing.

Freddie needs to do something Freddie like to lead off this inning. I'd also like to see our scoring capped off with a Ronnie slam.

benore14 · 04-03-2021, 08:55 AM

I know it has only been one game, and this is not an overreaction to it whatsoever, just a thought experiment.

Would a line up of Acuna, Freddie, Ozuna, TD and then Ozzie produce better outcomes than Ozzie batting second behind Acuna?

Traditionally, I love Freddie batting 3rd and had some doubts when he was switched to 2nd in the order last year. But I think we are beyond the point of traditional thinking with Acuna firmly locked into leadoff. I think he and Ozzie switched for 1 and 2 would be the most obvious fix, but definitely isn't going to happen.

I just think that Freddie's plate discipline and patience would help Ronnie on the paths and score more. Freddie takes so many walks, that would put Acuna in scoring position a lot more often than Ozzie would swinging at the first pitch nearly every at bat.

Putting Acuna, Freddie and Ozuna back to back to back would also be very intimidating for pitchers and would enhance the alternating Left-Right batters all the way down the line up for match ups.

What do you guys think?

Rabs · 04-03-2021, 01:58 PM

Ozzie won’t last long in the 2 spot if he doesn’t produce.

I still wish he’d hit RH full time.

Looking at the box score...wow. Where are the bats?

Too small a sample size to be worried, but we gotta get Ozzie and Freddy going.

JrFinest · 04-03-2021, 05:52 PM

Dont the Phillies always dominate us every opening week? I mean this has become a regular thing and then they fall apart. 160 to go.

Anderdale · 04-03-2021, 06:46 PM

Why did we lose the all star game in Atlanta?

Please don’t ruin this thread. This was a bait post if I have ever seen one.

Bad start, but not as bad as it seems. Game 1 could have easily been ours. 2 homers that the wind kept, a rocket by Ozuna that was robbed, etc. Everything went right for the Phillies and they still just barely won. I feel good about that loss. Today was just Wheeler getting in a groove and dominating. He looked awesome. I have zero concern, but I’m ready to get that first win.

Yes. Please move on from that topic and keep this thread about the Braves and their games. Not politics.

Isn’t it the MLB who made the Braves about politics? I didn’t even have the 2 things in the same category. Hell I don’t even keep up with politics. But here I am, wondering why my Braves a baseball team has something to do with politics.

Sorry no bait here or wanting to ruin a thread. I just saw no other threads about this topic and this was the Braves thread.

premium1981 · 04-03-2021, 07:52 PM

I wonder if Snitker would consider moving Freeman back to 2nd in the lineup with Ozuna 3rd? Too soon to make changes, but I really liked Freeman batting behind Acuna.

Rabs · 04-04-2021, 01:27 PM

This team looks bad right now.

Sorry. I didn’t see how it started. Just how the season will end. With victory.
