On Friday night, Braves hitters not named Freeman or Markakis: 2-for-24 with 10 strikeouts. THAT is a problem.

Well, at least we only have to beat Greinke.

I would like to nominate Ender to bat leadoff. Oh, he’ll be there and we’ll trot out the same anemic lineup. I’m guessing Greinke goes at least 7 strong today and we get our butts handed to us.

If he gets that far.

Sorry. Team’s been slumping hard for a while and I don’t see them coming out of it today. And today’s lineup is simply horrendous.
CF Inciarte 2B Albies 1B Freeman RF Markakis C Flowers LF Acuna 3B Flaherty SS Swanson P Newcomb
Not going to be pretty at STP today

So Camargo needs a day on the bench worse than Dansby......got it.
Camargo has been struggling, and I like the idea of getting playing time for Flaherty and Culberson in particular, but the golden boy should be the one sitting at least twice a week.
Snitkered again.
Good to see Ender in the leadoff spot again, that's been working out so well.
The Arizona players should all lay their gloves on the ground when he comes up to bat, they can field anything he hits without them.

Even Mark Bowman suggesting "tweak to stagnant lineup" Snitker's rote managing from bottom of pothole

David O'Brien @dobrienajc #Braves pitcher Brandon McCarthy is not with the team. He's back home in Arizona rehabbing his knee with his own physical therapist. And no, that's not typical in the middle of the season.

And no, that's not typical in the middle of the season. I think there's a mutual agreement there that Brandon's season is over, the Braves just don't have a spot for him. Which is piss poor management, without at least giving him some time in the pen, given how bad the pen has been. He had some brutal starts but gave us quite a few good ones too.

Social Media thinks he is part of a big trade coming up. I doubt that.
