Contreras 2nd and burly 5th? When oli commits to dumb he really commits

Someone needs to force the lineup like this down his throat, should be ...

Noot LF
Pages C
Saggese SS
Donovan 2B
Arenado 3B
Pozo DH
Scott CF
Walker RF
Burleson 1B

Why is a fat slow catcher with a sub 300 obp batting second?

Cuz his BA is still better than Alec and Wilson's, and Herrera hasn't returned yet.

[82birds]

Noot SO
they showed slomo replay of the pitch.
man, did that ever break straight down

2nd in the lineup is usually reserved for an excellent OBP guy...that includes hitting.

The Cards have messed that one up this season....they seem to "need" to have a RHB after Nootbaar....I dont' get it.

But back to the Pages batting 2nd point....no...NO

[craviduce]

at least we weren't No-Hit tonight

baby steps with victories...that might be ours tonight? Not being No-Hit

But back to the Pages batting 2nd point....no...NO

Then have Saggy and then Donny next and bump Pages to 5th after Nolan A

But Wilson has to get bumped out and Burleson, if he is to bat should be at the bottom

[craviduce]

what am I missing with the Braves? The top 5 or 6 in the Braves order should have them better than a 8-13 record.

[CardinalInNC]

Hey, wtf

That was the exact same spot you called Nolan A out on a K on

ATL home cooking big time there

[CardinalInNC]

Well, at least Marcel O is still a flailer

[82birds]

different strike zone tonight with this ump.
yesterday 3 inches outside, 3 inches inside, 3 inches up or down....all were strikes

[craviduce]

2 walks, Fedde

[82birds]

2 out
2 on, both BB
someone make a play

yay, Contreras did !

[craviduce]

no one on base for Burleson....he should get hit here.

[cardstatman]

Veterans could muster only a single in the 1st.

What can the kids do in the 2nd?

[craviduce]

no one on base for Burleson....he should get hit here.

I tried being positive for the Bumbling Bumbles...but he looks at a splitter to K

[Cusecards]

Hindsight is 20/20 but with the Cards offense being so stagnant you’ve got to be more aggressive!
With 2 outs Donovan needs to be running.
I know that Arenado is your cleanup hitter but he’s not Shohei Ohtani.
Come on Oli!

Burly showed excellent patience working that strikeout.
