I have a suggestion for the Braves … move Swanson to tenth in the batting order and Dickerson to eleventh.
Braves - 2022
- Thread starter SoddyNole
- Start date
Hopefully Dansby will get hot for a couple of weeks at some point during the season.
That's what I was thinking as well. I'd rather see Ozuna at DH and platoon Rosario, Heredia and Arcia in LF and RF.
Of course he would, right? Then Kenley had his moment last night!
Acuna hit one off the top of the wall in his first rehab start last night. Says he's "better than he was before".

Let’s hope so … the Braves need some productive bats in their lineup.Acuna hit one off the top of the wall in his first rehab start last night. Says he's "better than he was before".

In yesterday's game Atlanta started four guys hitting below .200. And they sent Dickerson (.048) to pinch hit for Heredia (.188). I know its early but ... ugh!
Home run and a walk! Time to move him up in the batting order!
Oh dang. Hope it's something routine like Lasik and not something really serious.
Correcting swelling and blurred vision in his right eye...maybe that explains his cool start. Need that NLCS bat back.
I'm trying to be more patient with this team after complaining all last season only to see them win it all. But this season sure gets frustrating at times. We have a DH who can not hit (actually got one last night!), and a DH playing LF, a LF playing CF and a blind guy playing RF. There is not a single player who can currently step up and play LF in the entire Braves organization? Last night we have yet another play where Ozuna catches a line drive in mid OF and doesn't even attempt to make a play at home with the runner tagging up. We are gifting the other team runs every time that situation pops up which seems to be every 3rd or 4th game. I don't get it. The good thing is we have help coming and hopefully Eddie's surgery will be a success and this mess of a an OF can get corrected soon.
Playing Ozuna in the outfield at all makes no sense. The same goes for having Dickerson in the lineup as the DH. With Dickerson in the lineup the Braves have four batters hitting less than .200 and Dickerson not even breaking .100. And for Morton, he has the arm To be a dominating pitcher if he can get out of the first four innings without digging himself a deep hole, which, however, he repeatedly does. … What help is on the way?
Acuna is with the Braves for tonight's game with the Cubs ... will bat leadoff.
Curious statement in the AJC about Dickerson ... "In activating Acuña, the Braves lost Dickerson. This means Guillermo Heredia and Travis Demeritte are their backup outfielders. Dickerson was 4-for-33 with a home run, but probably hit some balls harder than the results showed."
What is that supposed to mean? MPH off the bat? So he hit it hard for an out ... I feel better knowing that.

Morton with another horrendous outing … walks, hit batter and 55 pitches in just two innings. Mets 4-1 over the Braves in the bottom of the second.
Finally had a chance against Tom Seaver or whoever this guy is with a runner at 3rd with one out, and the Braves squander the opportunity.
I'm ready to start letting the pitchers hit again. I'm wondering if we break .100 this season at the DH spot.
This team has to be on pace to smash the record for batting into double plays.
Not concerned just yet. Figured the first month wouldn’t be good with a shortened spring and World Series hangover.
Fried, Wright and Anderson have been solid. Strider looks like a promising #5. Morton started slow last year before finding his groove in June. Shortened spring training seems to have affected Morton.
What is troubling is Duvall and Ozuna are automatic outs and not even putting competitive at bats together. Matzek has the yips or is still hungover from the World Series.
Ozzie is slumping but at least making solid contact at times. Dansby is streaky and Acuna is still trying to find his footing after being out for 11 months.
Cant get in too big of hole or this Mets team will be hard to catch.

Matzek didn't have his stuff last night but I don't recall him pitching too bad this season. Kyle Wright has really improved so far this season and a welcomed surprise. Hopefully he has turned the corner because you have to wonder what kind of pitcher you have now when Soroka comes back after All Star break.
Command issues the last couple of pursing with Matzek. He got the yips last year during June (bases loaded walk at Pittsburgh) then came back unhittable about a month later
Putting the bat on the ball and good things can happen. Atlanta leading MLB in strikeouts per game has to stop and it appears the team is putting some effort in getting this corrected.
