Who would you start a SS? Culb or Johan?

Culberson no question.

Culberson's best position as a utility guy is SS and Camargo has played phenomenal defense at 3B. I believe that's how the Braves are gonna play it with Dansby out

I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if Snitk has Culb at 3rd though. I'm hoping he'll be on fire nonetheless being it's his former team.

Tonight's official starting lineup/batting order (from Braves Twitter):

LF: Acuña
3B: Camargo
1B: Freddie
RF: Markakis
C: Tyler Flowers
2B: Ozzie
CF: Ender
SS: Culberson
P: Folty

I'm a fan of the lineup that Snit put out tonight. Flowers at the 5th spot isn't the most ideal spot, but we have no one else to put there when Albies has been relatively inconsistent recently. Camargo has been solid so him hitting at the 2 is a good thing in my book- I was hoping it would happen sooner rather than later.

The only thing I'll be missing tonight is Dansby's glove. I'm hoping our rotation remains solid throughout the playoffs and that the issues with walks from our relievers has been solved.

Go Bravos!

@AVXL we both had it wrong

I believe keeping the walks down is the biggest key for us. Dodgers hit a lot of homers, so we cannot afford to give them freebies.

The Brave are in good shape for this series if they can stale game 1.
No Kershaw on the mound tonight.

I'd prefer Culb 5th and Flowers 8th

I like Culberson’s athleticism 8th to get on base, get moved over by the pitcher (or pinch hitter), and be in scoring position for Acuña to drive him in on a single.

Flowers also hits lefties very well so having him 5th can sneakily jump on lefties brought in to go through Freddie and Nick.

Definitely didn't expect that

Our approach is gonna be aggressive...aggressive on first pitches, aggressive on the base paths. But that's a solid lineup

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Season exceeded my expectations but now I feel like the NL is wide open. Let's do some damage

 

[Born2BKing]

7 minutes away fellas. MLB TV coverage has started!

 

[Born2BKing]

Had a feeling Foltzy was gonna be ass tonight. And when he is off he is WAY off. May be a long night.

Made it out the 1st. That could have gotten ugly
