We gotta find more PA for Drake
With the series on the line, here’s how the lineups shape up for this afternoon’s game.
The Atlanta Braves go with the same lineup from yesterday. Drake Baldwin gets his second start. At some point, we’ll likely have to start really talking about how this catching situation is going to work out. 2025 is perfectly fine to work this way, but eventually, Sean Murphy is likely to see himself traded of Baldwin keeps this up. It’s a good problem to have, and it’s not a problem quite yet. But it’s coming.
The Red Sox do a decent amount of swapping. Kristian Campbell is replaced by David Hamilton (win), and Connor Won’t replaces Carlos Narvaez (not a win). Rafael Devers, the main villain in our story, remains in the lineup, and he is scorching hit, hitting .497 with a .677 SLG, since getting a talking to after refusing to play first base. I guess they agreed he didn’t have to play first base if he started hitting. That could’ve waited until after we left, but here we are.
