Why are the Atlanta Braves’ two catchers in what is effectively a platoon? Why does Marcell Ozuna basically get to start every day with no cheap extension announced? Why is Ozzie Albies hitting cleanup? Why did Sean Murphy hit below Nacho Alvarez Jr., only to now hit above him? All this and more… won’t be answered tonight, or ever.
Albies has hit cleanup once this season — an 11-6 win over the Mets a couple of weeks ago. Sean Murphy hit fifth in that game, which… yeah I don’t really know how to talk about lineups in a sensible way anymore.
