Some Sense For Starting Adam Duvall in Game Five

If you woke up this morning frustrated, dumbfounded, disappointed, and perhaps even still angry, I completely get it. I have experienced all of those emotions on multiple occasions over the past 20 hours. The Braves should have won yesterday, but on more than one occasion, just simply could not get the job done. Now, the series against the Cardinals returns to Atlanta in a winner-take-all Game 5 on Wednesday afternoon.

Veterans in the series:

Freeman 2-16, 1 BB
Markakis 3-17, 1 BB
McCann 2-13, 1 BB
Donaldson 2-15, 2 BB— Brad Rowland (@BTRowland) October 7, 2019

While the Braves and their fans have had many frustrating situations to experience and likely have been at a loss of words for the lack of offensive execution throughout the series, the reason for the consistent struggles is pretty easy to find.
