Social Media Reacts To Wednesday’s Braves Lineup
GettyHa-Seong Kim #7 of the Atlanta Braves hits a single in the eighth inning against the Chicago Cubs at Truist Park on May 13, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup:
@Burnerbravess: “A mateo sighting? am i dreaming?”
@wrossmonahan: “Bro….Kim again? Why? Mateo is such a better choice right now. Kim needs to be sent back down for a while. He clearly isn’t ready. Hell, I’d rather take the chance and let Dom play SS, lol.”
@BravesAndStuff: “Acuna and Olson don’t get shuffled around the lineup each night depending on which hand the pitcher throws with, it seems like Harris has earned that same right. Get that man in the top 4 every night.”
@bravesmustwin: “where is Drake? when will he be back? hope it’s before the dodgers take over the lead. Walt is trying, I do give him credit. Kim should sit the bench.”
@Colin27997480: “How can you justify Harris hitting below Riley and Ozzie”
