Here’s what people were saying about Thursday’s lineup:
@StatLineBB: “The current Braves roster has limited history against Janson Junk, hitting .326 with 2 home runs across 43 plate appearances. Can Atlanta keep that success going tonight?”
@sadbraves2025: “What is achieved by batting dom smith ahead of goat Riley”

@stevenonda_x: “If you’re going to start Dubon and 2nd and JJ at SS, seriously, what is the purpose of HSK being on this team.”
Grant McAuley: “First game off for Ozzie Albies. Mauricio Dubón at 2B for #Braves.”
@CrosbyBaseball: “As Earth’s last Sean Murphy defender, I am once again asking to make him a semi-everyday player. Murphy’s excellent game calling behind the plate and Drake at DH is better than Drake calling pitches and Dominic Smith at DH”
