Sean Murphy catches, Eli White plays left field against Philly
The Braves are rolling with what we have more or less come to expect with their lineup, Eli White in left after being brought up for Forrest Wall yesterday. Sean Murphy is behind the plate today, catching Spencer Schwellenbach, as Travis d’Arnaud sits. They did manage 6 runs last night, but it wasn’t enough to break their now 28 game losing streak in games when the opponent scores 4 or more runs. The offense simply has to be better for this team to have success. That has to come from luck and better performance up and down the lineup. Having three black holes at the bottom of the lineup in Orlando Arcia and the two replacements for Ronald Acuna and Michael Harris is also just brutal for production.
