Outside of two decent hitting games, Gimenez has been trash hitting wise for over two weeks now. He should be moved down the batting order. He has been a Black Hole, along with their pathetic third basemen Ernie Clement/Wagner.

A Double Golden Sombrero for the Braves' 1 and 2 hitters. Ouch.

Nice series win. Got the Braves at the perfect time when they're dealing with injuries and underperformance.

Very slowly, but top of the lineup is starting to come around

Just need a proper 3B now, either Wagner, Orelvis or Barger need to show something, or look at external options.

With a decent 3B, this team could be a real threat. Especially in this very depleted East

It's also time to move Gimenez down the order. He shouldn't be hitting higher than 6th. I'd rather have someone like Roden hitting higher up.

Third Base is definitely a Black Hole on this team. Guys like Wagner and Clement cannot be counted on to be your Regular Third Basemen, and both have been terrible offensively overall this year. This team needs to look externally, but being one of the worst farm systems in all of MLB- they really have no trade assets that another team would covet to trade their decent 3rd Baseman to the Jays.

Straw should be hitting higher in this lineup and not 9th like he currently is. Gimenez has been awful hitting wise the past two weeks or so. He should be definitely hitting in the bottom of the order.

I don’t wanna be a downer since he finally did it, but even that swing didn’t seem like the typical vladdy homer swing… that being said the fact that he got to a low pitch and hit it out the park is a good sign.

I would think they’re waiting for Varsho to make the change, who still gives you the speed on the bases ahead of Kirk.

As bad as Giminez has been at the plate lately, his speed is a huge plus and he’s still taking a lot of walks.
