Fredi be trollin'.

Today's Lineups

ATLANTA BRAVES HOUSTON ASTROS
B.J. Upton - CF Dexter Fowler - CF
Tommy La Stella - 2B Jose Altuve - 2B
Freddie Freeman - 1B George Springer - RF
Evan Gattis - DH Jonathan Singleton - 1B
Jason Heyward - RF Matt Dominguez - 3B
Justin Upton - LF Jason Castro - C
Chris Johnson - 3B Chris Carter - DH
Andrelton Simmons - SS Robbie Grossman - LF
Gerald Laird - C Jonathan Villar - SS
Aaron Harang - RHP Scott Feldman - RHP

B.J. has hit .178 in the leadoff spot for the Braves. As bad as he's been, what makes anyone think that's going to change? Either Fred's trolling us, or B.J. must have some dirt on him because there's no way a sensible human being bats B.J. leadoff.
