Ronald Acuna is probably the best baseball player of all-time, and his manager
wants to bat him clean-up because Snitker is old and that's how old baseball people do things.
Another double and homer for Acuna today. From the 4 spot. Because why not limit the at-bats for your best hitter?

An analytics-based tool agrees Acuna should be batting fourth

makes me wonder what the skipper's explanation would be.

Inciarte is small and fast. So he bats lead-off. Donaldson says

Freeman has about a 0.400 OBP and an OPS around 950 the last 3 seasons

is he a better hitter than acuna?

He's not worse. His OPS with runners in scoring position the last 3 years is 1004

FWIW, batting 4th instead of 3rd costs about 0.1 plate appearance per game

At this point? Probably. I would bet that most projections system predict that

Great. So bat Acuna in the lead-off spot. Like everyone but Snitker would at

So you're complaining that Freeman is batting 3rd?

Acuna killed it at lead off last season so putting him at 4th makes absolute sense

This post makes me sad. Not as sad as the Braves off-season though.

Just for fun again...Inciarte vs. Acuna, 2018 stats batting lead-off

1.042 OPS is okay, but those 15 steals really set the table.
