Braves shove both Sean Murphy, Drake Baldwin into lineup for St. Louis opener
Briefly

Both Sean Murphy and Drake Baldwin are in the lineup for the game, indicating a positive development. Nick Allen is batting higher in the order for the first time since June. The Cardinals' current lineup is their most frequently used configuration. However, the Cardinals have not utilized this same lineup in the past two weeks, highlighting their defensive versatility. Overall, the Braves' competitiveness appears diminished, indicating a lack of interest in their gameplay.
Both Sean Murphy and Drake Baldwin are in the lineup tonight, with Murphy DHing and Marcell Ozuna on the bench. Nick Allen has moved up from the nine-hole for the first time since June 5.
The Cardinals are lining up like this: This is actually their most common lineup to date, one they've used in four games before today.
Cardinals move guys around defensively a fair bit due to versatility, so this has actually been the starting nine in more games than they've lined up in this exact fashion.
The Braves aren't really playing for success or general interest anymore, so that seems even more irrelevant than usual these days.
