🔴 LIVE Atlanta Braves vs Los Angeles Dodgers | Play-By-Play & Reactions | 5/09/26 🔥⚾
The Los Angeles Dodgers are hoping to make it two straight against one of the best teams in the National League, the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers picked up a 3-1 victory against Atlanta in a game where the oddsmakers had Los Angeles as the smallest favorite that they have been all season long. Cy Young arm Chris Sale was on the bump for the Braves, though the Dodgers managed to get enough offense on the board to get the lead and put the game in the hands of their pitching staff. Emmet Sheehan had a much stronger outing than his last appearance, while the bullpen has continued to be a mainly shutdown unit. Now, the Dodgers turn the page to the second game of the series with Snell on the mound, making his season debut after battling a shoulder issue. Dodgers Lineup vs. Braves on Saturday 1. Shohei Ohtani, DH 2. Freddie Freeman, 1B 3. Will Smith, C 4. Kyle Tucker, RF 5. Andy Pages, CF 6. Max Muncy, 3B 7. Teoscar Hernandez, LF 8. Hyeseong Kim, SS 9. Alex Freeland, 2B P. Blake Snell, LHP The Dodgers deployed a specialized lineup against the Braves on Friday, with a matchup that featured minimal left-handed hitting and right-handers moved up the order. Los Angeles clearly respected Sale enough to move Freeman, Tucker, and Muncy down the order, while giving a hot hitter like Hyeseong Kim the day off to avoid the matchup. However, on Saturday, the Dodgers are deploying a more typical batting order, with Kim coming back and Freeland joining him at the bottom of the order. Tucker returns to the No. 4 spot, and Max Muncy moves up from No. 8 to No. 6. Freeman goes back to the No. 2 spot, with Smith going down to No. 3. The Braves are rolling out Spencer Strider, a right-hander who was once one of the most promising arms in baseball, though injuries and mechanics issues have cost him over the last season. Strider has only pitched 3 innings this season, with an 8.10 ERA. He made his season debut on May 3 and will face a tough test against the Dodgers. All of the left-handed hitters for the Dodgers will get their chances as Strider finds his footing. 🔥 LIKE this video if you love Dodgers baseball 🔥 COMMENT your pick — Dodgers or Cardinals? 🔥 SUBSCRIBE for more Live Reaction, MLB, and baseball content!

Yankees Gave This Game Away vs Brewers… Brutal Walk-Off Loss
The Yankees lost a tough one against the Brewers, and this game came down to mistakes. Spencer Jones made a great catch, Ryan McMahon came through with an RBI hit, but then the Yankees started giving away outs and extra chances. Judge had a rough baserunning moment, a bad defensive throw, and then the bullpen situation got messy with Tim Hill making the wrong play and loading things up. The Brewers took advantage and walked it off. Yankees fans, did the Yankees give this game away? #Yankees #Brewers #MLB
Carlos Mendoza and Clay Holmes comment on Mets tough 2-1 loss to Diamondbacks
Despite generating just three hits against Arizona starter Merrill Kelly, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza felt his team had pitches to hit but didn't take advantage of it in their 2-1 loss to the Diamondbacks. Mendoza thought starter Clay Holmes pitched in tough luck with his only mistake was allowing a two-run single in the third inning. Holmes was disappointed he did not finish the sixth inning but felt he gave the team a chance to win.

Should Will Benson get a shot at HITTING LEADOFF for the Cincinnati Reds | Analysis, Breakdown
Craig Sandlin and Greg Kuffner discuss if Will Benson could be an option to hit leadoff for the Cincinnati Reds given his patience at the plate and high on base percentage this year. ------------------------------------ Check out our partners ⤵️ Get 20% off sitewide at Homage with promo code CHATTER at checkout: homage.com/CBOX The Anthony Muñoz 78 Cigar!

Call or text 988 DAY OR NIGHT or visit mantherapy.or ----------------------------------- As the Cincinnati Reds look to optimize their lineup for the 2026 season, Will Benson presents a high-risk, high-reward option as the lead-off hitter, blending elite speed with a penchant for high-variance offensive production. His viability stems from a 2023–2024 profile that suggested top-tier talent, tempered by significant 2024 regressions and a 2025 season filled with demotions, high hard-hit rates, and, ultimately, poor luck. Previous Leadoff Experience and Performance Benson has served as a leadoff option in various capacities since joining the Reds, though he has not solidified himself as the exclusive table-setter. In 2024, he hit the first leadoff home run of his Major League career on May 16th against Tyler Glasnow, a 439-foot blast. His 2023 form was particularly promising, where he hit \(.275\) with a \(.365\) on-base percentage (OBP) across 108 games, showing the patience and discipline often required of a leadoff hitter. Reds Metrics and Career Path Benson’s tenure in Cincinnati has been streaky. After a breakout 2023, he fell to a \(.187\) batting average in 343 at-bats in 2024, while his strikeout rate remained high. However, his underlying, or expected, stats often paint a brighter picture. In early 2025, despite a low batting average, he was among the league leaders in barrel rate, average exit velocity, and hard-hit percentage (top 15%), suggesting a significant positive regression was on the horizon. As of May 9, 2026, he has struggled early, with a \(.207\) average in 31 games, but maintaining high power and on-base potential, including 13 walks. Viability for 2026 Benson's main strength as a leadoff hitter is his ability to get on base (.352 OBP in 2026) and his 94th-percentile speed, which provides run-scoring potential. His 2025 season showed a refined approach, reducing his strikeout rate to 26.5% and swinging more in the zone. However, his inconsistency and inability to consistently produce against left-handed pitchers make him a specialized option, often best used when he is in a hot streak. His 2026 outlook under Manager Terry Francona is that of a "streaky" player who can carry the offense when hot, but who must be managed carefully regarding his playing time against tough left-handed matchups. If he can match his 2025 Statcast metrics—where he ranked in the top 15% in expected slugging (\(xSLG\)) and hard-hit rate—with better fortune on balls in play (\(BABIP\)), he could finally provide the consistent speed-and-power lead-off combo the Reds have needed since his breakout 2023.
