The middle part of the Atlanta Braves lineup has struggled through four games of the National League Divisional Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Veteran first baseman Freddie Freeman is 2-16 in the series going 0-5 on Monday with three strikeouts. Would making a lineup change be effective at this point? 

"Freddie's going to bat third tomorrow night no matter what so you can sort of get that thought out of your mind," Andy Bunker said. "You can't expect Brian Snitker, at this point in the playoffs, to drastically alter his lineup because I think that would be a mistake."

"What are you going to do, move Dansby to leadoff and move Ronald to third? Then you're changing everything. You're panicking."
