Haha…this post perfectly illustrates my point about the Braves mentality.

Good thing no one told this to Babe Ruth.

I’m sure there’s plenty of examples of players leaving ATL and getting in better shape too, because they had to. But just because you’re older doesn’t mean you automatically gain weight, or should get a pass for it as a MLB player.

My point is, for pro athletes, there’s no excuse for a team allowing you to change uniforms and pack on a beer belly.

You can’t tell if players are in shape? And there was the quote mentioned from A’s outfielder.

so no hard evidence beyond “vibes?”

The Braves strength and conditioning standards are the lowest in the league. I think its part of the "players culture" ATL has. Anyone can see it too, the best examples are the before and after comparisons.

Take Matt Kemp for example, an MVP caliber player, comes to ATL, gets fat and su-cks. Google Matt Kemp in a Dodger uniform. Or more recent…Marcel Ozuna…google photos of Marcel in a Marlins uniform. Or Adam Verdugo… in a Red Sox uniform. Orlando Arcia…in a Brewers uniform. So many examples those are just a few off the top of my head. Most of our pitching staff has beer bellies.

What should they do? Adopt any other team's strength and conditioning program. Call up Coach Johnson and adopt his philosophy. At least the dawgs players were jacked, even though we came up short this year.

Sadly, I agree that the Atlanta Braves are now simply falling apart. They are a complete and total hot mess.
