They have enough most likely to get in the post season. Especially with it expanded to three WC's.
But unless Sale, Fried, and Reynoso pitch like Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz when they get there they are not going far. This team is struggling to score night after night.
Baseball is a funny game, eh? You hit 50+ home runs one year and struggle to get to 35-40 the next. You pitch a gem one day and 5 days later your blasted out of the game early.
Including today, do we have any major league players anywhere? Duvall, no Short no. Feel bad for Winans. Bad ump calls on balls and strikes and he can't pitch around it .4-0 top of the first and the game is over.
Just checked and of the 10 players who got at bats in the first game of the DH, there was only ONE Brave with an OPS above the ML average. ONE. Aint gonna win many with that kind of production.
Amen brother! AA is going to have to take this ship to drydock after the season for an overhaul. A season, in all likelihood, without a post season apperance.
New manager please…
Are you ready for Walt Weiss?
tough to let a World Series winning manager go, especially in an injury filled season like this one.
Agree 100%, this season's slide, however, is more difficult to evaluate with all the injuries. Personally, questioning the absence of quality players to fill in for the injured guys is a concern that should be addressed by AA.
No. I’d much prefer a hardass manager from outside the Braves fraternal order of lazy baseball.
That's why I asked. It seems to be the consensus of my Braves fans friends down here in FL that this team, and hence, the organization is extremely soft. Most people (fans) don't realize the soft nature and seemingly the lack of accountability amongst this group.
Really could not agree with you more.
The injuries have been horrific ….. could only lead to "pressing" by those healthy and remaining.
Yeah we are definitely in the minority among Braves fans. But I’ve been wanting to see a new approach for about 15 years. My grandma on the other hand, she was sick of it by Game 5 of the 96 WS. Ahead of her time 😂
What a HUGE waste of an outstanding pitching performance by Chris Sale……
Seems like that has been the story more often than not…good pitching, insufficient hitting. Not much time left to turn things around.
