Braves 2025

AndersonDawg

I have been a loyal Braves fan since they moved to Atlanta. Seen up and down years and a few Worlds Champs! The 2025 team will be lucky to win 60 games based on their first 5 games. Very little hustle, going through the motions, swinging for the fence, etc. Example, against San Diego, Olsen hits a long fly ball to the top of the fence in right center field. The right fielder jumps up brushes the ball falls down next to the ball, tosses the ball to the center fielder who throws the ball to the infield. Meanwhile Olsen trots all the way to second base! If he had been running full speed he makes third base easy and maybe home if Dan Diego misplays the ball. If I’m the manager, I jerk him out of the game right then because I have fore-warned the players that lack of hustle will result in embarrassment. In Snitker’s defense, he may have been napping at that time? Bottom line: Braves lost that game 1-0! Hope they can turn it around!

…and in other news,

The 31-year-old Fried has gotten off to an excellent start this season, going 4-0 with a 1.42 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 30 strikeouts in five starts and 31-2 innings.

sigh.

I like that the Braves have been getting back to their old tricks lately - late inning scoring. When they are going well, they often score some from the 7th inning on.

Wish the pen was more consistent. Also, the DC needs to sharpen their throwing in the infield.

Bravos conclude a 5-1 homestand with what is becoming a frequent late inning drive. The scored all their runs in the 7th and 8th innings. Bryce Elder finally earned some meal money with 6 innings of 1 run ball - a nice quality start. They are closing in on .500 - hope they can keep it up and that Spencer Strider can get back on the mound sooner than later. Braves' AB's are getting better - only 6 K's today and 5 on Tuesday and 6 on Moday. . Lots of positives.

They are up 2-1 in the 3rd. Holmes on the bump.

Yep! And two homers to boot!

Since “the slide” I believe they are leading in home runs hit!

Another late inning surge by the Bravos. 6 runs in the late innings. These guys are getting on a roll for sure!!

Eugenia Suarez for the Diamondbacks slugs four homeruns and we still win the game in 10. Taking the lead on a wild pitch no less. Crazy.

We've now moved out of last place in the NL East for the first time this season, a half game ahead of the Nationals. Let's keep it going Boys.

Yep! We’ve made up five of those first seven losses!

Gotta love it! By the end of the Rockies’ series, we could be above .500 for th first time those year!

Wonder what the talking heads are saying now!?

Not sure I am a “talking head” but as a lifetime Braves fan, I am glad they are winning! That said, I stand by my earlier criticisms of Snitker’s coaching style. There are times when you play “long ball” and times when you play “small ball” and a good manager knows when to employ them.

Can't figure out how in the world they have won so much with him at the helm, including a World Series. Even with an MVP out and a potential Cy Young winner out, he should be 21-7 or something like that, right? It's ok not to like his style of managing, but for crying out loud he's starting to win games with Eli White and Nick Allen as starting position players. Can't you cut him a little slack?

I have been a loyal Braves fan since they moved to Atlanta in 1966. Please don’t mistake my concern for Snitker’s managing style as a knock against the team. Go Braves!
