Those are the only years Cox managed a losing record in September once he returned.
let's ignore the garbage performance by the offense this seriesQuote:

In Fredi's defense, the team went 19-8 in September last year.
Hot and cold team. Both professional sports teams in Atlanta failed embarrassingly today (thanks, Failcons). They each personally made this weekend suck. Hope the Braves are hot when the play-offs start because, if so, they can look unstoppable! If they're cold and flat like this weekend vs. the Philthies, they're nauseatingly BAD!
Yep. And he STILL has a losing record in September. Crazy.Quote:

Yep. And most managers wouldn't get a chance after that historic collapse.Quote:

The Braves, on the other hand are a different story, their offense right now just really, really sucks and it's the reason they're losing. I know the lead is still 12 games, but I still can't get 2011 out of my head.Quote:

This team's performance (like a lot of other teams) really turns on having a leadoff guy who is getting on base and making things happen. They looked best with Heyward there. And Schafer at times has done a good job setting the table. Without one of those two hitting well, we look pretty ordinary offensively.
As for the pen, I think we'll be ok. Assuming Walden comes back in a week or so and works into his usual form during the last ten games of the season. Without Walden we have an extra inning we have to mix and match and that is going to tax this pen.
I'd like to see Schaefer lead off and anyone else play 2B
and hit a bullet line drive to CF.Quote:
