Based on what we've seen from the Facebook game on, it's a genuine question if this is a true talent 75-76 win team that overachieved until then. And with that reality...is this team really going to make the playoffs in 2019 either? There is a massive amount of questions for 2019.
The pitching side of this rebuild is failing.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
The Braves might as well just trade Markakis and call it a season.
THe defense is indeed the problem. I did not create this idea, but am passing it along as one I had not heard before. It does seem like Fried was being showcased in his "rehab" starts. He did not give up a run yet has not been activated (unless something happened tonight). He was DL'd because of a blister, correct?
The gig is up, Philadelphia has taken control of the division and we could be 5 1/2 games back in the division by the end of play Sunday while AA sits on his hands and does nothing as our team falls apart.

All I know is that seven of the Braves' last 10 games are against Philly. If they can find a way to hang tough, they could find the outcome in their own hands at year's end.
^Like the former Dodger national analyst said a few weeks ago when we were playing the Brewers neither the Braves or Phillies are likely to sweep the rest of the season series. At least football season is right around the corner!
Beltre isn't terrible, just old. For the Love of God just do something, AA!
Has anyone done a back of the napkin calculation on what Wheeler would likely cost based on the surplus value model? He seems like a reasonable target if we are determined to upgrade the rotation with a non rental.
Go get him!
