    Definition of a mediocre team. One or multiple aspects is so poor most of the time, that the good performances often don’t line up with the part of the team that’s actually good. In the Braves case, the offense can’t be good ALL of the time.

    That, and the Braves have no ****ing luck.

    Back to back games our SP gives up 0 runs and we lose. This is just not a good team.

    Can't say I expected Smyly-Nola to be the only win of the series.

    I guess at some point you are what your record says you are. We seem to be nearing that point.

    We’re past it. I’ve been trying to tell y’all.

    Still think we get over .500 at some point. Just not by much.

    Woah, We agree on something Cy. This team will finish with 82-86 wins and third in the division.

    They’ll finish 2nd. But I called that before the season.

    I don't know but I would as soon be holding up the division bad than be like this. This is much harder to watch.

    They're going to win it all now, just to spite you.

    The stretch of starters the braves have faced lately is absurd... urias, kershaw, Bauer, nola, eflin, wheeler, and tonight, alcantara. Need a break from good to elite starters every day

    Why is the Smith scrub still on our roster when Lucroy has shown a pulse in AAA?

    I mean, Smith is probably better than Lucroy.

    Because it's not 2016.

    So we're getting shutout (or close to it) with a bunch of tomato cans in the lineup (Heredia, Inciarte, KSmith, meanwhile in Gwinnett yesterday Camargo, Arcia, Pache and Lucroy were a combined 13 for 17 with 4 dingers and 9 RBI.

    If we're going to go down, we might as well go down with some new people.

    The absurd part about it is we should have beaten kershaw,bauer, nola, eflin, and wheeler, yet found a way to lose in the last inning

    Our two best relievers have blown saves in consecutive games. Either our entire bullpen is worth nothing, or our two best relievers just had bad days back to back and we are overreacting to that. Only time will provide the answer.

    I’m willing to chalk up Martin’s blown save to a bad day but Smith wasn’t used correctly during the series.

    This. We used our best guys and they just had a bad night. Blowing back to back games the way we just did almost never happens.
