Slightly lower LD%, more FBs and the FBs aren't leaving the yard.

Striking out 4% more of the time won't help either. Everyone knew last years BABIP was unsustainable even with his high LD%. To combat that and still be a good hitter 1 of 2 things have to happen. Strike out less or hit more homers. Currently he's striking out at the highest rate of his career and hitting for the least amount of power. So instead of 1 or both things improving they have both gotten worse.
I was camping in Wisconsin—were the Braves finally eliminated this weekend?

The Braves were also eliminated by Florida in the Women's College World Series, which was a tough break. That Hannah Rogers is just hard to hit.
