Not sure how to title this thread. This isn't a panic or meltdown thread either. So save it.
After tonight the Braves are two games back. At what point do you start to worry about not winning the division. I think mid to the third week of August is when I would start worrying if the Braves are 5 games back.
Conversely I would start feeling pretty good about the Braves chances once the calendar turned to September if they had a 5 game lead. September 2012 not withstanding.
Fredi usually has a terrible September (losing record for the Braves). We need to have an awesome August. I'm worried. I think we are going to fall short, 87 or so wins; I just hope that's enough to grab a Wild Card spot.

We have an absolute killer schedule in the next four to five weeks, even if we get to .500, the Nats have it much easier.Originally Posted by Dalyn
Fangraphs has us 86-76, which sounds about right....possibly a hair low. (1-2 wins)
12% for the division, 44% for the wildcard, so we are still looking good for playoff baseball.

Stupid Question, how can one be a fan of both the Nationals and Braves. Seriously that's absurb, get the hell outta here! What's next, I'm gonna run into a Duke and Carolina super fan? How about ones that loves the Yankees and Red Sox.
This a question for me? If so, Im not sure how someone does that.

Yeah, it's the offense that's holding us back. Pitching is fine other than Minor at the moment.
