    gf consistently brought up the point of cluster luck earlier in the year and many refused to acknowledge it... I had never thought much about it, but makes total sense.

    7 hits in one inning is way better than 7 hits spread out over 9 innings.

    We were getting tons of cluster luck earlier in the year and that simply was not going to continue. You have to be able to drive the ball and we simply can't.

    I wonder what the record is for most hits in a game without one being an XBH?

    And yes the cluster luck was going to come down. Law of averages and all that. At the high point Braves were like #2 in MLB with RISP. Now the team is 8th and dropping.

    Why does this team constantly get worse in the 2nd half with Fredi?

    I would say this year... it's regression to the mean... Much like the "negabraves" predicted

    But Fredi doesn't help

    It's a legitimate question. This year I think the team is coming back to its true nature. We overachieved in the 1st half.
    But I have faith that this team will play hard till the last out. We'll see.

    I dont think this team is that good (talent can cover up flaws of teams) but actually a really good question.

    The only thing about this team is cluster and a word that rhymes with luck.

    I love, LOVE, how Fredi gets all the blame no matter what the Braves put on the roster, no matter what certain players are doing. Don't worry, I won't come back to the game thread....have at it. Not my favorite manager either, but sheesh. :D

    really good question. He's not exactly Billy Martin riding guys until they crash and burn. And he's as dumb in April as he is in August.
