    Braves need to go 30-33 in their final 63 games to avoid a 100 loss season.

    It looks like a top 4 pick is a lock for Atlanta.

    We will truly get a good feel after this tough stretch vs. PIT, STL, and WSH is over towards the end of August.

    I mean, the #1 pick is getting close to a lock at this point. We would have to put up something close to a .500 record from here out to realistically have a chance to move out of that spot...and that is not happening.

    Those bottom teams just traded off some of their best assets as well, so they could quickly go on a 8-loss streak. Tampa Bay's beginning to make me nervous. If Arizona passes us as the worst in baseball, then the Miller-Swanson packed deal will take on an ever-increasing lopsided stench for those poor Diamondback fans.

    I think the team who has the best chance to overtake the Braves for the worst record by end of year are the Rays. Yes, they are a much better team than the other four contenders for worst record (best run differential) BUT there schedule the rest of the way is brutal. I think they only have five remaining games versus teams with a losing record. For comparison, the other four teams have 15+ games remaining versus losing records.

    I think it's ours to lose, but Tampa could give us a real run. We have a tough September staring at us playing three contenders in our own division that may seal the deal for us.

    Yes.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Big two game set. we could push the lead to 4.5 - 5 games if we just stay true to our beginnings.

    Exactly why we should have never fired Fredi. He was not just a team player but was looking out for the organization's best interest for the future. Snitker only cares about winning to put his name in the hat for next year.
    Forever Fredi
