    I sure don't know who said the Braves offense would be good.

    You were the one that was adamant that it would not be average or middle of the pack, but BAD.

    Don't be changing your story now.

    That's a tough one. Using it to score points on the internet would be extremely tempting.

    What are you talking about? There are people that think the Braves have a good offense. Statistically speaking that has not been the case this season. They were squarely below average until their series with the Giants. What that has to do with my prediction of them being a bottom 3rd offense at the start of the season I have no idea.

    Braves are 14th in runs scored and 18th in team WRC+. We've made it to the big time.

    Not bottom third.
    Of course they could end up there pretty easily.

    You are right they aren't. We will see where they are after they go through the July schedule.

    I think everyone knows you're pulling for a collapse in July. Hope you're disappointed

    Just pointing out the Braves have had the easiest schedule in baseball to this point and it's going to get a lot tougher in July. I feel the team record is a little inflated due to that.

    I mean, yeah, but they have been without their best player for half of the season.

    Adams has basically produced at a Freeman level

    Correct. Adams has a 151 wrc+ with the braves.

    Sounds like the Braves should just trade Freeman now that Adams is just as good. Imagine what the Yankees or Astros would give up for him!!

    FF was 2.6 fWAR in 37 games.
    Adams is 1.1 fWAR in 62 games.

    Not sure that's equal

    Offensively.

    Freeman was a 202 wRC+... but that was unsustainable... he's probably a ~150 wRC+ type hitter.

    Adams has put up a 151 wRC+ since being with the Braves.

    Meaning, the Braves OFFENSE hasn't lost much since Freeman went down

    This is the best spin I have seen all day.. And that includes stalking Enscheff at his salsa lessons with his Australian partner. Nothing like using the word 'probably' when making a comparative statement.
