Add to that the fact that we made the Phillies' pen look like massive studs over the weekend, and you've got something to be concerned about.

I said this at the time that if the Phillies have solved their pen, they will be a handful

Haven't we also faced 3 of the top starting pitchers in K rate in the league in our first 4 games?

The SPs aren't the only guys that made our hitters look like they might need to go back to Gwinnett for a while, sorry.

It's not JUST Riley and Pache - everybody looks lost.

Cy Scherzer gave up 4 of the 5 runs - AND other than for one out we used nothing other than our best RPs and we still lost. Call me a dinosaur if you wish, but you simply have to put the ball in play every once in awhile. I'm willing to bet they've never won another game where he gave up 4 HRs.

They haven't decided on the playoff format yet? Am I reading this correctly?

Look for Manfred to try to give us the bush league 16 team playoff again like he did last year. We already have to deal with his bogus extra inning rule and 7 inning doubleheaders.
 
Braves haven’t lost more than four games in a row since 2017. If they lose the first game tomorrow, it’s time to worry.

I thought we'd win Sunday for sure, so I'm not that smart, I guess. I do think fried vs fedde in a short game is a pretty big advantage for the braves, so I'm calling the win tomorrow behind a dominant performance by Max

Our Ace is on the mound against a 5 and our bats look like they’re starting to get it together. Washington’s roster is depleted as well. Of course anything can happen but it’s a game lined up for us to win.
 
We’re 0-3 already in 1-run games this year. That worries me that all of our luck the last few years in that category has finally turned.
 
There is very little correlation between K rate and team offense. No matter what boomers think about Ks, MLB FOs have long since learned that they are no worse than any other out.

The Braves are simply going through a stretch of bad outcomes. Their .175 BABIP that ranks 2nd worst in MLB shows this. Their -.120 xwOBA delta that is easily worst in MLB shows this.

The Braves have gone through a stretch of games where they’ve been completely hosed in ball in play luck. It is completely unsustainable...in a good way.
 
Melancon with 3 stops and only one base runner through 3 appearences.

Will Smith, in year 2 of 3 year / $40 mil contract = $13.33 / season
Melancon, in year one of potential 2 year deal... $2 mil.....

By a show of hands, who would you rather give the ball to in the 9th?

I think it bodes well for the rest of the year. We're already in the hole in this category, so it should correct itself throughout the year.
