This team is bad again? Just seems like a middling team and a middling year. 6-2 followed by 2-6. beat Yankees and lose to white sox. They better get things together because I don't think 10 games over .500 is gonna make the playoffs. I don't see a magic run in this team where they can go 25-10.

The Apple telecast was rough but part of it is the showcase aspect. They are doing one game a week and assuming those watching are too, seeing these teams one or twice a year. So we have to be caught up on everything thats happened to them in the last 50 years. Its annoying to most baseball fans...

Interesting to see Benintendi on that list at .305 when ESPN just wrote an article about him being on pace for the worst b-WAR in history. He must be terrible in the OF AND have the worst luck imaginable.

It's tough because 13 of the 15 NL teams are very much in this thing, only 3 games under .500 at worst. Who knows what that will be in a month but nothing is going to happen there right now.

This is as good a place as any to post this. I like keeping track W-L for the team for every starter. It does give insight into how well the team is playing when the designated starters are going, which is what I'm getting to: The Braves are 4-12 in any game not started by Fried, Sale, Lopez...

A few years ago I wondered why all of the Braves picks were pitchers. Now I know why. Every pitcher comes with a bomb attached to their elbow.

crapshoot. One year a losing division winner is going to win the World Series and then they might finally change it.

It'll be good to have him back next year.

More than Iggy? I kinda wish Pierce was around right now.

We've gone 16-8 in our last 24 and lost 4 games to the Phillies. There was a point in there where we went 4-6 and lost 6 games. As for the tale of two offenses, we can split the season to date in half, and its striking the difference: First 19: 121-84 (6.36-4.42) 14-5 record Last 19: 64-54...

When will the Phillies play a good team? Theyve played 30 games against teams under .500, which is 8 more than the next closest NL team, and 12 more than the Braves.

I dunno sometimes it's good to challenge guys - you can see if they are up for the challenge, but if not, they get their weaknesses exposed so THEY know what they are. In the minors, sometimes that doesn't happen. Alot of these guys have never not seen success for their whole baseball lives.

Yep mostly because of the two move to first limit. Runners just have free reign now.

It begs the question as to why this series started on Monday and not Tuesday. Mariners were already home, and the Braves had to travel across the country to play the next day.

We've gone 10-2 and they've gone 11-2 in the last two weeks. They could say the same about us, but it does seem like this is going to be a fight for awhile.

It's not even worth arguing on this because the other side will say "I knew you were going to say that and you're already wrong!" Just chill and enjoy the team. This is like peak Braves. Just enjoy it dude!

From what Ive seen so far, Lopez is not going every five days, not even close. He pitched last Tuesday and they inserted two pitchers into the rotation to make sure he had six days rest. Hopefully this is all part of the ramp-up process and not a lingering issue.

Imagine the daily griping in GDT's if Olson became a 3-WAR player.

The pitching has turned around since the Mets series, holding Astros and Rangers to 18 runs. The bullpen has been lights out. There always seems to be at least two hot players in the lineup to carry the team, even when Olson and Riley are slumping. That is the beauty of having a 7-deep lineup...

In my mind, the only way to fix the playoffs is to scrap the wildcard and division rounds and have a 15-game mini-season among the 6 teams that make the playoffs. Five 3-game series playing each team, and each series is double elimination, meaning that if you win the first two games you don't...
