[thewupk]

So all of these promising starters we brought up this year have era's over 5 and most are near 6. That can't be good.

In some ways it has served a useful purpose. Which is to disabuse the front office of the notion that you can lean on that group much and still have a competitive team in 2016. I expect most of the focus this off-season to be on finding some major league pitchers, both for the rotation and the pen.

I want them to break the steak for losses in a row.

I want to cut it.

I agree. We need some MLB pitching. Which is a huge problem because we need MLB hitters as well. This team is quite a mess and expecting a quick turnaround for 2017 is looking like a long shot at this point.

Last in runs scored and 4th in most runs allowed. Worst Braves team since when?

pitching won't be hard to find. Hitting we'll have to develop.

Another one in the dust.

good game guys

 

[Julio3000]

I appreciate this team's ability to commit to delayed gratification.

All this veteran leadership (AJ, markakis, Bourn, swisher) is paying huge dividends.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Hey guys, remember that time we gave up one of our best pitchers and statistical one of the better lefties in the game for almost nothing and went on to continue losing and successfully make an already weak rotation, weaker? Love it.

 

[The Tariff King]

Olivera is gonna be huge when we goes back to play in the Cuban league.

Enormous dividends. Bigger than Harang & Laird combined.

Those who are saying the team is no longer good bc of trades... this is the team folks. This is the team the FO has constructed and is frankly the most talented team we've put out all year. And it's terrible

 

[Dalyn]

I hope our young players are paying attention and learning how to win.

 

[Julio3000]

Learning how to win < learning how to lose with grit, leadership, maturity, and toughness.

The fourth element is clutchness. I sometimes forget myself.

 

[CyYoung31]

This season is an embarrassment and unacceptable. The front office better try harder in 2016.

How could I forget? We're positively oozing with it.

Honestly it really is. It's one thing to rebuild and lose but this team is the laughing stock of MLB right now.
