Who cares. They beat the teams they are supposed to and have done it easily. It is a balanced schedule so when they do play the teams the Braves have already played then the Braves will have to show they can beat these easy teams they are supposed to beat.
Will we do it?

Yes
Their schedule starts to get harder in June. But it gets absolutely brutal in July through basically the rest of the season. They will crash hard.

Wash wanted another coaching gig, but the only one willing to give him a shot is the most poorly run franchise outside of Colorado.

Is it really that hard to say, "You know, I thought it was the right call at the time. Romero made a difficult pitch, Luis tried his best, and it kind of backfired on us. It happens?"
LA is more poorly run than CO. At least CO has the excuse of being a small market team. LA has had top 10 payrolls most of the last 20 years I think. Sometimes top 5. And they continually fail to develop any prospects of note despite consistently having a high draft pick. CJ Cron is the only player they have drafted since Trout that has made an all-star team (with Colorado). Almost 15 straight years of 1st round picks that have all mostly failed. That's pretty remarkable.

This site ranks teams in a manner that is suspect, but it also tabulates the strength of past and future schedules based on those rankings.
As we already know, the Phils so far have played the easiest schedule by far. Moving forward, the Braves play the 3rd easiest schedule.

to have Trout and ShowHey for 5 years (even with Trout's injuries) and not be able to build anything resembling a team around them should result in immediate death penalty for that franchise and every team getting to 'draft' from the active roster.. maybe do the draft order by the first letter of the city you play in picks first..

Boy I hate watching Contreras highlights.

I didn't know what to really think of the deal when made, but I am still surprised that the Brewers ended up with Contreras and only had to surrender Esteury Ruiz. Just the A's tank-a-thon in motion.
I think it was very clear the minute it was made...
AA then doubled down by extending that catcher well into his 30s. Meanwhile, Contreras is a stud who is several years younger and much cheaper.
That Murphy trade/extension was not the brilliant move folks claimed it was...and it was obvious the moment it happened.
Most of us voiced a good of bewilderment on that trade. Obviously we were happy to get a great catcher in Murphy, but we were puzzled why we traded a good young catcher for a slightly older and slightly better catcher. Particularly when SP/LF were much bigger needs at the time.
But as mediocre of a trade as that was for us, it was 100x times worse for Oakland.
