Depth is the real key, IMO. They've got some great pieces but the depth is killer. The lack of quality starting pitching is rough, too.
Yeah they didn't have a great staff to begin with, but all of their starters have missed time due to injury (they currently have 3 on the IL). Depth was a big issue for them, but even still, it's hard to overcome that many injuries. Even with all of our pitching depth, we struggled ourselves at the start of the year when we had 3 starters open the year on the IL.

Love that the sand fleas are playing well. So much more enjoyable When we crush their hopes and dreams

Deb this key for all the teams in the league. Those that have it usually when those two don’t really make it through 162 games. The Braves Depp was severely tested this year just look at our pen from now to the beginning of the year. Look at our starters Look at all the injuries we’ve had to deal with

The Brewers were snake bitten this year with injuries. Their bullpen took a beating and they didn’t have strong starting pitching to begin with. I think Aguilar falling off hurt their offense although that was easy to see happening in the second half last year. Lorenzo Cain has been pretty bad too and when a table setter like that isn’t doing his job it hurts everyone.
Between autocorrect and lack of punctuation... what are you saying?

It was a quick voice to text while walking to a meeting. Looks like my 10 year old posted it. Won’t post and walk again.
Basically depth is important for all teams. Those that have it win. Those that don’t can’t make it 162 games successfully. Braves have it and it was tested.
gotta drinking early in the South to make it thru the day.

DOB:
#Braves’ Dansby Swanson will begin a rehab assignment Thursday at Single-A Rome, will DH first and then work his way up with increasing innings in the field for a few games, could be activated after that. Riley will follow similar schedule beginning with DH’ing Friday at Rome.
Here it is: Darren O’Day is scheduled to pitch in a Gulf Coast Rookie League game Saturday and could be added to #Braves’ expanded roster in September. Has been out all season with forearm injury after hamstring surgery in 2018.

Either that or he pulls a boob like Mike Hampton.
Last notes from rotoworld was that he was released so I'm taking it that he hasn't signed anywhere

I’d laugh if, somehow after nearly two years of being out of the game, he magically came back and was the O’Day who was with the Orioles. Because if that happened, he’d instantly be the best pitcher in the bullpen. It would make for a hell of a story.
No chance it happens though.
I watched Austin Riley post a 1.200 OPS over a 2-3 week period while striking out 30% of the time and never walking.
Nothing is impossible!
