GDT 10/9: MAX and the USUAL LINEUP- GET TIED ON OUR MASCOT HOLIDAY!

Our offense are ghosts right now. It’s crazy. Doesn’t matter how good the pitching is gonna be if we don’t hit.
 
Unfortunately, the Braves are in a window where the only success that matters is success in October. In that situation, winning 100+ games and then flopping in October will be considered complete failure.

A great season isn’t good enough for this team at this time.
 
The lack of plate discipline against an unusually erratic Wheeler is staggering. They very easily could have three or four walks today.
 
Are we going to see a repeat of the Bobby Cox era where we have a great dynasty with only one championship to show for it?
 
The worst part is that the Braves' pitchers have been mainly fine, it's that the offense hasn't even bothered to show up. Both Ranger and Wheeler were/are erratic and Atlanta hasn't shown any sort of plate discipline.
 
Someone is going to catch a heater for a bomb and then the offense will relax and take off.

That is very literally what I just told my wife. If someone can just get a big hit, it'll be a trickle-down effect. That said, it won't matter if we can't keep it close here.
