Lineup has gotten enough guys on to win games.
Not getting more than 1 or 2 to cross Home is the problem.

When Jason Heyward goes 3-4 and has dookie hitting behind him (well Gattis and Dookie) instead of TLS, Freeman, and Justin, that isn't gonna create many runs.

BTW this is my yearly meme contribution to the board, better late than never.
This is why I doubt Heyward loves baseball anymore. He should be hitting homeruns since he knows the dookies hitting behind him aren't going to drive him in.
Props to Heyward. Almost at .270 now. If he makes it to .300 by the end of the season I'll be ecstatic.
Considering people were bashing him so hard when he was hitting .180 with bad luck, it's nice to see he's more appreciated now.

He still needs to start hitting for power again, like the rest of our lineup.

Our lineup is weird. I don't except power from TLS and Simmons, but everyone else has a power outage haha

Didn't follow the game today for the first time in a long time because of last night. This team is just too talented to be this bad.

Justin, Freddie, and Gattis have been fine on power. They've all performed to or exceeded their expected power. Jason has been down and down a lot, Johnson is down even by last year's standards, and Bossman before coming to Atlanta was a mid to high .100 iso guy. Now he's on pace to set his 2 lowest marks I know the Braves are all about patience and holding the course, and blah blah blah. But if we miss out on the playoffs with the expanded wild card, the whole coaching staff aside from McDowell should be canned. I'd put TP as manager, at least he seems to care.

I didn't watch a pitch, but made the mistake of turning on the radio when they failed to go ahead in the 7th. Last thing I heard was us tying it in the 9th and I just knew we'd find a way to screw it up. Only reason I'm watching Tuesday is to see if Felix can get a perfect game.

That's true, but those guys also haven't hit for much power over the last month or so.

Freeman hasn't hit for anything in the last month or so. He needs to get his head out of his ass but he's under contract for the rest of his life so maybe not.
