GDT 8/8- Uncle Charlie … we gonna need a ten spot

I know that it seems like I'm really not that upset and I'm laid back, but guys, I'm really pissed about this on the inside
 
It is curious how everyone was hitting worse this year versus last (sans ozuna). Even Kelenic got worse and that is hard to do. Was chipper still involved with hitting last year. Outside of the ‘baseball’ theories what cause such a drastic shift in offense for the Braves. Disproportionately higher than other teams.

And no one is the stadium... this season will cost us big time on salary next year

We're 5th in attendance and averaging roughly the same amount as previous seasons, despite being in 2nd place since Mid May. In all likelihood, we will be in the WC race until the last week. I doubt ticket sales will suffer very much.

Give it time. You will come to terms with reality and find your zen. Remember you still have your double wide, your sister/wife and your job as night manager at Jacks. Things will be alright

I've destroyed my double wide... all this disappointing baseball has be take it out by shooting my gun at the floors and ceilings.
 
That last half inning is the problem with this team right now! After the Riley bomb, Olson, Arcia, and TDa all tried to hit a fckn 5 run HR...zero patience or approach.

A combination of injuries, bad luck, new baseballs, some natural regression from the all time great offense of last year.

Also, this is just my opinion, but I think a combination of bad luck and wonky baseballs caused certain players to have extended slumps. Players naturally have a tendency to press a little more when they are struggling which causes them to get into bad habits. Had the balls not been effed with, perhaps some of those outs become homers and the players aren't feeling as much pressure to make changes.

Won’t dispute that. Olson is the one that seems to be way off. Not just the power. Just swing and everything. Hoping he can get with a good swing coach and fix a few issues for next year.
 
I wish the Braves would tinker with an opener next year. I think guys like morton and even sale would benefit. Gives them a chance to settle into their game against bottom half of order.

You know man, bottling that negative emotion up inside …. That’s not good for you. You need to share how you really feel and let it out.
This is a safe space - there is no judgement here.
It’s not good to pretend like everything is ok when inwardly you are upset.
Again, it’s ok to let off some steam- try it sometime

I think his sister came home with a case of Natty lite, so he might be out of pocket for a bit.
