Worried?

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

A little less worried with AA robbing the O's of a closer type arm to upgrade the bullpen.

7-13 July record

Is this is a lull in a long season or is this season falling apart? Where's your confidence level right now?

We won the last 3 to make it 10-13 for July. Feeling better young padawan?

 

[nsacpi]

Very, very worried! Especially with our GM sitting on his hands and from what we hear is only looking for small offensive upgrades.

how about you little grasshopper

 

[nsacpi]

Nah. We good.

nerves of steel i tell ya

Much better. Upgraded team, and taken advantage SO FAR this week of an easier schedule

We were what, 11-12 games over .500 3 weeks ago? Yeah, I'm putting more weight into the first 3 months than this past month. We'll be fine. Everyone is in slump right now, even the starting pitchers. And people forget we have reinforcements on the way both in the way of prospects and probably trades.

I think we are a 500 team. So worried we won’t make the playoffs.

Phillies aren’t that good either but they keep going

middle of the roader...that'll get you nowhere fast

La Camargue is the only guy providing any sort of spark at the moment. Did anyone else see him pumping up Acuna in the dugout last night. The kid is not a veteran but he is showing some laidership. Gerald would be proud.

amazing insights that can't be found anywhere else

I’m worried that AA waited too long to capitalize on an unsustainable run of winning. The Braves obviously aren’t a 95 win team, but an 80 win team that goes on an extended good run like the Braves did can sneak into the playoffs if a few smart additions make them just good enough to hold off the competition. That didn’t happen, or at least they didn’t happen in time to avoid playing catch up.

I’m more worried that the pitching hasn’t taken a clear step forward. The Braves invested the bulk of their player acquisition assets into pitching for 3-4 years, and they still don’t have a proven foundation of a playoff caliber rotation. That is a serious problem, and getting someone like Archer isn’t going to fix it.

I'm feeling a lot better about the team and the new additions. Gausman will be a Beast for us!
