it's going to be a bad baseball year all around for a lot of us.
They aren’t invested in the World Series. Snitker needed to retire 2 seasons ago. This team continues to look awful at the plate. The bullpen is complete trash so far this season. Profar should be dumped immediately. Maybe it’s time to burn it all down and just rebuild!

Only winless team in baseball. Sad.
Not as much sad as unbelievable! I still have faith, but the one thing glaring is the zero's in the top 6 spots boxscore after boxscore! The starting pitching has been serviceable, but the bullpen is very concerning! I didn't put 2 and 2 together when I saw Profar had gotten better at the plate while working with Tatis Sr. whose prize pupil Tatis Jr. had just been popped for 80 games and the saddest part is that AA and Braves front office didn't see it either.

This right here. Organization is run too cheaply. Won the whole shebang in '21. Should have invested heavily in Freeman, Swanson, & Fried. Kept the band together. Had a pretty nice window to win multiple titles. Now they're gonna have to slug it out to finish 3rd in the East due to being cheap.

It's not like Swanson would be the missing link. He hit .244 in 2023, .242 last year, and is currently hitting .222 this year.

The bigger issue is the failure to address the bullpen this past offseason. Instead of strengthening it, they let big pieces walk. Now with injuries hitting, there are some serious concerns.

AA's biggest failure was dumping William Contreras. That's an elite hitter missing from the lineup.

I have Ozuna in all my play for pay fantasy baseball leagues, and he is also starting slow hitting only .188 but I'm not worried, its a contract year :)

They would sweep my Reds.
3 straight games lost 1-0 first time since 1960.

Yeah, that was a business decision that paid off, sorry dansby fans he’s not worth a 140 mil contract! Heck they’ve got ozzie for 35! As for Contreres, sometimes you hit on a trade and sometimes you miss! Don’t foreget they’re getting ready to ge a cy young and mvp candidate back, but the bullpen does concern me!
