that stings. bad run here for them. need to pick it up on this home stretch.
Braves are going to be streaky all season, then crash and burn in the playoffs. The offense just relies too much on the big fly to be a consistent team. Not to mention all the easy Ks in the lineup. And don't even get me started on Laird. He's a pretty useless #2 catcher.
Of course, one thing Fredi could do to help the offense is flip Simba & BJ in the lineup. Having an automatic out in the 2-hole just absolutely kills us. Simba is hitting well, but most importantly, he makes contact. Having a 2-hole hitter who puts the ball in play would be a huge step in the right direction offensively. But for some reason, Fredi won't give up on the disaster that is BJ Upton and BJ Upton hitting near the top of the lineup. We may have to play BJ because of money, but he doesn't have to bat higher than 8th because of money.
