The pitching has bee the ride or die this year. If the Braves get a lead or can keep it within 1-2 runs they have a shot but when they get down early the offense just doesn't have the oomph to overcome it.

ETA too much emphasis on long ball and not on situational hitting. Chipper said it himself AA is only interested in hrs and obp but they have done a poor job situationally. This is not just Braves though it has become an epidemic in the game from mlb on down.
Where have I seen this play before..... maybe in DNF this past spring???
