re: How bad are the Atlanta Braves?

Panicing this early is stupid.

Exactly.

5 of the 9 Atlanta regulars in the lineup are batting under .190. No way in hell that can stay the same so you have to expect the hitting to pick up as the season goes on. Do the Braves need another bat in a big way? Absolutely and hopefully that comes mid season but until then, the team just needs to start playing baseball better which means just being able to hit behind the runner or put the ball in the outfield with a runner on 3rd base and simple stuff like that. Every single run matters on this team with the pitching staff that we have so we just need to do the small things better.

Things will pick up though. Let's take 2 out of 4 against the Cards then take care of business against the Stros and Nats and we'll be fine. Come back in a month or month and a half and maybe I'll be panicing then.
