It's malpractice at this point to have Riley hitting in the middle of the lineup

Out of nowhere Sale has lost the feel of every single pitch

Ronald has to lead the league in fly outs to the warning track so far this season.

18 straight hitters retired.

This lineup is not setup to produce over the course of a 162 game season.

This team seems like they're about to completely fall apart. AA's refusal to add a bat was worse than his refusal to add a starter, IMO. This core needs a major shakeup.

Yeah, outside of the 17-run game (some of that against a position player), and a last inning comeback, the offense has been not good. Hopefully the pitching can keep us going, particularly when the guys start coming off the IL.

Not really panicked, might be completely fine.

But watching people on X and Reddit freak out about it - what did you expect with this bit and piece lineup?

I think way too many people assumed they'll hit like it's 2023 again if they're healthy while completely ignoring everything else going on around them.

IMO, the league deadening the baseballs prior to 2024 messed the Braves up a lot more than most teams. The league wanted fewer homers and more action on the bases while AA gave out long term contracts to several guys (Riley, Murphy, and Harris) whose offensive value was almost solely based on hitting the ball hard in the air. Balls that would have barely gone out in 2023 are dying at the warning track now and these guys are mindfricked because of it.

Firing Seitzer and hiring Hyers was an attempt to adjust to the deadened balls but it isn't working because they're trying to fundamentally change who these guys are.

Can we get Nacho Alvarez back to play 3rd Base? Is that even possible? Is he still in the Braves org?

Yeah but he's not a MLB player, literally and figuratively.
