Watching Milwaukee whip the Dodgers' arse just shows exactly how far away the Braves are from being a serious contender. They are making these Dodger pitchers work for every out and punishing any mistakes they make.

This Dodger edition was very beatable, as we all thought in the Braves series.
Problem was our guys choked in critical situations, seemed scared of the big moment.
Brew crew, putting balls in play, working counts, clutch hits, gold glove plays, particuliarly in the OF, on the cusp of sweeping Dodgers.
Funny thing is Dodger payroll is more than Brewers, Guardians, and DRays combined.

You, me and anyone else who understands how to apply statistics beyond W-L records have been calling this out for a while now.

But as always with the ATL Threads, those concerns were deemed "being too negative" by loser gatekeepers who don't understand baseball and/or don't have the Braves' best interests at heart.

Funny how the dude who started all the game threads this season has suddenly gone MIA in this thread.

The really frustrating part of this it isn't like the Dodgers just broke out the boom sticks and bludgeoned us to death. I didn't think they played particularly well against us and they looked very beatable, as is being proven now. We were just so bad on offense that we couldn't take advantage.

I keep going back and forth trying to decide if this team needs to completely blow up the core, or if they need to hope a fully healthy offseason will help Acuna and (especially) Riley find something again and make one major offensive addition.

I think they actually played worse in our series than they are right now in this Brewers series from an offensive standpoint.

Ohtani is still a non-factor like he was in the NLDS, but they are manufacturing runs much better against the Brewers than they were against us when they were just HR or bust.

Sonny Gray saying he wants to be a Brave without saying he wants to be a Brave

quote:

Gray has said he plans to pitch in his age-37 season, hoping to finally get the chance to win his first World Series. The Red Sox will likely be among his primary suitors, though some believe he might prefer to join a team closer geographically to his home in Tennessee.

I would take Sonny Gray in a fricking heartbeat. I've wanted him in this rotation for years.

Good for Contreras.

Dude was heartbroken when the Braves traded him away to the point he was refusing to contact his agent for a week.

Now he’s an anchor bat on a team going to the World Series.

At least he got a ring with us I guess, but damn what a blunder of a trade.

Classic case of AA trying to outsmart himself.

Braves have to make a decision whether or not they'll try to keep competing with this core or try competing with the next wave of prospects coming up. Won't be able to do both because we'll have to trade from one to help the other.

If it's this, they would have to land a young star hitter and some quality pitching because while we have some guys on the farm that could project as part of a new playoff-contending core, our prospect loadout is not deep at all right now.

AA needs to be fired for the Contreras trade alone.

That may be the worst trade in Braves history. And that’s saying something considering how bad some past trades have been, Wainwright etc
