Stayed hot but seem to have been figured out and are looking like the team many expected to see in the off season.

We’re not at the all star break until another 2 weeks and their division lead is in great danger already.

Acuna will come back, Baldwin will regain his stride, Olson will get hot again (most streaky player in baseball).

I say yes, but we will bow out in the divisional round.

If we don't get starting pitching help by trade deadline, I can see us missing the playoffs at this rate. June was a brutal month and the Phillies are playing good baseball right now.

Also hard to believe that everyone went cold at the same time when June came around. Especially after being one of the best hitting teams in baseball the first 60 games.

They are hard to watch right now. The fall off has been insane.

The Braves bowing out of the playoffs is how we know Fall has arrived.

It's like the Autumnal Groundhog Day.

I'm leaning no. The roster is objectively bad right now. The starting rotation after Sale is arse, the offense outside of Olson, Harris, and sometimes Albies is dreadful right now and I'm starting to wonder if Baldwin's oblique injury has messed up his swing for the time being.

Acuna coming back will help, but other than that, there are no reinforcements on the way and AA has been notoriously gunshy about making a big trade at the deadline. I'm honestly not sure this team is worth making any big deadline moves for anyways.

They've lost 8 games off of their division lead in about 3 weeks. It's not unrealistic to think they could lose 8 more games in the standings the rest of the way, which would put them outside of the wild card.

I think the answer is no. We have 2 years of data now saying this particular group is not playoff caliber. I hate it, but it’s time to reset.

The answer is a resounding NOOOOOOOOOOOO. IMO close call to escape the celler.

Funny, todayl is Bobby Bonilla day. If I was the Braves front office I would get my attorneys and Austin Riley's attorneys together and concoct some type of contract payout and possibly create a potential Austin Riley day

I was at the game last night and it was tough. We left at least 10 guys on base. Both Riley and Olsen could have brought us back. Tons of opportunities to win the game.

I won't watch unless we're in the world series.

I think we will be fine. I'm not in panic mode yet
