Managed one run and five hits tonight against the Angels. Offense is horrid. What are the chances they actually blow this thing up at the deadline? Not trade Acuna or anything stupid like has been mentioned, but feels like the roster needs a shakeup

The problem is there is nobody competent enough currently in the organization to undertake a "breakup"

Hitting coach needs to go. The offense is abysmal overall and the least clutch I've seen in a while. The depth is poor and the farm is depleted.

AA got lucky in 21 is all I have to say at this point

Haven’t won a playoff series since Freddie Freeman and Dansby Swanson left.

Winning at a high level for long periods is hard. Only way you can do it, is by buying everyone.

rest have to either blow it up, with no guarantees, or do a slow rebuild, while keeping the big pieces around(like stl is doing).

winning baseball can spoil a fan base, you expect it.

Listen to offers for Ozuna, Iggy, and perhaps Murphy.

Can’t blow it up bc the Braves have no one anyone would want due to their contracts.

Ozuna is hurt, struggling, and FA after season. He’s the only guy that had value, maybe.

Maybe Murphy gets you something.

Sale could have returned something but broke his rib in yet another random injury and is now out lol.

No one’s trading for Harris, Riley, Albies or Olson and the Braves aren’t moving Acuna. Strap up, this squad is going to look the same next year !

They would get a king's ransom for Olson if they made him available, but I agree with the rest. Riley is a damn headcase.

I think anyone not named Acuna, Olson, Sale, Schwellenbach, and Strider should be available in the offseason. I really like Baldwin, but I'd trade him for a top tier middle infielder if the right deal came along.

I’m starting to believe the Braves are secretly using the Saints and Pelicans medical staffs. The number of injuries, especially to the pitching staff, is alarming.

In the past 2 seasons the Braves have lost Strider, Sale, Lopez, Smith-Schauver, Schwellenbach and who else am I missing to significant IR stays. It truly is unbelievable. When you’re not financially able or unwilling to step up and pay a pitcher like Fried it compounds things.

Add the seemingly annual injuries to Albies, Riley and Murphy, and you’re not going to win. Honestly it’s amazing they’ve won as much as they have.
