The Braves cannot "string hits together" because the lineup card has the CURRENTLY better hitters too far apart.

Stars are the players that "shine the brightest when the lights are the hottest." Braves management began letting them leave, with no better example than Max Fried. Face it: the Braves don't have the will or money to field the best team anymore.

I agree with everything you say here, but I am a bit more critical. I don't remember your exact comment on youtube, something to the effect of winning but morally losing...a perfect explanation what we are all witnessing with this latest rendering of the Braves. I think we were all hoping the funk was gone where Harris is concerned. Instead we got a half of one good game from him then right back to all the bad things. Walking away from a winning game with the feeling we lost, as quite frankly two bad teams playing each other until one team screwed up enough to lose. Our offense is gone, and everyone is to blame. We have no stars on the field, none. Now we have some real studs on the pitching side, but do we really want to see Chris Sale give another A-Plus outing with little to no run support? I don't know where the magic will come from, but it has got to come from somewhere, and if it doesn't, then the General Manager will get the boot, the head coach will get the boot, the asst. coaches will as well. Then the player dumping will begin. It is no fluke that Max Fried is doing so well this year as he is now on a team with a winning plan, instead of a team that is floundering. It is judgement day folks. It is put up time!
