Unfortunately, Lindsay, you speak truth. Our offense mad Liberatore look like Sandy Koufax. Daniel, this is one (albeit sad) reason to be on Braves Today. You can vent while we vent with you. And Bruce, you hit the nail on the head
1. Put your $11MM guy in the outfield FULLTIME with Harris and Eli. Suck it up, Buttercup.
2. Mateo at SS, Dubon at 3rd.
3. Sit $20+MM/year Riley permanently, unless Mateo or Olsen needs a night off.
4. If you can get out of that $20MM/year mistake (I thought we were stuck with him for 3 years; maybe not?) called a shortstop, do it now and bring up someone to fill in for Kim who can do better than .044 average and -3 defense.
This is the ugliest baseball I've seen from the Braves since the late 60's/early 70's when we averaged about 3 runs/game. Boring. Unable to watch.
The most frustrating part of all of this is the fact that there are so many things going wrong. Where do you start? Are starting pitcher rotation is in shambles. I don't know what to say about the offense. So many things going wrong. Everyone here knows all this. I'm just so frustrated I have to vent somewhere. I've been following the Braves since 1972. Yes there have been a lot of things that have gone wrong through the years. But I can't remember the total collapse of a team that started so well. Maybe they were playing over their heads, and maybe the team had a lot of luck. Who knows. But we care. I wait the next move.
1. Why not sit Riley, put Mateo at 3B, Dubon at SS, Smith in LF. Can't be any worse.
2. Drag Chipper to the batting cage and see if Riley will listen. I can't remember the last time Riley even hit a hard foul ball. A big night for him is one base on balls.
A waste of money on last offseasons free agents except for Dubon. Could have stuck with Mateo, Dom, Dubon and dropped those ridiculous ticket prices!
