Ebbs and flows aren’t playing roughly 50 games looking like they rather be doing anything other than playing baseball right now. Ebbs and flows are multiple 4 or 5 game losing streaks. This team is a whole lot closer to being the Orioles than they are the Dodgers. It’s absolutely pathetic. But let’s not do this song and dance tonight. I’m not in the mood for it. Having a bad day with my health again and having trouble breathing. I love how you extract a chunk of games to try and prove your point. Every situation described ARE part of the ebbs and flows.

But it shouldn’t be this hard to beat the Nationals when the Phillies are beating the socks off the Nats. It’s embarrassingly pathetic!! Like we said, ebbs and flows. We destroyed the Nats earlier this year but now we struggled a bit. Ebbs and flows are the ENTIRE 162 game season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTiger7222 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The Braves are only 74-65. They should be 79-60. 5 games is a big difference when it comes to what your record is and what it should be, especially since the Phillies are better than they should be. Phillies are 71-69 when they should be 69-71. So, the Braves are only up 3.5 games when they should be up 11.5 games. That's a ginormous difference and one of the reasons I'm in a grumpy mood even though the Braves won tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The braves have more margin than the Phillies do. Particularly because of 3 game series at the end of September. Assuming the lead stays the same then they need to sweep the Braves and take 2 out of 3 from Marlins( which is no given) and hope that the Mets take 2 out of 3 from the braves. If the braves win just 1 of those games vs the Phillies then they need to sweep the marlins and then hope that the Mets sweep the Braves. If the Braves win 2 out of the 3 from the Phillies then they will most likely win the east Both teams have pretty favorable schedules so I could absolutely see the 3.5 game lead hold until that series. So basically Philly has to be on point and hope that the braves lose and they win to keep that scenario from playing out.....it is always dangerous to rely on others to get the job done.

That’s assuming it’s still 3.5 games come the end of September. With how poorly the Braves are playing right now that’s far from a given.

And honestly I don't think that they are playing that poorly. The took 2 out of 3 from the Giants They split in Colorado where the Rockies are very good at home. They dropped 3 nail biters to the Dodgers in LA that could easily have been a series win. So yeah...the braves are not perfect right now but it is not as bad as you make it seem TheTrue7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Got really lucky to win 2 of 3 here. A win is a win though. Hopefully they'll clean it up against Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m judging how the Braves are playing based on how they look and they look like dog meat right now and have for the last couple of weeks. If they were playing better they would have won more games. They won last night but they didn’t play well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the Braves are playing right now will not win in October and I wanna see the Braves win in October. I don’t care to throw a parade for the Braves just making the playoffs cause they’re in the worst division in baseball this year and wouldn’t be higher than 3rd in any other division. And just like that the Braves are losing again!!! Jesus Christ this team is a freaking crap fest right now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the 16-2 stretch this team has been very predictable this year. The 16-2 stretch came completely out of nowhere and unless they’re purposely playing like crap I don’t believe they’ve got another one in them. But most of all it’s the lack of fire from this team. They look flat. Snit hasn’t been ejected from a game since 2019. I show more emotion than he does!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we’ve seen it happen but because you don’t see it happening again (even when you didn’t see it happening before), that means it won’t happen again? a manager being ejected means nothing.
