I haven't posted about the Braves in a while.
First of all, they're driving me crazy. I spend 3 hours almost everyday watching my favorite team try to win ball games. Recently, they've been wasting the great efforts of their starting pitching by scoring 0 or 1 runs. It's ridiculous. Yesterday is the perfect example, Javier Vazquez pitched a gem of a game, giving up 1 run. The lousy Braves couldn't even score 1 run to tie up the game, much less 2 to win.
It's so disappointing.
However, I am not a fair weather fan. I will not give up on my team.
I have high hopes for the Braves. I know that they can turn it around. I don't blame Terry Pendleton (hitting coach) or anyone else. I think it's a team mindset that they need to get over.
At least Frenchy has started hitting.
What do you think about the Braves recently?

Braves are driving me crazy. How we are only 4-5 games out of 1st, I don't know.
My opinions:
-New hitting coach (sorry TP, you were an incredible player, not-so-great hitting coach)
-New bat. We need some power. We don't have a solid middle bat. Trade Frenchy if you have too or release Garrett Anderson (he looks like he's asleep all the time.)
-Speed. Need a pure leadoff hitter. McClouth is a really good player, but he needs to be hitting 2 or 3. Find someone who is a natural leadoff and a threat on the base paths.
I thought we'd be doing much better than we are. We need someone to fire them up, we don't have a real leader on the team. Chipper is trying more recently, but he's a more lead by example. Gotta get them ready to play!
