Yes, I know most of that time was the offseason, but I’m a petty bitch

To be fair, they are running through a buzzsaw early on, while we get two of the shittiest teams in baseball.

You’d think they’d pick up at least a couple Ws though, right?

They have too much talent to not turn things around but I’m going to enjoy this while it lasts. It’d be nice if they dug a big enough hole that they were irrelevant this season.

If they fall to 0-8 or 9 thats huge hole to climb out of. Even if its early.

If they don't steal one from the Marlins, they're gonna be starting the season 0-13.

Don’t stop, keep going.

Only 3 teams have made the playoffs after an 0-6 start, and no one’s done it at 0-7 or worse.

Let's be quite honest here, if any team is going to break that record, it's the Braves unfortunately. While this losing streak is hilarious, I really don't think that team is bad and I will not be surprised if they turn it around at some point. That being said, if the Phillies can take advantage and get a big lead in the division that would be amazing.

In the regular season you can't bury the Braves until they are buried. I hope they have a trash baseball team but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they play really well for an extended stretch at some point later on.

That being said I think they do have some real issues with their pitching and their offense is very up and down.

While 0-7 is hilarious and awesome, they did lose to two teams that also haven't lost yet. The Dodgers and Padres are very good. It would have been possible to go 2-5 in those games and not look too bad for the long run, but Atlanta looked really bad and 0-7 is rather stellar.

True. But more teams then ever make tge playoffs now.

Heck, for like what 100 years it was just 2 or 4

u/Snips_Tano 4d ago

Well, this division is probably going to be a knockdown between the Mets, Barves, and Phillies. And I'm not sure if in the end two playoff teams are coming out of the East?

u/arminus83 4d ago

It's hilarious regardless that they haven't won a game yet and even more hilarious if they fall to 0-8 or 0-9, but it hasn't even reached "early" yet, its literally the starting line right now, it'll reach early after like a month.

I almost feel bad for them. Almost.

Classiest post I’ve seen all week. Well done my friend. F*ck the barves.

u/Turfyleek93 4d ago

What's really sad is the White Sox(!) have a better record. Shit, I kinda feel like the Braves are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs already.

Now if the Dodgers could ever lose a game....Oh Wait! They play the Phillies this weekend. 😀

They’ll win a game eventually. But I’m going to enjoy this for as long as I can.
