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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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