Direct baseball-related questions don’t seem all too relevant anymore
The Braves’ tumble has been a sight to behold, and as such, fretting about the specifics of in-season stuff can be left for another day when there’s actually something somewhat relevant to discuss. Issues regarding bunting or reliever usage just don’t seem very pertinent when your team is -5 vis-a-vis BaseRuns and run differential, and accrued most of that -5 in the span of a single losing streak.
So, let’s get morbid-ish. You know fiction, presumably. You know it comes in many forms. Which one of those forms is the most apt descriptor of this Atlanta Braves 2025 season, so far?
