Definitely the old fire of 2018-2021 is gone.I don't ever root to miss the playoffs. Not in my dna. But, you almost wonder if missing them would light some fire under em for next year. We've seemed in a fog all year.

It’s systemic. Olson’s HR had a 41 degree launch angle. Whatever happened to a level swing? If you hit a ball with a 20-40 degree launch angle, if it doesn’t go out then it’s just a long or high out. However, if you hit is level, there are a lot of things that can happen. Those RISP might even score.Will we see a new coaching staff in Atlanta next year? Kick Snit up to a gig in leadership off the field?
It isn't coaching that's the problem. It's the players.Will we see a new coaching staff in Atlanta next year? Kick Snit up to a gig in leadership off the field?

I’d say it’s both, no need to be binary. Wash sent runners with abandon, Tuisosgfresghju doesn’t. The Braves lose both because the aggressiveness is gone and they try to jack every pitch out of the park, with a bit of crappy relief pitching sprinkled over the top. Just not a real good team right now.Nope. Their approach at the plate is elementary, no adjustments. Their performance on the basepaths is laughable. These are why they can't score.
A man on 2nd with 2 outs wasn't going on contact, ended up at 3rd instead of scoring. Why? 3rd base coach's poor decision. Of course they end up losing by 1 run.
This happened in the 8th inning (iirc) of a game they HAD to win.
The little things add up. They have enough players to win these games, even after the injuries.

I tend to agree but not thrilled about the coaching either and that extends to Seitzer, the hitting coach.I blame that on the player. Heck, even I know that with 2 out runners go on contact. Shouldn't need a "coach" at any level above middle school to tell you that when you are on the base path.
