Same old Braves...

Blew a 3-2 lead in the top of the 9th and lost. The ownership refuses to invest in winning a championship.

Give them a couple of years . The farm league is loaded, possibly the best in all of baseball right now.

It is the best in baseball. As it was 5 years ago. They refuse to pay to hang on to the talent.

I agree . However, we should have won today. I don't like putting blame on anyone but Beckham with the two strikeouts and the HUGE error really affected the game .

5 yrs ago the Braves had a much higher payroll, and probably the worst farm system in baseball.

Aj dropped an almost perfect throw to cut down tying run and end game. Then as usual a lead off walk a badly shifted defense cost us a hit. Then a bunt hit and boom.

Their games are blacked out in Raleigh, so I couldn't watch.

I think next year will be the start of something special. The farm will start to trickle out soon and Braves will have deep pockets and be able to keep ballpark revenue. Good times are coming soon

The outfield throw was just average. It was a 2 bouncer from a shallow hit ball. No need to bounce one that close. The second bounce skidded low under his glove.

This is not the same old braves. This team is going to struggle but they have rebuilt the farm system by trading away their high dollar players. The farm system was terrible two years ago, now it is considered the best in baseball. This is the same model that was done in the late 80's early 90's. I remember when Dale Murphy was traded, everyone questioned that move but in the long run it payed off. Have some patience for the next couple of years and I do believe they will be back.

Then no way they'd remember Bob Horner. Or Knucksie. Or Eddie Matthews.
