There are 5 players in the Wizard’s line-up, that can and will hit 20 or more HRs this season, provided they don’t get hurt, and miss a lot of games.

Serious question- why is it not a viable option to play Prado at 3rd every day (that chippers out) and then platoon Diaz and Hinske in the outfield with Bourne and Heyward? That takes Francisco’s shoddy defense out of the equation and gives us a power bat deep in the lineup when Hinske plays.
I dont see the downside.
Also, why was Hernandez still in the game last night when it was a 4-3 game with one out and runners on the corners? We have guys in the bullpen for a reason…why not bring in a sinker/slider reliever/ground ball guy and try to end the inning right there? I dont get why Hernandez stays in there..

No – manager going out the door is a visceral reaction that makes fans feel like something is changing. The true way is to methodically change the players… a trade here and later a trade there.. to address weaknesses.

Why would you be surprised. You are relying on Heyward to come back and be a 280 hitter at best. An unknown in CF, hoping Prado will come back in left. At 3rd you are relying on an oft injured old man and someone who couldn’t even make the Reds squad and then a rookie at short. At 2nd you are hoping your power will return to his 260 lifetime average and at first we have some hope in a potential good player with the emphasis on Potential. Pitching is good and at catcher we are hoping McCann returns to his all star form. Does this sound like a formula for a winning year. Only is everything comes together, which it seldom does.

Thank GOD none of you folks are the President, GM or manager of the Braves. Someone goes 0-4 & your ready to give them an outright release…It’s fine to be frustrated, but good lord, there’s still 158 games to play. AND, Diaz played b/c he’s hit over .400 against Happ in his career & J-Hey has struggled against lefites. I bet if Diaz went 3-4 with 2 HRs last night, everyone would be saying “Great move by Fredi to put Diaz in there…” Enough of the mellow drama people. You dont like it, stop watching, but I doubt your “boycott” will have much of a following. Go Braves!

If these games don’t matter, than why are we playing them? I’m sick and tired of the kool-aid drinking Braves fans saying “these games don’t matter”. Remember last season, we missed the playoffs by one game. If we would have won one of those “games that doesn’t matter”, we would have made it to the playoffs. Also, people have a reason to worry about this team. We pretty much have the same team out there, that was part of the historic collapse last season.

I am not crying that the sky is falling, but I am saying this team has glaring issues offensively. I have been saying this for 2 1/2 years now. Derek, there’s nothing wrong with folks sharing their thoughts on how to improve the team. Those who are calling for Fredi to get fired are knee-jerk reactionaries who would continue to fire coaches to make themselves feel as though something is being corrected. I agree with you about those idiots. For the others here who are debating how to correct some aspects of the team, I have no issues.

@ Phil. Are the Braves 0-4 or 0-40??? I realize the Braves are struggling, but you do realize that this is b/c of Liberty Media, not Wren or Fredi, right? Although I agree they do have some responsibility, Liberty could care less about the Braves, their record or success. If we dont grown with the league in payroll or inflation of even decent players, you get this: affordable, less than moderate scrap pile players such as Durbin, Livan and Fransisco. You can go ahead and add me to the deranged list, but I will still be there, good or bad, at the end of the season, while you will be jumping on and off the band wagon…

I have nothing against any Braves’ fan who believes that this team is capable of getting to the playoffs and going deep once there. As I stated before, I envy such positive thinking. I just do not think you can ignore what has happened since September 1 of last year. This team is poorly managed, fundamentally flawed at the plate, and psychologically scarred from failing so much in the clutch. Other posters have detailed the Braves’ shortcomings.
I am a big tennis fan, so maybe I should heed the advice of Realistic Fan … not so much.

Keep blaming fredi and liberty. That’s what wren will do. Tampa and Arizona made playoffs last year with half the payroll of the braves and aren’t paying one cent to former players with their 2012 payroll. We have made the playoffs once since 2005 and wouldn’t have made them in 2010 except that Troy Glaus carried the team on his shoulders the first 2 and a half months of that season. Anybody willing to make a straight up trade of Heyward for the right fielder in KC? But keep hope alive, Selig has added more wild card teams to the playoff mix this year. One day a team with a losing record will probably qualify for the playoffs. Pathetic.

Coming home we will see the kiddies and wifes to come in have a sunny day outside and enjoy the game (They wont care what the score is). But Males ages 18 -99 will know what is really going on and most of them will get even more vocal about the failures of this team from last season and now toward this season. The Front Office did absolutely NOTHING to improve, (Then if you feel it wasnt the players it must be the manager)……Oh wait they kept Fredi Gonzalez. Yea we are only 0-4 but we are only 0-4 against the worst teams in Baseball…..Whats gonna happen when we play the Phillies, Cardnials, Diamondbacks, Brewers, and Nationals.

Ahh.. so you can get inside the players to determine who is and isn’t making an effort. I think it’s more about talent, personally. McCann has proven himself over time and Uggla just needs to straighten out the streakiness. As for Heyward, I just don’t know what he is yet – - and I don’t think he knows what he is yet. Is he a power hitter? More of a contact hitter? Has he figured out which bad habits snuck into his swing when he was hurt? Can he change his approach now that pitchers have made adjustments against him?

I could see Prado and Jurrjens, but Huddy is a 10-5 player and McCann is the best hitting catcher in the game. We’re already the 4th youngest team in baseball we don’t need to get younger the guys we have now are good players we’re just missing a game changing player like Chipper use to be.

I am never this negative this early in the season and maybe I am buying into the negative hype, but that is 4 games this season and 18 from the end of last year, THAT THEY PLAYED WITH NO DESIRE to succeed – Don’t talk about the payroll being down from last year – there is talent on this team. They do not believe in something – maybe the team, maybe themselves, but I still stand by what I said earlier – The manager is the one who sets the tone and I do not think he is capable of doing so. His last two post game interviews are stumbling, fumbling —throw in one accurate point of “he hit the ball hard to to right field” – then more bumbling emotional backspin – How can he turn this around when he has no clue why it is happening – We are the third youngest team (w/out Chipper on the active) and these kids need a GENERAL, not a buck private who can peal potatoes. This start reminds of the team of the early 80’s – quite scary to live through that again!!!!

@ Crazy trust me this team isnt a 89 win team this year. The fact is Chipper will play 100 games if we are lucky and even then I only expect .270 10 HR and 55 RBIs. McCann maybe should be traded because he will make 12 million next season his defense has gone south and his Average is heading south. We have Christian Bethancourt who by some is the #1 rated Catcher prospect in baseball. And David Ross can be a number 1 catcher. Its just economics but Hudson will want to go to a playoff team and a team needing pitching like Boston, New York, or Texas would offer a lot for him. We need something to happen because what we have isnt working. So who do you blame for the playoff collapse and the 0-4 record against the Mets and Astros?????????

I blame youth and Fred for the collapse and the 0-4 start is irrelevant at this point. If it was football 0-4 would be a big deal, but its baseball 0-4 to start a 162 game schedule isn’t anything to freak out about.

Why is everyone harping about losing four in a row to the worst teams in the league? You’re all wrong, BECAUSE IF YOU LOSE FOUR IN A ROW TO THE WORST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE, GUESS WHAT? YOU ARE THE WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE!!

Exactly. And although Freddi gets his share of blame… sometimes rightly so… I place the bulk of responsibility for this mediocre product on Wren/Schuerholtz. And I’d just like to crack the 90 Million salary level to give us a little flexibility.

Yes I’m talking about the 40 yr 3B. He’s the guy we need just a younger version that plays 150 games a year.

That would’ve been great… Chipper and Beltran could’ve given each other company in the trainer’s room and in the dugout during DL stints.

Exactly. Beltran is known for his chronically bad knees.

When I saw they are paying Livan Hernandez 750k I almost threw up on my desk. I’m a casual baseball follower, but even I know this guy is complete garbage.
