81-81 was an optimistic prediction to start the year. Calm down.

Yeah, but 81-81 now would be a disappointment.
Bottom line is that the Braves, who have been amongst one of the best teams through roughly half the season, had a chance to really make some hay with this 14 game stretch against under .500 teams. Started off great with a 6-1 mark, but have tailed off dramatically at 2-4 and need to win today to avoid a quite average 8-6 record in those 14 games.
Expectations have changed since the beginning of the year, so it's OK to be disappointed. I'm sure the team is not thrilled about how they've performed during this home stand.

Forget not that we’re missing our closer. And our Stud SP prospect who was performing well and our stud LF prospect who adds extreme versatility to the lineup and stress on the opposing teams. Who’d you rather face, Acuna or Culberson/Santana?

Viz being out has hurt. Our bullpen has been unreliable this past week and has cost us a couple of wins. AA needs to get out there and find a true fix. This shuffling of AAAA pitchers is not going to cut it.
