Braves @ Marlins (6/20-6/22)

It's going to be a long week.

Harris has an OBP of .248

At what point does his defense not excuse his plate discipline?

Albies and Allen are also under .300 in OBP

Acuna is the only player over .400 in OBP and at that he’s over .500

We have way too many mediocre to terrible hitting players on this team.

I’m ready to rip the bandaid off and unload everyone but Acuna and Strider.

Just unacceptable how bad this team is right now.

Sucks outscoring a team and still losing the series. The bats aren’t consistent enough. The new hitting coach isn’t working.

This team just sucks. Trade everyone. but Acuńa

White should be the everyday LF and Verdugo just used to give him a day off and PH. Verdugo has the worst WAR on the team (0.1) among the regular starters. Feels like White is still in the dog house for the base running blunder. He has more RBIs, more HRs, more doubles, and triples than Verdugo. It's not by much, but it is more.

The 7-8-9 are essentially auto-outs at this point. How bad does the hitting have to get before it trumps the good defense from Harris and Allen? Honestly, though, there is no one any better on the bench to replace them.

Maybe I wouldn't trade everyone, but I'd start with the 7-8-9 hitters and the entire bench.

I’m really disappointed in the regression of Albies and Harris especially.

They looked like potential All-Star players who would play solid Defense and hit in the .275 - .280 range at least.

They are closer to the Mendoza line than .300

Riley and Ozuna should flirt with .300 or higher.

They are now in the .250 range with Olson.

Acuna is the only good to great hitter on the team at this point and the only guy I care about keeping in a Braves uniform.
