You expect me to believe this team is buying? I’m supposed to believe the team with Jesse Chavez pitching in extra innings and Abraham Almonte batting lead-off is going to contend for anything? That the lineup Matt Wisler carved up is going to go on a tear in the second half and sneak into the postseason?
No. The answer to all of them is a resounding no.
The Braves lost another game they should have won tonight, coughing up a 6-4 lead in the 8th inning on the way to a 7-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
