An image showing celebrated relief ace Bruce Sutter giving up a home run late in the Braves’ 1985 season may describe how the club’s current players are feeling these days.
That season the Braves finished with 96 losses and was the beginning of a six-year stretch where the club lost an average of 96 games a season and including losing 106 in ’88, a franchise-worse since the team dropped 115 games in 1935 when the team was in Boston and the next year they changed their name to the Bees before going to back to the current moniker in 1941.
