ESPN handed out midseason grades for all 30 MLB teams, and spoiler alert, the Braves did not score well.
The club received an “F” for its first-half performance, making it one of three organizations (with the Rockies and Orioles) to earn a failing grade.
ESPN reporter David Schoenfield called the Braves “the biggest disappointment in the National League” and said the club is falling short of its preseason expectations of battling for a World Series, a statement reflected within its 39-51 record and 13-game deficit in the NL East.
“(The Braves are) fighting the Orioles for most disappointing overall,” Schoenfield wrote.
