The Atlanta Braves are struggling considerably this season, particularly highlighted by two recent shutout losses against the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves' roster issues stem from a combination of poor management decisions, budget cuts, and injuries, leading to a lineup filled with underperformers and Quad-A players. Manager Brian Snitker faces criticism, but the core problems lie with ownership and general manager Alex Anthopoulos, whose decisions have been detrimental to team competitiveness. Key pitchers like Bryce Elder and Joe Jimenez are struggling, while other players lack the skills needed for a successful major league presence. The Braves' current trajectory suggests a disappointing season ahead, as they remain on pace for a subpar performance.
