Atlanta Braves Fan Confidence Poll

we lose a few games and the poll drops….

Voted a 6 like I have been.
Until they prove to me they can play better than .500 ball for more than 2 games, that’s where I’ll be.

If you take a poll weekly, it will of course get the knee-jerk responses of the last game(s) in people’s minds. It’s logical and human nature. A monthly poll might allow for the tides of emotion to settle out more….But either way, it’s just something for fun.

ok we have lost a few games recently..but there is still plent of time to throw together a streak and we are right back in this. Our future looks great!

What a crappy day for a poll. I mean, I’ve been in the 7-8 region all year, but after last night I’m feeling more like a 4.

I’m conscientiously objecting to my own vote, and am abstaining for at least 24 hours.

Any organization that has Randy Gress in its system deserves a 10.

which i’ve done for the past two months

I’m still holding out hope for the post season this year, but even if the Braves fall out of contention there are definite positive trends which warrant confidence in the club. The focus on improving the pitching, the guys coming up from the minors, and some pretty good trade moves are all good signs that management is looking to make post season appearances a regular occurrence once again.

Get over it. If someon is pissed off and wants to vote 4, let them vote 4. If someone votes 10, they vote 10. Its not like its going to change anything.

as i have for awhile now.
I cannot go with a higher number until I see the team improve on getting RISP home, thus giving the BP room for mistakes. We cannot expect and over used BP to be perfect. They need more runs to work with, if Bobby continues to use the same pitchers night after night!

I still think we have a slim shot at the playoffs this year, but I’m extremely optimistic about the coming seasons. If Schafer and Heyward can transition well next year, we’ll have essentially the same club we started with in 2009, but with our greatest positional liability (OF) replaced wholesale with presumably more productive personnel.

With the possible addition of Hudson and whatever goodies we can land with the salary freed up by departing Free Agents, I feel like we’ll be in very good shape.

1B may be an issue, but the worst we can do is opt for an internal stopgap for Freeman, none of whom I feel are incapable.

So if 17% wants to vote 4 or lower, that’s fine. I just don’t think it makes any sense.
