Atlanta Braves Fan Confidence Poll

Because we still allow Chavez to be on the team

This Braves team has looked fantastic lately. Hopefully we can take two out of three from the White Sox and continue our ridiculous run of not losing series. Also, yesterday looks like a sign that Heyward is coming around. Yes, he struck out once and went 1-3 but he also drew two walks. Chipper won’t be retiring at the end of the season if he keeps hitting like he is now. This teams has such great morale and unity and this has been created by Hinske and Ross. Hinske is such a gamer! I can’t say enough about this Braves team, clearly. Anyway, GO BRAVES!!

Chipper Jones is coming around with the bat, so is Yunel, the team is looking oodles better with McLouth on the DL, we’ve got Saito, Jurrjens, and Diaz all on their way back fairly soon, and we’ve got Jason Heyward. Farm system is flush with pitching-Teheran and Delgado continue to impress, Minor’s strikeouts aren’t going anywhere, and even though Vizcaino has struggled a bit following his promotion, he’s still a 19 year old in high A.

Oh, and despite our issues in CF and left, we’re the highest scoring offense in the National League. Yes, that’s right-this offense, which draws tons of complaints, scores more than any other team in the league, even the almighty Phillies (who, seriously, are down at 6th. Jeff Schultz needs to get over them).

Best record in the National League would be worth a few more tens, I thought.

My highest voting of the year, too…In all honesty, I was more impressed by the sweep of the Royals than the wins over Minny and Tampa…Don’t get me wrong, those were huge series wins, for they prove that we can play (and beat) anyone…

I just like the fight the team showed against a feisty underdog in KC…To not only win that series, but to sweep, was a testament to the focus this team has…Some teams would’ve just thrown in the mental towel yesterday, but not this team…We weren’t content with just a series win against KC, we wanted (and got) the sweep…

Go Braves!

Here taken or currently in ochem 2? Please for the love of Heyward I need some help!

UNTIL WE FIRE KAWAKRAPPY THIS TEAM IS GOING NOWHERE!!!

Chippers bats heating up!

I’m at the highest I’ve ever been at a 9.

Winning the series against the Twins and Rays really showed the depth and heart this team has right now…and all that with Heyward and Chipper struggling. Both seem to be coming around too, so watch out!!

Staying at 8. That’s pretty much a 10 from me. Unless the pitch for the final out in the World Series is in mid flight, it probably won’t get any higher.

We have been playing good baseball lately, though we only played good enough to beat the Royals in the last series. I don’t think we would have gotten away with what we did if we were playing a better team.

And now I’m at a 9. I love this team!

I love this team. I think some of the new ones that have been on winning teams of late, have brought that mindset with them to Atlanta! This team has a “never give up” attitude. Even those that are slow or injured, hustle around the bases.
This team has a winning spirit! I feel we have the ability to be playing in the WS come October.
This team is So much fun to watch:)

And the overall organization? Everytime I see one of these, I can only consider Vizcaino and Teheran tearing up the minor leagues, however, most of the comments mention only the Atlanta results.

I try to weigh it like this: 50% the MLB team on the field, while the rest is a combination of the farm system, the team we’ll be putting out the next two or three seasons, and the results of the front office. For the year, FW has gotten a solid A+ from me for getting Glaus and Hinske on the cheap, and Wagner is looking great as well. And in the farm system, while the lack of great hitters is bothersome, the kickass Myrtle Beach rotation is worth a C+ by itself, and when I toss in a few other names like Minor, Lopez, Salcedo, Freeman, and Bethancourt, I’m giving the farm a B+. And the core team that we’ll have in place in for 2011 and 2012 looks really good on paper as well.

In truth, I’m probably not a true 10, but I’m definitely above a 9, and there’s no 9.5.

Been ridin’ an 8 for a while now. Since we took 2/3 from the team that, at the time, had the best record in the majors and then swept a team that, on paper, we’re suppose to sweep… yeah, I had to take it up to a 9 this week. I love this team. A lot.

We just beat up on one of the best teams in the AL (Rays) and everyone always brags how much better the AL east is compared to every other league. We took their best and won. I wish we played the mutts this week so we could put them where they belong in the division about 4th. I’m tired of running into mets fans that think they actually have a good team cause they managed to sweep two awful teams.

Sorry to rant, but its been on my mind.

Great bullpen, great rotation, an offense that performs in the clutch, great arms in the minors. Compared to last year I couldn’t be happier with the team.

So, 10.

My first of the season.
