Atlanta Braves Fan Confidence Poll

…Yeah, I’ve actually got nothin’ this week. Go Braves.

…From each week, while I see this poll each week, I can’t ever locate the confidence levels in graph form to see how they ebb and flow.

Where is this located?

Entering the Florida series, I opined that the club REALLY needed to do some damage against the Marlins and the Astros – as both clubs have been flailing. That has certainly happened, as the record since then is going to be at LEAST 6-1 as the road trip ends tonight. 7-3 on any road trip is outstanding… and it could end up 8-2.

My vote has been teetering between 7 and 8 for some time now. Last week I dropped to the ‘7’ after the draft, as it wasn’t clear what was really going on there (not blaming the pick positions – that came because of playoff success… and Soriano). Between mellowing out a bit on that this week and with the offense coming back to some life this weekend, I’m pushed over to a low ‘8’ again.

Feeling warm and fuzzy this week, especially after winning 6 in a row. Pitching has been pretty darn good, minus a BS by Kimbrel. Good to see Uggla making some good swings and producing, lets hope it continues. I have been voting 7 for a while now, but would like to stay above 8 for the rest of the season. It all depends on if they can continue this current level of play or not. The last win streak we had was followed by a streak of poor play, but I think things are starting to click now.

because the offense seems to be turning the corner, and I’m psyched about how well our super-subs (Young, Schafer, et al) have stepped in and given us a boost.

Still weary on Uggla, though. He needs to step up, and soon.

Not sold until the offense performs against decent opposition, but you can’t argue with the WINZ. Watching this team day in and day out, it’s hard to believe they’re one of the best teams in the league with all the extra innings and close games, but the record doesn’t lie. Our boys just keep finding ways to squeek out wins and stay in the race.

Uggla really looks to have figured something out… and as the pitching almost seems to be getting better from it’s already amazing performance the sky is becoming the limit

This is a playoff team this year. Heyward and Freeman are going to get better. Teheran, Minor, Delgado, and Vizcaino are coming up the pipeline. Venters and Kimbrel are the best 8-9 duo in the game.

It’s all good now, and it’s getting better.

It’s amazing what a six-game winning streak can do to fan confidence.

The pitching top to bottom is outstanding….Gonzo has been played exceptional defense and Freeman has shown himself to be an everyday Major Leaguer.

Yep, I’m feeling a bit cocky. I think that this is a competitive team that can go far. I’m also pleased with the surge of confidence and recent revelations at the plate, as well as the assumed reappearance of Dan Uggla. It’s gonna be a good summer.

Down from a ten. The reason is strictly because I am losing confidence in Fredi Gonzales as a high quality manager. I think we often win in spite, rather than because of him. An example would be two games ago failing to make a double switch when putting in a pinch hitter, when the situation called for it. It is a lot of subtle things, but those type of things indicate a lack of attention to detail that can have negative consequences.

This does not mean that i don’t think our Bravos will not make the playoffs, because I most certianly do!

I’ve been at 9 all season. Nothing’s changed.

Negative 27 until Prado is healthy.

Still worried about the offense until Heyward and Prado are back (and until Uggla’s return to form is confirmed).

Will become a nine in August or September if they can get healthy and continue to play well.
