I have strong feelings about this that will be its own separate post at some point, probably this week. But, what do you think? We’re five-sixths-ish of the way done with the season on a calendar month basis, and the Braves are very good in terms of record… but the way they’ve gotten there has been somewhere between bizarre and absurd. It’s like getting the right answer on an algebra test by doing everything kinda wrong, in some ways… but not in others.
Would you describe this team as particularly weird? And if so, why?
