Most blame injuries for the Braves’ poor 2024 position

Most blame injuries for the Braves’ poor 2024 position

Well, there was a thread where some people voted on the biggest reason the Braves might miss the (extended, overblown) postseason in 2024, and it turns out the most votes went to the expected category — injuries.

This, of course, isn’t particularly surprising—perhaps the more surprising part is that “wounds” only received 65 percent of the vote. After all, you can sketch it yourself: take the War Lost from Injuries versus the War Lost from Poor Performance and do a limit analysis of the earnings lost from managerial decisions, and injuries will walk away with the “prize” in that regard. a kind of analysis. The Braves pretty much had their projected top position player and pitcher at the start of the season, and one was lost after two starts while another missed two months. Yes, there was a clear choice here.

Either way, the Braves will try to make it moot by effectively making the playoffs with five games remaining.
