"We kicked off with a 7-game losing streak. Then three starting pitchers went down in five days. There was the 6-run blown lead in the ninth versus the Diamondbacks. That kicked off a run where the Braves had no idea how to close a game for about two weeks. The Braves have suffered nine games where they have lost by more than eight runs. And other games the deficit wasn't nearly that large, but it felt that way."
"This is where I would embed a video from Reddit but the CMS or Reddit won't let me. Enjoy Wiley Ballard eating a hot dog. The TV crew has done an excellent job keeping people engaged and interested. For some people, maybe a little too interested. Any time the Braves were getting killed, especially at home, the game becomes make Wiley Ballard eat something stupid. Or make Wiley hit on Canadian ladies."
The Braves experienced a chaotic season marked by a seven-game losing streak, three starting pitchers injured within five days, a blown six-run ninth-inning lead versus the Diamondbacks, a prolonged inability to close games, and nine losses by more than eight runs. Fans endured many demoralizing defeats that felt larger than the scorelines. Broadcast crews created alternative entertainment during blowouts, notably prompting Wiley Ballard to perform eating and flirting bits to keep viewers engaged. With the team eliminated, focus shifted toward offseason activities and personal pursuits, including experimentation with cooking salmon and learning fish preparation techniques.
