Atlanta Braves 2015 — Baseball in a Jugular Vein

They are a much more entertaining team this way.

@ESPNStatsInfo
Shelby Miller: winless in 21 consecutive starts; 2nd longest single-season streak since 1920. Matt Keough had 23 in 1979 (via @EliasSports)

Miller's ERA is roughly half that of the 13-4 Drew Hutchison. WINS!

But does this shut the mouth of Joe Simpson, Advanced Metrics Hater? NOOOOOOOO

@based_ball
longest winless streaks this year

1. Shelby Miller, 23 starts
2. three players tied, 10 starts

shelby in wins: 5-0, 1.29
shelby in losses: 0-15, 4.30

he's been shelled in september, so the splits were once even more absurd. interstingly, his strikeout rate his significantly higher in losses

He's chewing gum right now, but I noticed last night and earlier tonight that Cameron Maybin fell off the no-tobacco wagon. It's tough.

Freeman's left the game, looks like the wrist again. Between his obliques and his wrists, I'm beginning to think he just won't be able to withstand the torque of his own swing.

Anybody who's ever driven the 285 loop knows this stadium has the potential to be one of the biggest fuckups in the history of sports venues.

fuck the braves and fuck cobb county but it kind of seems like $9m should cover a pedestrian footbridge? so it goes #freedom

IANAEconomist but isn't the theoretical justification for taxpayer-funded stadiums that they stimulate the local economy? who is supposed to benefit from a stadium in the middle of suburbia besides the team itself? a nearby olive garden??
