With the 2019 regular season more than three-quarters of the way in the books, now seems as good of a time as any to take stock of exactly where the Braves, as a team and a collection of individuals, as well as baseball, really stand. Sure, the remaining 24 percent of the season can definitely torque things, moving full-season performances up or down, but some things have moved from “speculative” to “likely,” while others have gone from “hahaha what” to “huh, I guess that happened.”
In any case, consider this a chance to absolve yourself of your past mistaken beliefs by airing them out in public.
