"It was widely predicted that this season's team would have been a Postseason contender bare minimum, with some outlets even saying that this team was a World Series contender. Instead, the team came out of the gates with a dreadful 0-7 start out West against the Padres and Dodgers while losing Reynaldo López for the season and Jurickson Profar for 80 games due to a PED suspension."
"The hope back then was that this would be a blip and for a while, the Braves scratched and clawed their way to a game over .500 at the end of action on May 18. Atlanta stayed over .500 for exactly one day and they never saw those lofty heights again for the rest of the season, as the 0-7 start with two key players being missing for the long term ended up being an omen rather than a blip. After going"
The Atlanta Braves posted seven consecutive winning seasons from 2018 through 2024, including six NL East titles and the 2021 World Series championship. The 2025 team recorded its 82nd loss in game 147, confirming the first losing season since 2017. Preseason expectations had projected at least a postseason berth and even a World Series run. The club began 0-7 on a West Coast trip while losing Reynaldo López for the season and Jurickson Profar for 80 games due to a PED suspension. A brief return above .500 on May 18 lasted one day and the early setbacks became an omen.
