"Using a couple of different methodologies, True2Atlanta and I noted that there have only been four-ish games where the Braves weren't competitive. I did a method that used average leverage throughout the game, and found that about 40 percent of games this season have been below-average in competitiveness basically all the way through, but 80 percent of those were Braves wins/dominations."
"Second, Sunday's game was the first time this season I missed a few innings. I did it "deliberately," in the sense that the Braves had a big lead and I surmised I wouldn't miss anything at all if I went to deal with "you've recently been in a car wreck" stuff."
"Yesterday's game, well... there wasn't really any reason to watch the horror show descend on Bummer and company. Anyway, was last night rock bottom in terms of single-game dismantling of the Braves, or are we somehow going to be in for even worse somewhere in the 100ish remaining games of the season?"
A recap exchange focused on non-competitive games and how often the Braves fail to be competitive. One analysis using average leverage found about 40% of games were below-average in competitiveness throughout, and about 80% of those were Braves wins or domination. Another point came from missing innings during a game with a large Braves lead, assuming nothing important would be missed. A later game provided little reason to watch as the Braves’ performance deteriorated quickly. The question raised is whether the worst single-game dismantling has already happened or whether even worse outcomes could occur in the remaining games of the season.
