"The Braves have definitely entered into what even they consider to be the "playing out the string" portion of the season, with reliever and other tactical choices that feel less like a team trying to even play spoiler and more just one that wants to get things over with as quickly as possible. In recent years, the Braves have given their fans (the tournament-inclined ones, anyway)"
"something akin to rising action and then a climax with the postseason, but there's nothing like that set for them in 2025. As a result, the question is less, "When will it end?" but, "What will you do once it does?" I suppose for some, and to some extent, for me, things are already over. I haven't had the luxury to watch most games without multitasking for years now,"
The Braves have moved into a 'playing out the string' phase of the season, making reliever and tactical choices that signal resignation rather than competitive intent. Recent seasons produced postseason build-up and a climax, but no similar opportunity exists for 2025. The practical question shifts from when the season ends to what fans will do afterward. Many fans have already disengaged, lacking time or incentive to watch full games. Substituted pitching decisions, like asking John Brebbia to throw extra innings, reduce reasons to tune in. Fans face choosing alternative activities once live Braves games are no longer realistically meaningful.
