The Atlanta Braves are experiencing significant offensive struggles, prompting calls for the firing of new hitting coach Tim Hyers. Despite experimenting with new strategies, the offense has not improved, resulting in diminished power hitting and underperformance from players like Michael Harris and Ozzie Albies. The team continues to lose games, even those where opportunities are presented. Furthermore, injury reports and MLB news regarding potential rule changes add to a challenging atmosphere for the Braves as they search for solutions.
It wasn't insane to try something new and the offense struggled at times last year, but I see no evidence that the new approach has helped.
Rookie of the year winner Michael Harris is an absolute catastrophe at the plate... primarily for the exact reason that the new approach is supposed to emphasize.
The Braves lost a game that the Diamondbacks tried desperately to let them win, as the offense struggled to score even when being handed a run.
It's pretty dire in Atlanta right now.
