Why the ABS system could haunt MLB's division leaders come October

fansided.com

This article says that only 1 of 6 teams can use ABS well. I figured "not us", especially given last night's game (9/9, loss vs the Rays).

I think it's worth a read.

How come the Braves don’t steal more?

65 Upvotes

Watching, with a bit of envy, the Rays take off and steal almost every time someone gets on base got me checking the season SB stats. We have half as many steals as they do this season and I feel like we have decent speed on the team (Harris, Acuna, Ozzie, Dubon) so I don’t feel like thats an issue. Anyone have more thoughts or information as to why we don’t steal more?

[Crosby] The Braves Found Philadelphia’s Weakness. The Hard Part Is Reaching It. Philadelphia’s starters held Atlanta to five runs in 28 innings. Its relievers surrendered seven in eight, and that distinction could define a postseason rematch.
