What happened

By this time last season, the Braves were in trouble.

Why it matters

They had opened 0-7 and learned that a key offseason addition, Jurickson Profar, would be lost for half a season after testing positive for a banned substance.

Common ground

The Braves fought to one game over .500 by mid-May, but the roots of injury and underperformance that had manifested immediately, persisted and their streak of seven straight playoff seasons ended.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
