Braves swept the Cardinals in St. Louis to improve to 5-1 on the young season.

Wrapping Up Atlanta’s Series in St. Louis

Three games on the road versus a playoff team. A 5-1 start to the season is always a good thing. Not to take the shine off a great series, but it sure looked as if Cardinals players have quit on manager Oliver Marmol. Marmol publicly called out Tyler O’Neill’s hustle in game two and benched […]

Kyle Finnegan Must Be Replaced

Wednesday night got off to a rough start as Chad Kuhl served up three runs in the top of the first, and it seemed like another one of those days where the Nats would go down big early and be dominated throughout, just like Monday night. Surprisingly the bats woke up today and had the […]

Wrapping Up the Braves’ First Series

The first couple of series of a season are always a crapshoot. Eventual World Series Champs have been swept, and last-place teams often surprise with a series win. Often, the weather in many cities is awful, pitchers are typically on a pitch count, and batters still don’t have their timing down. Rookies are a bundle […]

Picks of the Day, 4/2

Good thing it’s a marathon, not a sprint…. Here’s my Sunday’s best: Pick #1 Orioles @ Redsox 1:10pm, Total Runs Over […]

Nationals’ Pitching Struggles; Braves win Opening Series

After a 12-12-2 spring training record, Nationals fans had a bit of optimism going into the 2023 season. However, that has not been the case after the Nationals fell to the Atlanta Braves 7-2 on March 30th and 7-1 on April 1st. Some would say Nationals fans are furious over the first two games of […]
