Braves Series in Review: Royals

What a great response to a lackluster San Diego series…complete domination of two bad teams and a six-game win streak to push the record to 12-4, the second-best record in MLB. The next three weeks are the true test of what this team is: Three games in San Diego, three at home vs. the Astros, […]

Braves series in review: Reds
- Jim

It seems like 5 minutes ago that the Braves were really from 3 straight losses to Padres. Sitting at 6-4, losing 3, and losing some key players to injury, Monday didn’t feel great. Then the Reds came to town…All three games were one-run wins, but it certainly didn’t feel like it. Even trailing late in […]

Wrapping Up the Braves’ First Series
- Jim
- April 3, 2023
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 […]
