a rough stretch

Ticking along. Winning just 2 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down. On top of that, the bats at 2.6 R/G this week. That's not getting it done.

Braves News

The Atlanta Braves' offense continues to sputter, as evidenced by their recent 1-0 loss to the San Diego Padres, extending their losing streak to two games. After leading the league in runs scored earlier in the season, the Braves have seen their productivity plummet, with the team struggling to generate consistent offense during a rough stretch. Grant Holmes had a rough outing, further complicating the pitching dynamic. Despite these challenges, Mauricio Dubón has emerged as a bright spot, proving his worth since being acquired from Houston. With the Braves still sitting atop the NL East at 48-28, there's a sense that a turnaround is coming, but it needs to happen soon. The return of a potent offense is critical if they want to fend off competition and maintain their division lead.
