a rough stretch

Not much to complain about. A 1-6 week weighs heavy on the score. Also weighing on the score: the bats at 2.4 R/G are the biggest drag right now.

Braves News

Despite sitting atop the division with a solid 49-32 record, the Atlanta Braves are struggling to find their footing, suffering another frustrating loss to the San Francisco Giants, this time 0-5. Chris Sale showcased his talent on the mound, but the Braves' offense and defensive blunders overshadowed his strong performance, leaving fans wondering when the bats will wake up from their slumber. Over the last week, the team has stumbled to a 2-5 record with a concerning run differential of -12, raising eyebrows about their reliance on a shaky bullpen instead of addressing the issues with their starting pitchers. On the brighter side, there's hope on the horizon with AJ Smith-Shawver's impending rehab start in Single-A, signaling that reinforcements may come just in time to stabilize a wobbly roster.
