Warm

a rough stretch

The foundation feels stable. Going 1-6 lately. That drags everything down. Pair that with 2.3 R/G this week. Hard to climb with that kind of production.

Braves News

The Atlanta Braves' struggles reached a new low as they finished June with a disappointing 1-6 record, capped by a 5-3 loss to the Cardinals that underlined their offensive woes, scoring just 2.4 runs per game over the last week. Martín Pérez, who has been a bright spot with a 3.00 ERA this season, saw his home success falter in the face of this skid, raising concerns about the team's pitching depth. Meanwhile, the return of AJ Smith-Shawver from Tommy John surgery offers a glimmer of hope, but the absence of reliever James Karinchak from the mound adds to the frustration. With the Braves sitting atop the division at 49-33, the pressure is mounting to turn things around, especially with the Cardinals coming to town.

Walk, don’t run: Braves end June with another loss, 5-3

There’s a baseball saying you may have heard: “you can’t walk off the island.” While it generally pertains to MLB’s international free agency system in reference to the Caribbean, the Braves lived their own version of it tonight in a 5-3 loss to the Cardinals: maybe some teams can walk their way to a win, […]

You can’t really end June on a particularly high note if you’re the Braves, given the standard you’ve set… but a win’s better than not a win and a loss would, once again, suck.
