It's costing them this season. Seems like since the early 2000's the Braves have become very reactionary in their moves.

Braves take game 1 vs Cleveland. Sale with a good start and Ozzie had two hits in his return.

Johnson just struck out the side in the bottom of the 7th. He threw 18 pitches, 17 of which were curveball.

Yep...thankful to get away from the West Coast...bad week of baseball. Glad the Ags salvaged Game 3!

I know, I know… cool story, brah… but
The family and I went to Braves Fanfest at Truist in January. I won the kiddos bobbleheads by hitting 2 wedges closer to the pin at virtual golf Topgolf than Kerr. He was a super nice guy, but I hope he pitches a hell of a lot better than he golfs.

His numbers in AAA show he had been quite unlucky as his xFIP is a good bit lower than his ERA and FIP. Matzek has struggled so maybe he isn't really healthy.

Ozuna with two HRs and Arcia with one as the Braves shut out the Red Sox. Kerr pitched the 9th.

It's good to be back on track. The Phillies look strong, it'll be tough to win the division this season…

Fun game to watch today.
Lost the combined no no with 2 is in the 9
Still got the W though

Bounce back win tonight vs the Cubs. Lopez with another strong start. Minter got the save this time after blowing it vs the Mets.

Happy to see Snit throw Minter back out there! He made it interesting in the 9th, but a huge double play helped!

Another shut out for the Braves, 7-0. Harris and Olson went deep. Sale with 7 shutout innings.
9:00p, 5/14/24
Olson starting to get it figured out, which is great news.
Now if only Acuña could do the same.

Morton didn't have a good start and the offense didn't do much either. Still a series win.

Good article on how well the offseason pitching additions have played so far.
