last night's loss

Room to grow, but the floor is solid. A 6-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. Compounding things, a 2-5 week. That's the biggest factor right now.

Braves News

The Atlanta Braves put on an offensive show last night, scoring five runs for the second consecutive game, but the optimism is tempered by a troubling 2-5 stretch over the past week. Hurston Waldrep made a strong return as a starter, showcasing his potential despite a few hiccups, but questions loom over the bullpen after they faltered in previous outings. The team remains in first place in the National League East with a solid 50-34 record, yet the trade deadline is fast approaching, and the Braves must address their needs in the infield, outfield, and pitching staff. Adding to the mix, Rowdy Tellez was designated for assignment, making room for Jim Jarvis on the roster. The Braves desperately need to build momentum against the Cardinals again soon if they hope to shake off the recent slump.
