The View From Second
It's been a rough couple of weeks for the Braves. They have now fallen to second place in the National League East. I still have my eyes on the final 2 weeks of the season when the Braves play the Phillies 6 times, however, if the Braves go into those games down by 2 or 3 games, I don't like our chances. We need to head into that final stretch tied or ahead. The pitching has failed the Braves during their shaky last couple of weeks and the offense has gone quiet when the pitching does show up. If both sides could get on the same page, I think they could string some wins together. I'm watching all of this with a little bit of anxiety.
