Luke Jackson’s redemption arc has come full circle
Luke Jackson was the most criticized player on all of the Braves teams from 2017-2020. He would routinely come into every game and immediately allow several runners to reach base. Sometimes he would get out of the jam, but there were times (like in 2020) where he didn’t do it. Jackson was frequently designatedContinue reading “Luke Jackson’s redemption arc has come full circle”
A closer look at the Braves offseason
It’s been an interesting offseason for the Braves, albeit a somewhat disappointing one. They’ve upgraded in a few areas, but it still feels like we’re a piece or two away from greatness. Honestly, it seems like we’re banking on returns to health from key players like Ronald Acuna, Jr. & Ozzie Albies, as wellContinue reading “A closer look at the Braves offseason”

Braves blueprint to win the NL East
Time will tell whether or not these Braves catch the Mets in the NL East division race. I’m still a believer in this team’s ability to catch the Mets & win our fifth straight division title. Not everyone feels that way, and it certainly won’t be easy, but I believe that this will happen.Continue reading “Braves blueprint to win the NL East“
The Atlanta Braves have hit rock bottom
We’ve been here before. Last year, our team didn’t even hit the .500 mark until August. This year, the team was hanging around .500 all season until a scorching hot month of June propelled us to within a half game of catching the Mets in the NL East division race at one point. ThoseContinue reading “The Atlanta Braves have hit rock bottom“

The MLB All-Star break provides opportunities for players to be recognized via the All Star Game & Home Run Derby, while also awarding rest for the players who do not participate.
