That’s an average of 10 runs per game for the Braves at home against the Rockies, folks. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the Braves flat out dominate a team like that in a four-game set. None of the games were particularly close, despite the Rockies scoring six runs in the final game.Continue reading “The Braves just scored 40 runs in four days”
