Title: Question About the Atlanta Braves
Post by: Marshal Dillon on April 02, 2011, 10:39:09 PM
Can someone please tell me why the Braves continue ot have problems with the worst team in the National League? They were 6-12 in 2009 and 8-10 last year in the series against them.

It's early. They haven't put it all together yet. I think they'll hit their stride at the right time.

The Braves lost 12 games to the Nats in 2009 and the Nats won a total of 59 games that year. That means that 20% of their victories were against the Braves. Basically, that kept the Braves from making the playoffs that year.

Well one thing this year the Nats are not new. They have built some good players in place now, so they are going to be tough this year for a lot of teams. RTR!

Unfortunately, the 5th starter Jurgens is on the DL, now. They have called up Mike Minor, one of the Top 50 prospects in all of the minors. He's 6'3" 200 LHP, age 23, who throws a 94 mph fastball. Finding a left- handed fastballer ain't easy. I hope he lives up to the hype.

I hope our starting pitchers can all get hot and last 7-9 innings before relying on the bullpen.

As long as I can remember, MD, the Braves have had problems with the Nationals/Expos. Even during the pennant streak they always seemed to bite Atlanta in the butt.

Well Milwaukee just jumped out to a lead. Atlanta seems to be playing from behind a lot. RTR!
