I’m under the impression that this is our best starting lineup at this point in the season. The batting order could be rotated whenever, but I like this group of 9.

Huge news. We really need him back for the home stretch.

Well starting from behind early as usual with Elder on the mound. I swear that boy is on the spectrum..

Never forget the people who gave up on Michael Harris in his second season with the Braves

I was one of them, although last year was his fourth with the team. I am genuinely shocked at the season he is having. I've seen too many guys get off to torrid starts to their careers only to wash out quickly once pitchers find out they swing at anything in the area code (Francoeur and Javy Baez being the best examples).

Even in Harris’ worst slumps he was still one of the best two-way CF in the game.

Also, Elder is getting outpitched by one of our AAA guys.

Defense has always been there, but when he was literally the worst qualified hitter in baseball for over half of last season, I assumed pitchers had figured out how to exploit the lack of plate discipline like they did with Francoeur.

Think it's safe to say the Braves were expecting a little bit more out of Yaz when they signed him.

Between him, Thomas, Kim and Smith, no matter how we set our lineup, we are guaranteed at least one black hole in the lineup, maybe two… and that’s before we even get to Riley

Really, really bad AB by Olson.

3-0 and then gets three straight happy zone fastballs, only to do nothing with any of them

Elder is pretty lucky he has only given up 3. They've had baserunners on all night.

Heard a stat earlier today the Braves are 2-12 against the shitty Twins, Cardinals, and Giants this season. 80-43 against everyone else. Astounding.
