After a couple of disappointing losses to the Dbacks, the Braves have won three straight games with two excellent performances by the offense and one dominating start from Max Fried. Dansby Swanson has been burning hot over the last few weeks, and several others are contributing greatly as well. Michael Harris has also provided a spark, especially defensively. We discuss why Snitker continues to trot Marcel Ozuna out to the outfield and what to do about Adam Duvall. Ultimately, the Braves have an opportunity to go on a run and finally gain some momentum. #braves #gobrave #atlantabraves #dansby

After two months of horrendous outfield play, the Braves promote top prospect Michael Harris. With Harris in centerfield and Acuna coming back (hopefully), the outlook of the Braves outfield looks much better. But just how bad had the Braves outfield been? Why Harris over other top prospect Drew Waters? And Why promote Harris now?

The Braves continue to trade good wins with disappointing losses. When will they put together a winning streak and find some traction? There are some encouraging developments. Charlie Morton just had his best start and the supporting cast is playing well. Once the top of the lineup starts hitting, the Braves could be poised to take off. The sooner the better.

The start of this season has looked eerily similar to last season. Sure the Braves won it all last year, but that doesn't mean they can flirt with mediocrity for half the season again and expect to win their division. What is the problem right now? The starting staff is starting to right itself, but the offense has been the weakest link. I dive into the number and diagnose the problem.

Ronald Acuna returns and hope abounds as the Braves start to look better on the field. Unfortunately Eddie Rosario is out 8-12 weeks with eye issues. But meanwhile Travis Dermeritte provides a spark, including a home run never went over the fence. So, we take some time to get to know Travis. Fried and Wright continue to be very, very good. And finally, should we be concerned about Adam Duvall? Will he bounce back offensively?

In the middle of the Braves offensive struggles, Max Fried and Kyle Wright throw two gems. Meanwhile, the Braves visit the Dodgers, try to process Freddie Freeman in a different uniform, and finish their first road trip 3-4. As they return to the ATL to take on the Marlins, will the offense come to life? I sure hope so.

The Braves get blown out in game 1 of the series with the Padres. Then they bounced back with two solid wins behind Kyle Wright and Ian Anderson, only for the bats to go silent in the final game of the series. With the Dodgers up next, will the bottom of the order finally remember how to hit? And will Fried and Morton gain some consistency? And when does Acuna come back? It couldn't be soon enough.

The Braves have sputtered to a 3-4 start to the season. Kyle Wright and Bryce Elder impress on the mound, while Ian Anderson and Huscar Ynoa struggle. Meanwhile, Ozuna, Olsen, Riley, and Darnaud carry the offense while the rest of the team can't get going. After a disappointing opening homestand, the Braves look to put their 2021 championship behind them and focus on the 2022 season. The upcoming road trip out west may tell us a lot about the team.

Austin Riley and Matt Olsen get off to very nice starts. Charlie Morton looks solid while most of the rest of the pitching staff is still trying to find their groove. Dansby Swanson strikes out a lot, and Marcel Ozuna has some adventures in the outfield. Meanwhile it seems like every Brave except Austin Riley has warning track power. I discuss all of the important events from the first two games of the season, and address the Acuna-Freeman quasi-controversy.

With only a day left in the offseason, I breakdown the NL East. How do the Braves stack up against the rest of the division? Do they have the best rotation, bullpen, lineup, defense? Which teams will outperform their projections and which will disappoint? How many games can the Braves win and will they repeat? I cover it all as we get ready for the 2022 season. Let's go!
