The Braves are about to score the 100,000th run in franchise history, becoming the second MLB franchise to do (following the Cubs who got there in July 2019).
Entering the 2021 season, the Braves had scored 99,305 (FanGraphs) or 99,322 (Baseball Reference) runs since 1871, leaving either 695 or 678 runs to reach 100,000.
Through the Labor Day off-day, the Braves have scored 663 runs this season, meaning they’re just 15 runs from 100,000 over at Baseball Reference.
If only it were that simple.
The four runs the Braves scored in their second July 21st game against the Padres before it was suspended are already included in the running total at FanGraphs, so according to them the Braves have scored 667 runs this season.
