The opening weekend to the season was eye-opening for the Atlanta Braves… perhaps a ‘deer-in-the-headlights’ level of eye-opening. They were swept by the Phillies in a fashion that made many of us draw a quick breath.
It was that weekend that had many of us demanding change: change to the bullpen, changes to the lineup… and essentially demands that favorite punching bag Luke Jackson never come near a baseball ever again (I won’t cite the links… this is a family show we run here).
I won’t say that all is now right with the world of the Atlanta Braves as this point, but I will point out that they are now tied for 1st place.
