The vibes were positive for once in and around Braves Country as the Atlanta Braves entered this four-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies. After all, Atlanta had just gotten done bombing the Marlins over the course of two days and while scoring a big bushel of runs. However, the difficulty level was always going to spike going from the Marlins to the Phillies and in unsurprising fashion, this series went a whole lot differently than the one in Miami did.
The first game in particular was pretty discouraging, as the Braves once again made history in a way that you don’t want to make history.
