Braves newcomer Ha-Seong Kim breaks year-long curse with moonshot in historic Wrigley Field originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Atlanta Braves haven’t had the season anyone expected. Plagued by injuries and inconsistent play, the team has struggled to find its rhythm. While slumps are a normal part of any season, for Atlanta, it felt like the entire roster went cold from June through August. Now, with the final month of the season underway, it’s expected to be Brian Snitker’s last as Braves manager.
“Because of that consistent recent success, Snit would normally be afforded a ‘mulligan’ year—even though going from the second-best preseason World Series odds to possibly the third-best odds of winning the draft lottery is a pretty serious mulligan,” Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller wrote.
