Baseball is back, the Braves are back, and it’s time for them to make hay, or lemons, or engage in some other food-related metaphor. Why? Because they’re running out of time, and healthy above-average players, to do much of anything at all. Tonight, the Rays come to town, so the Braves have a tough task ahead of them. But, they haven’t particularly succeeded at the easy tasks placed in front of them this season either, so success or failure might really be up to them moreso than their opposition.
Tonight’s matchup, in particular, features a hint of intrigue: Charlie Morton is facing his most recent former team, with whom he journeyed to the World Series last season.
