Team without a country 2, Team without enough hits 1

So sure… there’s a pandemic, baseball is attempting a shambolic 60 game season, Albies and Adams are on the IL and Mike Soroka has a torn Achilles tendon, but why not look on the bright side? And there’s always a bright side – the Braves enter the game 8-4 which, if they keep it up or even falter a bit in the next 48, will be plenty good enough to enter the Pandemic Crapshoot. This season already has the shakiest performance by a starting pitcher in baseball history that yielded no runs. So, as Midge Maisel says, “Tits up!” When the remains of civilization are dug up by the Insect Invaders from Planet Gsksdfjskdf in the year 36,456, nobody is going to remember that 2020 was a bastardized season. The WS Trophy will look identical as they pore over it with their proboscides (and be honest: how many of you knew that was the plural form of proboscis?) and the name Atlanta Braves will shine just as brightly as any other.
