On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Braves series preview
I’m thinking of a baseball team. A 2022 baseball team.
It’s won a game in a double-digit blowout, but also lost a series at home to a bad ballclub and hasn’t had much luck with the good teams, either. A stalwart starting pitcher is off to a bad start and a couple of hitters expected to be strong have OPS numbers under .600.
Oh, wait. You thought I was talking about the Cubs. All of that describes the 2022 Atlanta Braves, who enter this series with a record a half-game worse than the Chicago Cubs.
It just goes to show you: It’s early. Lots can still happen in the 2022 season.
