Centerfield First Round Pick

I know I'm probably jinxing things, but I find it almost inconceivable that Atlanta is 21st in runs scored. They've scored one less run than Washington.



Their runs scored by month show a hot start, but they've been bad for nearly 3 months now.



March: 6th in runs scored

April: 11th

May: 28th

June: 21st

July: 22nd



Their pitching is still awesome. 3rd in ERA. Their pen is especially good. (2nd overall with a 2.95 ERA).



We see their top three starters this series. So it's gonna be a hell of an upgrade after facing that Yankee scrub last night.

I'll reprint my quickie Braves KTE here from the Braves thread:



Braves coming to town for a four game set but, a bit like the Yanx, they're not quite the team we've come to know in recent years.

Still a decent nine games over .500 but they're five games under since posting their 26-13 high water mark in the middle of May.

Injuries have been the biggest culprit — currently three position starters plus two rotation starters — but also some of their guys simply

aren't hitting up to their usual standards.

On the IL: 2B Ozzie Albies, CF Michael Harris, LHP Max Fried, RHP, Spencer Strider, RF Ronald Acuna, plus an assortment of relievers.



But in addition to the injuries ....

* 1B Matt Olson is hitting for a 688 OPS w/13 HRs [993 / 54 last year]

* SS Orlando Arcia: 577 OPS after 741 in '23

* 3B Austin Riley (currently on paternity leave but should be back by Game 1 or 2): is down 100 OPS pts from his three straight top-10 MVP years

* C Sean Murphy (who missed two months early): 844 to 643

* Only Marcel Ozuna is having a career season: .311/.386/.594 w/28 HRs



So for now, Jerred Kelenic is playing everyday and in CF

They've re-acquired Eddie Rosario for LF and Adam Duvall for RF, and are using brief NYM Zack Short at 2B







Addendum:

Ignacio 'Nacho' Alvarez Jr. made his ML debut this week going 1 for 9 in two games while playing both 2B & 3B.

He's 21 y/o, a 2022 5th round pick out of a California JuCo who played rookie ball and high-A in '22. This season he

rocketed through AA in two months and AAA in a month and a half [.336/.432/.575] because ... because of course he did.

This is what Braves prospects do. Even the ones who aren't from super-premium draft positions.

I figured that Nimmo was just being pulled last night on account of the big lead, but that really is the B outfield group out there.

Butto is matching Sale, punch for punch.



I don't know who is impressing me more — him or Darling, who keeps predicting what his next pitch will be.
