There's a lot to argue about regarding baseball, but one thing is unarguable, the NL is much stronger than the AL this season.

Agree.

Just an idea, but offer Story to Atlanta right now for Bummer

Maybe they’ve already offered Story to Atlanta.  Rumors about that move have been floating around for months…

[moonslav59]

Could Story be writing a new chapter?

The plot thickens.

I thought crochet was amazing today! I do not think he had his best stuff, but he worked through it and gave us seven innings.

Crochet has been skating on thin ice so far. 

He didn't have his best command, yet managed to get through 7 innings of 1-run ball.  That's an ace for you.

I love the comments by the Braves announcers about how Cora had to kick Crochet out of his house after a team get together because Crochet (last one to leave) just wanted to stay and talk baseball with Cora.

Mayer and Wong have a $100 bet on who gets an RBI first.  

Marcelo, like Campbell, getting an education in the cities of the nation regarding the exact difference between AAA and MLB.

I know we have to be patient with him, but I have not been impressed with Marcelo at all.  Show me what all the fuss is about.

The Braves are the Red Sox of the National League.
