If a I had access to it, I expect the Braves' offense would be entertaining to watch like their 8-run 5th-inning in their high scoring close win to take the 4-game series. Glad having the Atlanta offense cranking.



The game started after a 1 hour & 26 minute rain delay.


Braves scored eight runs in the fifth inning tonight, their highest-scoring frame since April 19, 2011 vs. the Dodgers.

Braves also had nine hits in the fifth inning tonight, the most for an inning since April 7, 2004 vs. the Mets.


N. Markakis ATL - RF, 4-5, HR, 3 RBI

1st - Markakis homered to right center (401 feet), Inciarte scored.

4th - M. Adams homered to right (422 feet).

5th - Phillips homered to left (416 feet).

5th - L. Adams homered to left (408 feet), Suzuki and Swanson scored.

.@LA_Swiftness launches his first career homer and the #Braves are up 11-6!

.@LA_Swiftness became the first #Braves player to hit his first career home run as a pinch hitter since Joey ****oslavich on June 9, 2015.

.@LA_Swiftness' first homer in the bigs is currently on its way to the moon.

Bombs away! The new ball park is shaping up to be pretty friendly to the hitters, I like it!

Big City also has 31 rbi's in 31 games. Nice win last night, we are rollin'.

Interesting fine stat. Game radio announcers said the Braves have the most walk off wins in MLB this season.

Good stuff. A few games back, a Braves player hit an HR 342-ft. to left field & another hit an HR 342-ft. to right field, shorter than I thought.

June 21, 2017:

7th - Flowers homered to left (342 feet).

11th Kemp homered to right (342 feet), Markakis scored.




Good having Atlanta keep the winning streak alive at 3 while making progress toward an even 0.500 record trying to climb out of the hole, & beating the Central Division 1st place team in a close game.


Braves Win - Loss Summary:

Home = 19-19

Road = 16-19

Overall = 35-38



Nice having Phillips staying steady at scoring production.

1st - Phillips homered to left (394 feet).

No rain in the way for the Braves to collect their 4th win in a row.

Nice having Phillips on a roll with a HR in each of the last 3-games.

3rd - Phillips homered to left (390 feet), Inciarte scored.

Thanks Bornto, your pics and coverage are great.
Big Lefty Newcomb shut the Pods down and out yesterday, he is our future. Read where he is better than any Braves rookie lefty first 4 starts.
Bartolo gets the start against the JV squad known as the Padres, perfect timing for his injury to heal.....he may get rocked anyway.

He got rocked...

Newcomb should easily be 4-0 if the Braves had any offense at all in his starts. I know they didn't score a single run in his first 2 starts and I don't think they put any runs on the board in his third start either. At least not while he was in the game.

One game under .500, 2nd in the division and 7-1/2 games behind the Nats. Oh. And some Freeman guy is back in the lineup tonight...:cool:

A quick search couldn't find embed-able video, but hey, they had a good win against the Natinals last night. Sounds like Folty has taken a step forward with his game, which is good to see.

Johnson gets lit up for 3 and gives up the lead in the 9th.
Did not realize he is tied for MLB lead in blown saves, ouch.

Yes, last night was one of the most disappointing losses of the year. Now these guys will need to decide if they are going to let that loss define them as a team, or if they use it to motivate them.

If nothing else, this year is clearly showing what holes need to be plugged in order to become relevant again in the NL. IMO they need, in order, a #1 and #2 starter, mostly an entire bullpen, and a couple of fielding upgrades. If we are to believe their "master plan" of stock piling pitchers, then the starting pitcher and bullpen issues should be resolved in another year or two. And with Albies continuing to grow and produce at age 20, and with a prudent trade or two, the fielding position upgrades could be resolved in the same time frame.

But waiting for 2019 - 2020 sure is tough, isn't it?
