Saw a few updates on Braves twitter today showing catcher Flowers returns from injury to the lineup, Acuna moves up a spot to 5th in the batting order, & pitcher Gohara returns from rehab to Triple-A.

Yep, nice win. Reckon today's game will decide who takes over 2nd place.
Good seeing Braves with a winning record for April.

1.5 games out of first. Looking good Bravo's!
Markakis may be the most well rounded player in the majors right now. Maybe. He is a BEAST at the plate.

FYI-The young man that caught the homerun ball the other day is Killdee's great nephew

Ozzie ran into one on the 1st pitch of the game for 9th homerun of the season. This kid is something else!

I think that he was a big influence on getting rid of Simmons. I also think he ends up at short and is a baller of ballers.
He and Dansby played together in Mississippi and are both beasts'. The farm system is working again.

Fine way to end the month with a series win which includes 10-runs & 11-hits.
Gotta like lots of good things happening with the Braves lately.

If I remember right, the Braves lost only one series in April and split two (one split has a game to make up in May.) And the one series they lost was to Washington in DC.

That’s right only series loss was opening weekend.
That bought out the lumber today and smacked the phils around. Today they had 6 doubles, 1 triple and 2 HRS.
Bravos lead majors in runs scored.

According to the Braves web calendar, yes the only series loss was the 2nd one with the Nationals on their turf up there April 9-11. 2 Sunday games on April 15 & 22 are rescheduled for May 14 & 28 due to weather, 1st one is a split series & 2nd one Braves lead 2-1 until makeup games are played. The 3rd series split was @ Reds. Braves have won 5-series. Lots of other teams have makeup games due to weather.
https://www.mlb.com/braves/schedule/2018-04
April 15 @ Cubs: Postponed: Inclement Weather. Makeup on May 14
April 22 vs. Mets: Postponed: Rain. Makeup on May 28
