Definitely a positive impact in the clubhouse & on the field while surprising how quick he's progressing getting back in his hitting groove during a career year for Dansby even though he missed 30 games during his injured absence. Hope he stays healthy.

I don't know if Markakis is going to make it back 100% this year or not. I hope so but I have my doubts. We need Inciarte too.

I believe they are good to go. Managed to win 8 in a row without Freeman, Albies and Acuna on their A game.

Still expected to be several weeks at least for Markakis & Inciarte.
Squeaking by & getting lucky in close games is too tense to deal with, but hoping for a soon return of Braves scoring bats that can string together hits for more runs.
Josh Donaldson & fans appear to be enjoying his return home to his previous team's home turf which hopefully gets him juiced for a fired up game.
Rough 1st-inning start for Braves.
Nats losing to Orioles 0-2 in top of 4th.
EDIT UPDATE ---> Nationals lose at home.
. . . . . . . AND . . .
Braves lose in Toronto.
Phillies lose at home.
Mets lose at home.

Offense has reverted to pre/2018. The combined plate characteristics of the guys on the DL can't be replaced from the farm/waivers. Thankfully we know the formula, and we can relinquish the blaming the front office: but this aint the year. Thank goodness for football

Tough close loss again. 1st-inning giving up 2-runs was still too much to overcome, unfortunately. Looking forward to Braves bats returning to cranking out runs hopefully soon.

Need a W badly to stop the 2 game skid.
Forgot how to score a run and pitching is the best it’s been all season

I would rather they go through the inevitable offensive slump in August than October...
I sure hope that bus that has the Braves bats on it gets to Toronto before the game starts tonight. Their offense the last two games has been O fer.

Atlanta on the road finally stayed in the same place the next day & hopefully got some rest from all their travels. Braves offense doing much better scoring 5 in the 2nd & 3 more in the 7th while hanging on to the lead so our chances for a W is improving over the last 2 low scoring games.
EDIT UPDATE . . .
Nice bounce back for a win & winning road trip record. Feels good to start scoring again finally & late innings bullpen efforts preventing opponent scoring. Good to have 4 players with 2-RBI's each & 4 players with more than 1-hit. Congrats to Joyce (.282 Avg.) with a 3-hit night & 2nd deck HR along with Freddie's 36th HR tying Acuna for team high. Acuna gets a 2-RBI hit to go with his 3-K's.
Nats & Phils win, too.

They need to get back up on the horse and stay there. Last night was a good win.

Braves need to make hay the next 5 games against bottom feeders White Sox and Toronto. Beginning next Thursday they play 14 straight games against the Nats and Phillies...a home and away series with both.
Then they finish up the season with series with the Giants, Royals and the Mets.
The Nats have a much harder finish to their schedule. Besides the 7 games with the Braves they also have series with two 1st place clubs (St Louis and the Twins), plus a series with Cleveland who has a better record than they do.

Welcome back.
Good. We need to bury them when we play them and cross our fingers the other teams do as well.
In the mean time the Bravos need to win these next 5 games and control their own destiny a little bit.

Nice Braves win with double digit scoring & hitting and some fine pitching with 11-K's for Fried for his 15th Win, except for giving up 4-runs in the 7th-inning & Swarzak still struggling in relief giving up 2-runs in the 9th.

What's up with the "Defensive Indifference"? Now is the time to be working on holding base runners so they can't steal. Swarzak needs to be sent back to Gwinnett and Flowers is the undisputed king of pass balls.
Other than that it was a good win.
Big question of the day - if Markakis and Inciarte make it back will they be at 100% when it counts?
