The Rockies definitely had the Braves for the first seven innings. Ah but in the last three games, the leading team didn’t finish the job. Michael Harris II was headed for the Injured List as well, don’t you know. Then, he came on to pinch hit.
Yup, pretty standard Braves heroics at the end. Here Michael Harris is again with a go-ahead pinch-hit double in the sixth inning on April 24th.
Here are the Braves scoring four in the seventh of a tie game.
Here’s Michael Harris hitting two home runs after being
down 4-1 after one inning. The Braves went single, single, walk, single, double to grab three runs and a 4-2 win in April 19th and on and on.
This team is scoring runs, y’all. They’re third in homers, fourth in xwOBA, fourth in wRC+, and for the most part aren’t making dumb mistakes. We probably shouldn’t turn our back on them after they give up six runs in Denver. You could talk me into closing the door on Grant Holmes as a starting pitcher, but not this offense.
