On Monday, the Braves offense continued to roll as it has been during its recent 10-day hot streak. However, the bigger news was the continued struggles of Spencer Strider, who was rocked by the Chicago White Sox in a 13-9 loss on Monday.
Strider is currently going through the worst stretch of his career, adding too what has been a season of struggles since he returned from being out of action for nearly a year.As always, Strider was open and honest about his performance, knowing that the results
were not acceptable. It will be interesting to see how the Braves will handle Strider moving forward. Without a doubt, Strider, more than anyone, will continue to work through the struggles in hopes of ending the season on a good note before looking to get things right in the offseason.
