Well the Braves finally lost a series, losing a 3-game series to the Mariners in Seattle, with a one-run loss and a two-run loss. It is pretty impressive that this far in the season, it took a lot to go wrong for them to lose a series by two small-margin losses like this. On Monday, of course, the pitching depth was essentially non-existant, resulting in JR Ritchie being left in the game too long and today the Braves might have had a better shot at coming back if it weren’t for some really egregious
baserunning from Jorge Mateo. This is a good team folks and let’s hope for a good showing against that scary Dodgers team this weekend.
