Atlanta Braves News

Phillies then Mets coming up next, the offense looks to be in stride throughout the line-up, but then we have the bullpen that made the lowly Reds look like the Bronyx Bombers ...
Not sure if Snitker left Newcomb in too long yesterday because he was afraid to tap the bullpen too early, but the 3-run homer was a shot to the gut.
I fully expected the flood gates to open after that but Sam Freeman did a nice job ... maybe it's a turning point for the bullpen ??

Ronald Acuna the way he's hitting is looking like a young Willie Mays
