How does Ronald not have a HR?

How does Ronald not have a HR?

yeah, it is a mystery. he is struggling at the plate, plus idiot pitchers keep hitting him

I mean it feels like every year to me.

Maybe other teams are struggling too I don't know but it feels like we haven't had a season in a long time where at least one MAJOR player didn't miss significant time.

Seems like Albies is good for one extended injury a year.

Going for the sweep today! Early start @ 1:10 cdt. I'd love to see them not wait until the 9th to score most of their runs but, whatever works.

Ozuna extends the streak with a bomb.

Ronald finally gets one! 2-1 Braves

Fried is not right this year. Seems to be another case of an injury ruining a career, he just hasn't been the same since coming back.

Astrus up 4-2 in the 7th. They'll put in Hader or Pressley, insuring the Braves win.

Braves living dangerously, but I'll take it.

The Astros flirted with Blake Snell pre-season. He would have been a fit here. His ERA is 12+

 

[TexasBama]

And Verlander will fit right in when he comes back this weekend. His last rehab start he gave up six runs in four innings.
I may start following the Houston Sabrecats rugby team. They’re 5-1.

Long season. Remember, the Braves didn't even reach .500 until late in the season a few years ago and won it all.

yeah, it is April and there is still about 140+ games left. It is only over for about 3 teams.

I feel like this should be our Franchise's Catchphrase.
