It truly is sensational how quickly this team has gotten back to .500. I think they will get healthy and love this come from behind mentality of this season. Closer? I just don’t know.

HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two) Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation) if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!
Wow! Braves are only the 5th team to reach .500 after starting 0-7. Since 1901, 30 teams have started 0-7, non have reached the playoffs...
so far.
so far.
Could Murphy be traded to plug holes before the trade deadline if the team looks to be in the hunt and Baldwin is playing well. I like Murphy when he's on the field, but he is injury prone.
Sensational rookie helps Braves go from 0-7 to .500 in near-record time
ATLANTA -- Now that we’ve passed the “Should Drake Baldwin remain in the Majors as a backup†phase, it’s time to focus on how the Braves will continue benefiting from his great offensive potential as frequently as possible. Baldwin delivered a key single, a double and a two-run homer inwww.mlb.com
But remember, we were 20-23 at this point in 2021, and we won the World Series!!!
In 1992, we were 19-24!
In 1992, we were 19-24!
That is a really good win against a good starting pitcher.
Red Sox tonight were the first team ever to face reigning cy young winners in back to back days.
To be fair, that has only been possible in recent years. Still impressive though.
At the risk of being "that" guy.....
It was theoretically possible:
1) Because there were THREE Cy Young winners in 1969 (the AL had a tie between Denny McLain and Mike Cuellar), it was doubly possible in 1970 if a team played Baltimore and Detroit back-to-back...until McLain was suspended for the first half of the season for bookmaking activities. It means a team would have had to play Detroit and Baltimore back-to-back. Most teams did this, but because McLain missed 1/2 the year, it never happened.
2) It could have happened again in 1988 as Frank Viola was traded to the Mets on July 31, and Orel Hershiser was still on the Dodgers. But none of the NL teams had those two opponents back-to-back.
But then came August 14, 1990.
On that day - for the first time ever - the previous year's Cy Young winner SAVED a game for the previous game's Cy Young winner when 1989 Padre Mark Davis signed with the Royals as a free agent and closed out a game won by 1985 and 1989 AL Cy winner Brett Saberhagen.
