A career-best start highlighted an otherwise forgettable week.
This week was bad, plain and simple.
The Atlanta Braves lost every game they played this week - including three gut-wrenching defeats, including two walk-off losses and one complete collapse the likes the team hadn’t suffered since 1973.
Atlanta has lost seven games in-a-row and now find themselves 14 games out of first place in the National League East on June 8. They are at risk of tumbling...

There is no relief. There are no answers. There is only struggle.
On August 9, 2017, the Atlanta Braves lost 3-2 to the Philadelphia Phillies at what is now known as Truist Park. Sean Newcomb started and gave up three runs (two in the third and one in the fifth) and two runs from the Braves in the seventh inning weren’t enough for the Braves to eventually overcome the deficit. The two RBI came from pinch-hitter Danny Santana, who then took...
Mike Yastrzemski highlighted a three-run fourth inning with a two-run double, Landen Roupp combined with three relievers on a six-hitter and the San Francisco Giants completed a three-game sweep over the visiting Atlanta Braves with a 4-3 victory Sunday afternoon.

They’re on pace for what would be a record 49 one-run losses.
Everything started out fine.
Ronald Acuna walked to lead off the game, and Austin Riley followed with a single that moved Ronnie to third. Matt Olson followed with a groundball to give the Atlanta Braves a 1-0 lead. Spencer Strider then got a pop out and struck out the next two batters. This is how you draw it up.
Then the Braves made a few mistakes, and they paid for it.
In the bottom of the...

Okay. We can do this.
I’ve never been to the West Coast (I think I’ve mentioned that before), but I do like … West Coast-style food. It made me curious what the Giants have to offer at their stadium.

We're in nightmare territory
Eli White got off to a tremendous start, but he lost time once Ronald Acuña came back and Alex Verdugo inexplicably got more playing time. Verdugo is down to 78 wRC+, has no real reason to think that'll improve, and plays terrible defense. Okay, White hasn't been a lot better, but he can at least defend. It would be better if the Braves had a guy like ...

The Atlanta Braves’ handling of Craig Kimbrel was completely baffling. The Braves in March signed Kimbrel to a minor-league deal. He pitched in three games for Double-A Columbus and was nearly flawless with no hits and only one walk allowed over 3.1 innings.
While the Atlanta Braves may be underperforming so far this season, one MLB insider believes their 27-36 record heading into Sunday's action won't be enough to cost manager Brian Snitker his job.

... Man, I just don't know anymore
Let's just say it's been a week (or 3).
Spencer Strider is coming off a major injury, and as frustrating as that may be, we have to keep remembering that. It's a long layoff from actual competition. It's getting used to your body as it is now. And it's learning to trust that your body is going to do it while not breaking again. It's likely going to take a minute to get back to what he was.
Because he hasn't been great since...

The right-hander will be available for Sunday’s contest.
The Atlanta Braves have added right-handed reliever José Ruiz to their 26-man roster and optioned fellow reliever Austin Cox to Triple-A.
The #Braves today reported RHP José Ruiz to Atlanta. The club optioned LHP Austin Cox to Triple-A Gwinnett following yesterday’s game.

Caminiti dominated in his first game back in an Augusta uniform
While the results didn’t fall in their favor, it was quite a great day for pitching especially by JR Ritchie and Cam Caminiti. At every level at least one Atlanta Braves prospect did something notable, but Caminiti was clearly the highlight. After a two month wait to see him back in televised action he didn’t disappoint, striking out eighth batters over five...

Next man up
The Braves have had six relievers attempt a save this season, at least by MLB definition. I don’t know that there have been six that have pitched with a lead in the ninth. Raisel Iglesias is sporting a 6.75 ERA, Daysbel Hernandez is on the IL, Pierce Johnson went kablooey yesterday, Dylan Lee has three blown saves, Enyel De Los Santos says hi, and Hector Neris is trying to pick up the pieces with the Angels. One man that they haven’t tried is...
In typical baseball fashion, the Braves somehow ended up losing a game where they hit four homers in a row.
Braves Franchise History1961: The Milwaukee Braves set a major league record with four consecutive home runs by Eddie Mattews, Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock and Frank Thomas against the Reds. Matthews and Aaron homer off starter Jim Maloney. Adcock and Thomas homer off reliever Marshall Bridges. Despite the feat, the Braves lost 10-8.

Atlanta Braves news and notes from Saturday
Well...the Braves are in a brutal spot right now. They are having some absurdly bad luck in close games (0-9 in the last 9 one-run games and 0-12 in the last 12 two-run games) and have already eaten up essentially all of their margin for error for the season and perhaps more. They are 9 games behind .500 and 9.0 games out of the last wild-card spot, while sitting a whopping 12.5 games behind the lead in the...
The Braves are making some changes in the ninth inning, as manager Brian Snitker told reporters (including MLB.com’s Mark Bowman) on Friday.
Craig Kimbrel’s return to the Atlanta Braves didn’t last long. After throwing one scoreless inning for the club in Friday’s extra-innings loss to the San Francisco Giants, Atlanta designated the righty for assignment on Saturday.
Atlanta Braves Starting Pitcher Bryce Elder had a great start this afternoon on the road against the San Francisco Giants. He surrendered 1 earned run over 8 innings of work and punched out 12.

I’m about out of words at this point
With the team in dire straights and their playoff hopes dimming by the day, the Braves faced a tough matchup with Bryce Elder on the mound, facing Logan Webb.
It was a pitchers duel early, with Webb looking dominant but neither offense finding much success. The Braves did find some success in the second inning, as Ozzie and Nick Allen hit singles to put men on the corners with one out in the third, but...
