The Braves are very good at baseball.

Coming through town.

The Braves score a lot of runs.

They have a very good offense.

Yes, yes.

And then that's followed with three at home again against the two-time defending world champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

It doesn't sound particularly well, but this is a stretch where, hey, just have a winning homestand, right?

They went 2-4 on the road trip.

Again, it's a very different 2-4 because of the competition they were going against when you compare what the Cubs just went through to go 2-4.

The offense is still offensing.

I like that, but can you get the pitching to be better?

I think one of the big concerns is that

Davis Martin, they weren't sure what they were going to do.

It looks like he's going to pitch now on Wednesday.

But they wanted to give him an extra day, so they moved Eric Fetty up.

And he'll pitch tomorrow.

But I need Davis Martin to continue to be Davis Martin.

You're waiting for the bottom to fall out, aren't you?

Can I remind you of Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper?

That's why they use the opener.
