The Braves have had an interesting ride over the first two months. It started off with a bang, and it looked like they could be on their way to something special. But the month of May has brought some hurdles. The Braves are 11-13 over their last 24 games and are coming off a series
Yesterday, I covered the three biggest positives through the first third of the season. Now, it’s time for the Braves three biggest disappointments through the first third of the season, some of which are more worrisome than others. A.J.

Sure, the Braves may be struggling a bit on the field for their standards, but there has been plenty of excitement for fans over the last few days. Michael Soroka made his first major-league start in over 1,000 days, and while the Braves couldn’t get a win, he showed a lot of promise and is
