For a lot of this season, broadcasters have been going out of their way to put Atlanta Braves closer Will Smith up on a pedestal. Now things are getting out of hand.
When it comes to our Atlanta Braves players, we want them to excel. As fans, we want to cheer for them… even supporting them when they falter.
What I don’t like to see is reports or stats that are so obviously cherry-picked that it insults the intelligence of all those who have been following the team this season.
