You’d like to think that the Atlanta Braves did enough to sweep the Cubs even if the visitors had played normally well. Between bad fielding, bad pitching and more bad pitching, it’s truly hard to gauge how well Atlanta is really doing.
The Braves are now up to a 3-3 record after taking full advantage of a Chicago team that is playing shockingly bad right now. And Atlanta is doing this while still short-manned on the pitching side and with many hitters not quite going yet.
Happily, that pitching bit is about to change.
