While it was always a reality, it is not fun to see it actually come to fruition.
After excellent starts by Charlie Morton and Kyle Wright seemed like a nice bounce back from the Opening Night loss to the Reds, the struggles of Ian Anderson and Huascar Ynoa on Sunday and Monday were tough to witness. Both Anderson and Ynoa struggled with their control out of the gate, and eventually their luck ran out as the Reds and Nationals lineups finally connected for big hits that the Braves could not overcome.
While the Braves offense itself certainly has also struggled, the first returns of the Braves starting staff have been less than encouraging.
