As fans of the Atlanta Braves in 2019, we’ve repeatedly seen what appears to be a virtual parade of hitters come to the plate against this club and rap out a base hit – or worse.
The frustrating part is when these “hitters” are actually pitchers.
The most egregious of these ‘fail’ events came when .169-hitting Stephen Strasburg unloaded against the Braves – in SunTrust Park, no less – for a 3-for-3 day that included a homer and five RBI on July 18.
I get it … there are statistical anomalies out there, but that one in particular was hard to stomach.
