I’m not sure the Bourn-as-leadoff-man experiment is going to work. Granted, he’s only been with the Braves for a week and a half, but he’s hitting .071 with a .133 on base percentage. For the season, he’s hitting .230 with a sub-.300 OBP. Sadly, after last night’s abomination, BJ has better numbers. Bourn’s a good guy and all, but boy has he declined in a hurry.
It’d be nice to win one at pet food park before visiting Cubs team that’s 12-3 this month. Yikes. this is shaping up to be one of those abysmal road trips. At least San Diego and Chicago are nice places to visit.
