One night so perfectly summed up almost everything that’s so gloriously right and everything that can be so maddeningly wrong with this Braves team.
History was everywhere in Wednesday’s rout of the Marlins. It was in the 29 runs, the most in the National League in the modern era, a franchise-record nine RBI from Adam Duvall in his latest three-home run outburst — and it was in another epic implosion from Tommy Milone, the only acquisition made at the trade deadline.
The offense is very, very good. The rotation (especially with Max Fried out) is not, as the bullpen keeps shouldering heavy loads and it all gives us plenty to wade through after a history-making night at Truist Park.
