The Daily Chop: Braves drops series opener, Schebler, Flowers and d’Arnaud fall ill

Let the overreactions.....BEGIN!

But seriously, folks, the 2020 season finally got underway for the Braves in what was a tough 1-0 loss to Jacob deGrom and the Mets. Mike Soroka was excellent through six scoreless innings, but a Chris Martin pitch that was sufficiently grooved down the middle for Yoenis Cespedes proved to be the difference in the game.

Friendly reminder that pitchers are usually ahead of hitters this point in the year and these guys have gotten maybe 30 at-bats or so to get ready in less than ideal circumstances.
