One of the biggest head-scratchers in the 2019 season so far for the Atlanta Braves has been the lack of good plays on defense.
I’ll be honest and tell you I’m not huge on analytics, and I don’t think there has been a great metric created yet that can properly judge how good a team is on defense.
But as someone who has watched every Braves game this season, I can tell you that I don’t need any stats to tell me they aren’t as good as they were a year ago.
Last year it seemed like the Atlanta Braves made all the routine plays and sprinkled in some great plays every now and then.
