  • The Atlanta Curse

    The Atlanta Braves have been in the news lately, partial, for landing in 1st place of the red hot NL East division. Chris Sale has been wheeling and dealing looking like the team’s best player with a 1.96 ERA but the odyssey to stay healthy has remained.

    Take a look at Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spencer Strider. Those two can easily be successful when given the opportunity to be a number one option.

    Then, there was the late Ted Turner and manager Bobby Cox who passed away in the same week as two Atlanta legends. Who could not forget the trio Bobby Cox worked with which included Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, and John Smoltz.

    The Braves dominated the 90’s of baseball and have a lot to appreciate except for Sean Murphy. He has been listed out again for eight weeks and it is a major concern given this is Murphy’s fifth time on the IL in three years.
