I wish the announcers would stop sucking off Zach Wheeler and place the blame on the poor for offensive production.

It's a 162 game season.

Braves will be fine. I remember they were swept in Philly 2 years ago to start the year, everyone lost their minds, and they won 97 games.

People on here and in this town in general watch baseball w/too much of a football mentality. Can't do that. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

I think the offense will be fine too. The pitching was good in Philly, but the overall talent in the bullpen is less than it was last year, at least on paper. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

I'll find it, but the Braves had about 20 or so balls that were hit over 100 MPH and most right at Phillies' fielders. It was nuts

Found it:

Braves had 20 balls hit at 100+ MPH.

And of those 20, 13 were hit right to Phillies defenders. The Phils had 14 and made outs on 6. The thing that was aggravating though was that the Braves only had 1 hit on a ball hit under 80 MPH. The Phils had 9, including 2 by Wheeler!

That's baseball.

Today was a good day. I really enjoyed the pitching in game 2.

Sucks for Camargoat, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be a Brave by seasons end.

Camargo needs to be somewhere on a bad team where he can play everyday. He isn't a good utility player.

Agree, he was best playing everyday at the hot corner.

Acuña is beast mode Acuña we’ve been dreaming about. Fun to watch when he is essentially unstoppable.

The atmosphere at the game last night was top notch, and so was every aspect of the Braves performance.

Every starter other than Acuña is hitting below the Mendoza line...

And the bullpen is performing as if we didn’t resign Melancon, Green, or O’Day.

Smyly hasn’t been very good either.

I thought we got a make up call from last night in the review on the throw to 2nd base in the 7th or 8th.

It's a 4 game series. Withholding judgement on the pen until after this series.

We have got to get the bats going outside of Acuna, way to many guys batting in the .100 range.
