It is almost midnight, so I am going to bed because my chest is really, really sore and I hope I did not tear anything. It felt like the time I got in a car accident and the airbag got me.

They just can't expect to be winning these games when they are still so poor with RISP. Even the first two wins still covered up how poorly some guys are hitting. When you have runners at 1st and 2nd and nobody out and you get nothing, you don't deserve to win these types of close games.

Puig .167
Grandal .125
Kike .111
Machado .083
Bellinger .000

You have 5 of your 8 starting players hitting that bad. That's just a stunning amount of Mendoza and below level hitting. I will acknowledge that Grandal, Kike and Machado have 3 HR's and Game 2 probably doesn't get rolling without Machado's early bomb setting the tone but. The Braves are not a great SP team either.
