Too early for me to get too overconfident. Wright's been put on the 15 day IL and seems to have recurring problems with his shoulder. The bullpen is shaky to say the least, but hopefully Iglesias returning soon can shore that up.Hope so. While the Bravos win, the Mets keep losing. Maybe we could build up an insurmountable lead by the All-Star break?
The bullpen is unnerving. Last night's one-run win was a pleasant surprise, especially after Minter had given up a much more comfortable 4-run lead in the ninth days ago.Too early for me to get too overconfident.

Meanwhile the Phillies arguably have the best lineup in baseball with Harper back earlier than expected, and we all saw what they're capable of doing last October. The early lead is nice, but the Braves just need to keep their noses to the grindstone and continue to play solid ball.

All I really know about Baltimore is that they score a lot of runs. Hopefully Fried has his A game this evening.^ This. I don't know anything about Baltimore, but they are playing some really good ball so far. I hope they don't see "Baltimore" on the schedule and take them lightly. If their pitcher is on tonight and living on the corners, they need to switch the mindset from homer ball to small ball.
He's in the starting lineup tonight.Any word on how Acuna's knee test went??
I know the Braves benefitted from it today but I still hate the extra inning rule of having a runner on second to start with inning.Wow, what a series with the O's! Wouldn't mind seeing these two go at it in October.
