July 1st: Good News

As always- another Braves loss, a little bit of good news:
- The Braves bullpen has been oustanding the last week and a half.  Over the last 8 games, their collective ERA is 1.78.  Hard to complain about that.  Even more, if you take Jorge Sosa out of the equation, it falls to 1.08.
- Every position player got at least 1 hit, with 5 of them getting 2 hits.
- Scott Thorman had his first major league multi-hit game.  Maybe he can push his average above the mendoza line today with another good performance.
- Chipper's power may have returned.  Over his last 5 games he's had 2 HR and 3 2B, raising his SLG% 40 points to .468.  Let's hope he keeps this up.

And...
despite the loss, the Braves offense walked 4 times and struck out just twice. More balls in play will always lead to more offensive output.
