Good afternoon, folks! How’s the first week of June treating you?
So far, so good for the Braves. Having been to three (3) games this week, I can confirm it’s getting to be hot and humid in a way that home run balls particularly like. To my inexpert eye in the upper deck, it looked like Austin Wynns was having a rough time acclimating to the weather. Worry not, sir – Drake Baldwin is tracking to return this month, potentially next homestand.
A fun fact from the game notes: after yesterday’s win, Atlanta’s improvement to 23 games over .500 is a new high-water mark. The last time the club was this far over .500 was at the end of the historic 2023 season, where the team finished 46 games over .500.
