• Have the Braves gotten what they’ve paid for?

Eric Hartline-Imagn Images Or rather, have they gotten what they’ve gotten because they didn’t pay? I am not a gardener by trade or by general interest.

• Why I’m not worried about Michael Harris II

Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images The bat will come around. There is plenty of blame to go around on this 26-29 Atlanta Braves squad. For starters, sequencing and timing.

As Battery Power’s own Shawn Coleman pointed out, entering play on Thursday, the 2–5 h...2025
