Braves vs. Padres Tuesday June 10, 2015 |
Through 59 games, the Braves sit one game below the .500 mark with a record of 29-30. In what has been an under-performing division to date, they are 2 games out of first place behind first place Washington coming into today's game. The 2015 team has been a fun team to watch, specifically comparing to 2014's team. They show a lot of fight and for the most part you get the feeling they are still alive in games. Are they bound for a deep playoff run? Probably not. But sitting over one third of the way through the season, they are not out of the picture. My hope is that this team will still be playing for the NL East or a wild card spot come the dog days of summer. Only time will tell if they can maintain a .500 or better record, but they have done a good job of proving the critics wrong to this point, and I see no reason why they can't keep that going.
First pitch is in 12 minutes. Time to get back to .500
