The Braves don’t normally hold team meetings, but when they do, something good usually follows. In each of the last two seasons, Brian Snitker has called for one, both coming in Arizona. The first came in 2022, when the Braves found themselves under .500 and facing a deep hole in the division behind the Mets.
If the first half of the Braves season was frustrating, the second half hasn’t gotten off to a much better start. Atlanta has dropped three of its first four games, but most notably, both Max Fried and Ozzie Albies have been placed on the IL, with Albies expected to miss most of the remainder of
Injuries are never funny, but it has gotten to the point of comedy when discussing the number of issues the Braves have dealt with this year on the injury front, and today was almost the cherry on top. Following the news that Ozzie Albies fractured his wrist and will miss most of the rest of
