Close the book on Bryce Elder’s first start of the season:
— 6 innings
— 5 hits
— 5 strikeouts
— 1 walk
— 0 runs
He has had ups and downs in his Braves tenure, but this was one of the ups
Braves have flipped the luck to their side today compared to getting nothing their way a game ago
But at the same time, these pop ups are getting annoying
Braves don’t get much to go their way today, lot of hard hit balls, but just one of those days
Still win the series, right back out there against the Athletics tomorrow
Good Ozzie Albies years tend to align with good Braves seasons
Albies’ three highest OPS years are 2023, 2019, and 2021, which most would consider some of the best years of the current core
