For a minute there I thought we were going to have a 1st inning without giving up a run. Silly me.
 
I'm not worried the Braves aren't looking very good, as a team and in the standings—I expected that, and I think it's ultimately a good thing, if building for 2018-19-20 is the real goal.

What concerns me is that several of the veterans that the team needs to unload before the deadline for prospects are playing their way out of being valuable enough to trade for prospects.
 
When you're struggling like Swanson it seems pitchers save their best stuff for you. Some nasty pitches there
 
I haven't been able to actually watch a game in several weeks. Watching Swanson at-bat is just sad right now.
