Braves

So the Braves are (6-7) which is not good. We won the series against the Phillies to start off the year which was awesome. But we've been not to great since. The game we lost to the Phillies should have been a win but in the 7th inning I think we gave up eight runs!!! which cost the game. THe bullpen gave up four straight walks with bases loaded. BASES LOADED. Our bullpen is doing awful AGAIN but I actually think we have one of the best bullpens right now. Like its do really well or do really bad lately.

Earlier I said teh Braves are (6-7). The Flordia Marlins are (11-2)!!!! They have the best record in baseball right now. We are 5 games back and I believe that we can bounce back and rack up some wins under our belt. I think we will come in first in our region this year as long as Chipper Jones stays healthy.

The reason I say Chipper Jones needs to stay healthy is because hes the best and its hard for us to win without him. I tried looking up what the record is but its really surprising.

So far this year... And Carrer Totals...

• 8 games 2031
• 31 at bats 7368
• 7 runs 1385
• 10 hits 2287
• 2 doubles 451
• 1 triple 36
• 1 home run 409
• 4 RBI 1378
• 17 total bases 4037
• 3 walks 1245
• 8 strike outs 1150
• 0 stolen bases 138
• .548 slugging average .548
• .323 batting average .310

He is the best player on the team and also my personal favorite. And oh did I forget to mention he's a switch hitter too? Chipper won the 1999 National League MVP Award, as well as the 1999 and 2000 National League Silver Slugger Award for third basemen. He currently holds the Braves team record for career On base percentage (.406), and on May 31, 2006, he passed Hank Aaron for second place on the Atlanta Braves all-time career home run list. On July 5, 2007, he passed Dale Murphy for the Atlanta club record of 372 home runs.

He is behind only Mickey Mantle and Eddie Murray on the all-time switch hitters career home run list. He is considered one of the game's best all-around hitters, and one of the best switch hitters in the history of the game. He is the only switch hitter in Major League Baseball history to have a .300+ career (.310 at the end of the 2008 season) batting average and 400 home runs.

So try to disagree with me that he's not awesome.
