2010 the Stop of 1 Period and the Starting of the Atlanta Braves New Period

Take a look around the National League what is the one thing that you notice? The one thing that may stand out, is the fact that the team that few thought would be around as a contender, is looking like a true champion from their former glory days. This team is the Atlanta Braves. The Braves have come a long way from the bunch of misfits that took to the field in the second part of last season. This may all be due in part to the retirement of Bobby Cox or not regardless of the reason the Braves are on Fire.

Look at the bullpen and you will be quick to notice that the team is looking more like a world class team than just a bunch of players that are lucky enough to be on the same team. The pitching rotation is one of the best since the days of Glavine, Avery and Smoltz. These three ran the Braves in the early part of the 90's and as a result made an impact on the team. There is a new trio of pitchers that are giving the batters they face a lot of grief when taking to the plate.

The first reason goes to the pitching rotation that is now in place it may have taken a little while to get perfected, but now the team is on fire and is looking to advance more and more every game. With the trade deadline on the horizon the Braves may want to consider adding a little more fire power to their bullpen in the later part of the season. This will help to make sure that they continue to have the strong pitching presence.

There is more to the success of the Braves than just throwing a bunch of balls. There is also the hitting power that the team has in reserve; the batting of the Braves has allowed the team to have remarkable success at the plate when they are up to bat. This power has led the team to rock the plate when it comes to runs batted in and homeruns. There are few other teams that have the stats built up like what the Braves have amassed for themselves.

There is no reason why as a Braves fan you need to continue to hide in the doghouse and be afraid to show your Braves pride. The team has gone a long way in order to improve on their season from the previous few. There will be a lot more interest that will be included with the Braves and as a result will lead to Bobby Cox to have a wonderful retirement gift with a World Championship.
