The good, the bad, and the ugly from the first half of the Atlanta Braves season.
have officially arrived at the 2024 All-Star Break, a hopeful sign for the team and fans alike. The team's recent series win against the San Diego Padres on Sunday should fill the fans with optimism as they head into the break, despite the team’s inconsistent offense.participating in Major League Baseball’s home run derby on Monday and three of his teammates participating in the All-Star game on Tuesday, many accomplishments should be noted in the team’s first half of the season.
Over the past 30 days, Olson has been cold with his bat, as he is currently holding a .192 batting average in the cleanup spot. More concerning is that he only has a .261 OBP and .327 SLG in that time span as well.

You’ve just got to keep putting that best foot forward, and eventually, it’s going to turn. I’ve seen a lot of hard-hit balls be caught this year and stuff that just hasn’t gone our way.
