Braves Briefing: Let's have some proper perspective

The Atlanta Braves are going to be just fine after going 15-14 in May.

Zac Blackerby

Happy June, everyone. May is behind us and looking back at it, Atlanta did not look like a great baseball team during several stretches of the month. 

Jake Mastroianni of Locked On Braves and Braves Today added some valuable perspective for folks who have been low on this Atlanta team's performance over the past few weeks.

Despite losing Max Fried, Kyle Wright, and facing some tough opponents on a long road streak, Atlanta is going to be fine this season.

Andrew Stefaniak led the Braves Today coverage on Wednesday. In his takeaways, he highlighted Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia's solid day.

Orlando Arcia had a big night at the dish going 3-3 with three singles. With him batting eighth in the order, you love Arica getting on because this sets the table for the mashers. That was the case in this game, and he scored twice for the Braves. If the bottom of the order can produce like this, it will help the top of the order drive in more runs, and the Braves will win more ball games. 

Check out all of the takeaways from Wednesday.
