2010 the Conclude of 1 Era and the Starting of the Atlanta Braves New Era

It is a Miracle of sorts; the Atlanta Braves are on fire. This team is hot and is looking to make the most out of the opportunities that are placed in front of them. When the season ended last year, the Braves were on track to have a season in 2010 that was anything less than great. This was the overall feeling when Spring Training began earlier this year. Maybe it is the guardian angel that the team has, or maybe they want to send Bobby Cox into retirement the right way, no matter the reason the Braves are looking to make a serious impact in the second part of this season.

The pitching rotation that has been put into place is one of the reasons that the team is looking to make a serious run for the post season later on. There was not this much talent in the bullpen since the days that the trio ran the bullpen in the early nineties. It is a new era and there is a renewed sense of purpose for the Braves in the pitching department. Look at the number of strikeouts that the team has against other teams and it is quick to see that this is the reason for the success that the Braves has had in the first part of this season. This will be one of the keys to the success that the Braves have in the second part of this season.

Pitching is only one part of the equation that the team has had in the 2010 season. The power of the bats is the second part of the picture. The power that is brought to the plate has been better than it has in the past few years. The stats of the season are proof that the Braves are out hitting all the other teams that are in the National League. Few teams are able to compete with the power that the Braves bring to the plate when at bat. This will be another aspect that the Braves will need to continue improving on in the later part of 2010.

The Braves outfield has seen a lot of massive improvement in the form of adding players that are able to get the big plays that are needed to be made on the field. The Braves has one of the more solid outfields in all of baseball. This talented outfield has led the team to see an increase in the number of plays that resulted in double plays and stranding runners at base. This is a vital key to the success of the Braves.

If you were a fan of the braves, then this is the year to renew your membership in their fan club. If this is the first bit of contact that you have had with the team, then make sure that you invest some serious time into getting to know the team that has led the National League in a number of the categories. The Atlanta Braves are on track to giving Bobby Cox a wonderful retirement gift in the form of a World Series championship.
