Granted it's only a week into the season, but the Braves have looked mighty impressive in my opinion. Considering they've played 2 series against division rivals, both of whom were/are predicted by almost everyone to finish ahead of ATL in the NL East, swept one (away from home no less) and took 2 of 3 in the other, I think they're looking nice.
Also not getting a whole lot of love around here or from the media types, which in my opinion is a good thing. Flying way under the radar given they're a game above every other team in the league.
And, mind you, all this is happening with Chipper hitting under .220 going into tonight's game, Andruw under .190 both with no HRs and 1 RBI between them. You know they're going to heat up, and if the rest of the team (particularly the pitching) stays solid, this could get very interesting for my Braves...
