After the game, manager Walt Weiss made an honest statement when he met with the media (h/t RowdySports.TV).
Weiss: “It’s up to us to turn it around… I believe it will, but we have to make it happen. The guys are doing what they can… It’s just been one of them tough stretches.”
The Braves have had a fantastic season.
That said, their play during the month of June has been extremely concerning.
Chad Withrow wrote: “The Braves were never as good as their incredible start and they aren’t as bad as they were in June. The truth lies in the middle and that truth will lead to the Phillies winning the Division.”
