Randall Delgado RHP, Brett Oberholtzer LHP, Paul Clemens RHP, JJ Hoover RHP, Mississippi Braves - 5-1, 42 IP, 9 ER, 30 H, 7 BB, 36 K - It wouldn't be fair to not acknowledge how fantastic this foursome has been for Mississippi this year, and they turned things up a notch this week, combining for 5 wins in 6 starts, a 1.93 ERA, a 0.88 WHIP, 6.4 H/9, 1.5 BB/9, 7.7 K/9, and 5.1 K/BB. The Braves have an embarrassment of riches in the Minors, and that might not be more true anywhere than on their AA team.

The Braves have a great set of backup starter options at triple-A to choose from. Teheran and his 1.91 ERA is an easy choice, but Lopez has a nice-looking 1.79 ERA, and Minor has a 2.22 ERA. Heck, even fourth starter Todd Redmond has a 3.18 ERA. The promotion of Teheran to the Majors will also open up opportunities for the Braves pitching prospects at double-A. Who, by the way, might be an equally impressive and deeper group of prospects

The only Braves team to lose on the day did so in a fairly humiliating manner as the offense collected just two hits and four walks in the contest. Paul Clemens continued to do excellent work and has allowed just 17 hits in his last 34 innings of work while posting a 1.56 ERA. Quick stat fact: Clemens 1.99 ERA leads the Southern League. J.J Hoover is second at 2.16 and Randall Delgado is third at 2.38 with Brett Oberholtzer waaaay down at 11 with a 3.10 mark. All three are also in the top ten in strikeouts with three of them in the top ten in WHIP as well. Is this the best pitching staff in the minors?

McCann ties it, wins it with homers on day off

The Braves are a league-best 17-7 since April 22, batting a modest .254 in that stretch while posting a 2.58 ERA. But they’ve averaged nearly five runs per game in that period, in large part due to power – 26 homers the past 22 games, including nine multi-homer games.


In May, Atlanta is a league-best 12-4 with a league-low 2.49 ERA and league-lows of 100 hits and 41 walks allowed. The Braves are hitting .268 with vastly improved .342 OBP in May.
They’ve trimmed their deficits to 1-1/2 games behind Philly and one behind Florida.

Someone tell me if Chipper getting tagged out at old was due to him being old and slow.
