Are these Braves ever truly out of a game? It's a question that keeps popping up, and for good reason. The Colorado Rockies had Atlanta on the ropes for the first seven innings, but as we've seen time and again, this team refuses to quit. In fact, over the last three games, the team that led early couldn't seal the deal—a trend that's becoming a signature of this resilient Braves squad.

Take Michael Harris II, for instance. He was headed for the Injured List, but instead, he stepped up as a pinch hitter and delivered. That's not a one-off either. On April 24th, Harris crushed a go-ahead pinch-hit double in the sixth inning, sparking yet another comeback. Then there was the game where the Braves scored four runs in the seventh inning of a tie game, turning the momentum on its head. And who could forget April 19th? Down 4-1 after the first inning, Harris launched two home runs, and the team followed with a relentless rally—single, single, walk, single, double—to snatch a 4-2 victory.

This offense is on fire, y'all. They rank third in homers, fourth in expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA), and fourth in weighted runs created plus (wRC+) across the league. More importantly, they're playing smart baseball, avoiding the kind of dumb mistakes that sink lesser teams. So, while giving up six runs in Denver might raise eyebrows, it's no reason to lose faith. You could argue it's time to close the door on Grant Holmes as a starter, but this lineup? It's a force that's just getting started. Keep your eyes on these Braves—they're never out of the fight.
