Friends, it turns out this is my last week at ESPN. I am taking this 0 percent personally. My bosses, and bosses’ bosses, were constantly over-the-top encouraging to me. This is just a very large pandemic.

That injury to Chris Martin in Game 1. When he had to leave, Luke Jackson gave up two runs, then Melancon called in for the long save and blew it. In Game 4, Teheran--who replaced Martin on the roster--took the loss. Braves have to be thinking, if only Chris Martin couldplay
