It's a Miracle of sorts; the Atlanta Braves are on fire. This team is hot and is searching to make probably the most out of the opportunities which are placed in front of them. When the season ended last year, the Braves had been on track to have a season in 2011 that was anything much less than excellent. This was the overall feeling when Spring Training began earlier this year. Maybe it really is the guardian angel that the team has, or maybe they desire to send Bobby Cox into retirement the correct way, no matter the reason the Braves are searching to make a serious impact within the second component of this season.

Look at the bullpen and you will be quick to notice that the team is looking more like a world class team than just a bunch of players that are lucky enough to be on the same team. The pitching rotation is one of the best since the days of Glavine, Avery and Smoltz. These three ran the Braves in the early part of the 90's and as a result made an impact on the team. There is a new trio of pitchers that are giving the batters they face a lot of grief when taking to the plate.

There is a lot that can be said about the batting order of the team as well. There has been a lot of power that has found its way to the batter's box of the Braves. This has in turn made for a tough outing for the pitchers that they have faced. It is now common practice that when at a Braves game expects a ball popped into the stands. This as a result has made for impressive stats that few teams can compete with when it comes to overall numbers. There will be a lot of players for the Braves that will be top picks for the All-Star game in a few weeks. The fans see that the team is on fire and will be a major contender for the post season in the 2011 season.

There is very little that needs to be done in the outfield in order to keep the team on track in the 2011 season. There have been a lot of improvements that were made to the outfield in the offseason. These improvements are part of the reason that the Braves have held teams to such few runs. There has been an increased sense of hustle that has been placed in the outfield and as a result has led the team to improve on their skills.

The plays in the outfield are also an important part of the success that the Braves have experienced in the past few months. There has been a renewed passion that has been made apparent in the outfield. This took a little tweaking to get right, but in the end it has paid off greatly for the team. There are a lot of reasons as why this year will be one of the better years for the Braves. There is a lot of celebrating that will be going on in the spring training of the 2011 season. This is all due to a new year and a new attitude for the Atlanta Braves.
