In this game, the Braves hit three balls classified as 'barrels' under the criteria most recently updated for the end of the 2023 season. Those balls are usually extra-base hits. Today, all three were harmless outs.
A late rally and eventual walkoff flare aside, this game was fairly agonizing due to a variety of factors. For one, Bryce Elder had a very shaky outing and failed to follow up on the great stretch of starting pitching he kicked off with his 2024 debut to start the week.
