The Atlanta Braves<\/a> had major question marks surrounding their starting rotation coming into the 2026 season. However, the Braves have started 6-3, which is solid and much better than last year\u2019s start.<\/p>\n

Despite a 2-1 loss on Saturday, Bryce Elder<\/a> pitched seven innings and gave up zero earned runs. The solid outing gives Bryce Elder 13 innings of scoreless baseball to start the year. Just like everyone predicted.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, social media has caught fire since the recent Bryce Elder start. The Atlanta Braves lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> out west, but the Braves\u2019 solid start continues.<\/p>\n

Despite the strong start by Bryce Elder, Elder was tagged with the loss after going seven innings and not allowing an earned run on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The Diamondbacks were able to score two runs, but it was because Elder had a fielding error that allowed two runners to score.<\/p>\n

CBS Sports had this to say o<\/a>n the solid Elder start:<\/p>\n

\u201cElder was dominant on the mound after tossing 61 of his 89 pitches for strikes, but unfortunately, a throwing error following a bunt in the second inning allowed the Diamondbacks to score their two runs of the game. Elder has pitched much better than his 1-1 record indicates, though. He has posted 13 scoreless innings and a 13:2 K:BB in his first two outings. His next start should come against the Guardians at home next weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, there has been a strong social media reaction to Bryce Elder\u2019s strong start to the season.<\/p>\n

Here are the best comments courtesy of X.com:<\/p>\n

@srtology:<\/a>Damm can\u2019t believe the Braves wasted a cy Young pitching performance from the legendary Bryce Elder. Hopefully Bryce Elder can keep this up, talk about a redemption arc.<\/p>\n

@ush_sisk<\/a>: It was a loss, but Bryce Elder was really good tonight. Workhorse. Reliable.<\/p>\n

@Wolfman4206:<\/a> Vintage \u201824-\u201825 performance and it was absolutely disgusting. Killed our playoff chances just like that. Cut Bryce Elder from the sport too. Blew the game along with the offense<\/p>\n
