Braves enjoy Bourn while they still have him

Hitting coaches Greg Walker and Scott Fletcher have been miracle workers for the Braves' bats. But nothing changes an offense like a bona fide lead-off hitter, and that's what they have now for the first time in a long time with center fielder Michael Bourn. The only problem with Bourn is that he's a free agent at the end of this season. And he's a Scott Boras client...

Bourn sending Braves to win column

Michael Bourn is doing exactly what the Braves hoped and certainly thought -- he would. He's hitting and darting and dashing and tracking down everything hit in Atlanta's 404 area code.

Michael Bourn’s bathroom break delayed the Braves game (Video)

There was an amusing delay in the Braves-Diamondbacks game on Thursday when center fielder Michael Bourn was late getting out to the field after taking a bathroom break.

Braves OF delays game for bathroom break

When you gotta go, you gotta go. The bottom of the fourth inning in Thursday’s Braves-Diamondbacks game was delayed for a few minutes because Braves center fielder Michael Bourn was nowhere to be found.
