Just saw this thread, came to chime in. Alex Anthopolous is a wizard and has assembled a great team of seemingly good dudes who rake. Not sure how the year will end, but it's been a fun season to track.

Braves head into post season with best record in MLB.
Hope I've not jinxed 'em.

I bought the MLB package the year and watched about 70% of the games. It’s been glorious. Reminds me of the TBS 90’s.
Just got 2 gatlinburg so I'll probably miss the games next few days. Go Braves!!
Worried about the injuries to the pitching staff but offense is insane - chop chop!
Braves pitching concerns me and the Phillies were the one team I wanted to avoid but I still belive the Braves can win
Braves pitching is bad right now. Fried needs to get right quickly.
Morton & fried need to get healthy. Stirder is usually good, elder is very up and down
Damn Phillies again to. Atlanta couldn’t hit at all this series
Sean Murphy getting two hits tonight just pissed me off more.
Complete chokes 2 years in a row. Having 5 days off before you play sucks. But honestly, this team was 15-17 in September and coasting into home cost momentum, imo.
Braves need a few things, starting with a manager. Definitely need better pitching from starters through the bullpen.
Acuna is a great player, at least during the season. But his HR basepath dancing and lack of hustle running to first make me wonder if he’ll ever grow up.

I'm on a Braves forum. The die-hards want Snitker gone, casuals want to keep him for life. Snit is just too damn friendly.
Acuna is a damn bad ass and doesn't need to grow up. He hit 337 with 41 HRs. Are you f'ing kidding me?
From an offense perspective, the bottom 3 of our lineup didn't show up for the playoffs. Harris was the one that shocked me... he was garbage at the plate.
AA made two big mistakes this year in my opinion:
1) We should have gone after Bellinger. He was special this year and we could have had him for $18M. Imagine having him instead of Rosario.
2) He needed to add a good pitcher - somehow / someway. And he's going to have to do this in the offseason as Wright is likely gone next year too.

Same i started jumping and fist pumping then he caught it, and I got mad fun of. The arcia at bat was bad, he has to atleast swing or try
I’m torn. He is a good guy and great regular season manager, but In the postseason he makes some questionable decisions
He sets the lineup and sits there on his ass.
After getting your ass kicked last year, the manager and team should be fired up and want to destroy the Phillies but the Braves were flat the whole series
Clutch hitting costs us 2 games so we can blame pitching but if the offense was anything remotely like the regular season the Braves won in 4 or play for a game 5.
If you hold your opponent to 3 runs or less I'd argue pitching did it's job. So only one game our pitching let us down.
Strider looked like he'd have taken Hamas out all by himself and no one was there to give him a break.
I hate the phillies. Bum franchise.
They aren’t a good team, idk why the Braves can’t beat them. Harper is a beast and turner and realmuto are solid. But the rest of that team is inconsistent. I hate them as much as I do the Mets. I don’t understand why the Braves struggle with them so much
It's even funnier when their fans try to talk trash to the Braves. The Phillies have the most losses in MLB history and the worst winning percentage.
To be fair they can roast us right now they have kicked our asses back-back postseasons. But I bet they don’t win the World Series again and the only memorable thing they will have is beating Atalanta
True, and this is about as much enjoyment as I'll ever have. I love watching people that "talk shit" get their ass handed to them.
