    Braves keep on rolling - 4 straight division titles

    This one is really satisfying to me considering how terrible we were early, lost players (Acuna, ozuna, TDA for a large chunk, and soroka), and only a 7% of playoffs in mid-July.

    AA is the best GM in the game IMO.

    Beat brewers!

    This was a hard fought title. All the injuries and other stuff. They basically rebuilt the team and snit did a great job managing. AA did a great job with the mid season rebuild. Will Smith still scares me lol! Lotta heart on this team!

    AA did a great job. Glad I put some money down on them winning the East. Time to go put it on the Under for our game.

    Last weekend State lost, Pats Lost, Bucs lost, the Braves were the only thing that salvaged the weekend, lol!

    Thankfully Dallas won Monday the Braves have swept the Phillies and
    clinched so I'm looking forward to State blowing out the Aggie's*** to complete a great week!

    The trades he made were incredible. Soler and Duval represent the first time that 2 deadline deal players hit 12 HR each for 1 team. After losing Ozuna and Acuna, that is a huge injection for the offense.

    Just an incredible job by the entire team. From AA and the front office all the down to Snit and the team. I really believe the struggles of this season grew some players up. I think Austin Riley is a perfect example. I mean you get Acuna and possibly Ozuna back next year and add them in with this version of Austin Riley and a hopefully re signed Adam Duvall and man.....that lineup will be SCARY.

    Do we REALLY want Ozuna back? His numbers, even before roughing up his wife, weren't great. He was better at mimicking the fake "selfie" with Ozzie and Acuna~

    If he's reinstated, we don't have a choice, do we? Can't really eat that contract

    I'd rather have Soler and Duvall. Ozuna is horrible defensively and wasn't even hitting much.

    I was about to say the same thing. Duval & Soler are far superior players than Ozuna..

    We need Morton & Fried to pitch lights out this postseason. If Soroka was healthy, I would put the Braves as my favorites to win the pennant. Brew crew will be a tough draw.

    I feel good about Morton and Fried. The guy who really needs to be lights out is Ian Anderson. Having a quality 3rd starter in the post season is critical.

    Would certainly help. I'm not confident in him, but he has been decent in the postseason before.

    Agreed and it would sure be nice if Ynoa found it again. That dude can absolutely dominate when hes going good, plus he can rake too.

    Is he still the front man flute playing leader of Jethro Tull? That guy can bring it on the flute for sure!

    Ian Anderson looks like a young jomo…

    I don’t see this team getting out of the first round but the way they have the LDS scheduled it could allow advantageous bullpen usage.
