    Every team in the division has been to a World Series since the last time the Braves even won a playoff series.

    And in that span the Braves have been to the playoffs as many times as the Nats, Mets, and Marlins combined.

    It’s almost like 4-5 games isn’t enough of a sample to determine which team is better, and short series boil down to a lot of luck.

    Odd...

    our strategy was to save our veteran laidership and clutchness for the NLCS and WS and the cardinals' strategy was to use it up in the NLDS...happens

    Which makes our 10 straight series losses really quite impressive. Assuming the odds of winning any given series are about 50/50 (probably not as having a better team gives you some edge, still over the course of 10 series, we'll have been on both sides of that so 50/50 is about right). Having the same outcome 10 straight times is a 1 in 1,024 chance.

    We all bitched and complained (rightfully so) when we were forced to play a 1 game playoff after playing 162. Now we play a best of 5 (still not long enough of a series) and still lose. I mean, at some point we just have to adapt to the length of the series and just win. It's kind of our own fault that we have a moron for a manger who doesn't make strategic decisions to put us in the best possible situation to win. Also it doesn't help that our entire team outside of Acuna,Swanson and Albies slumped in the playoffs. We just need to accept that we suck instead of blaming the duration of the series.

    I mean, luck is involved, but you're overstating it. It's not a ****ing lottery.

    The Nationals are clearly a great team and better than the Cardinals and Braves.

    Scherzer, Strasburg, and Corbin have been dominant, and that's much better than anything the Cards or especially the Braves can throw in a series.

    I don't think the Nats are "clearly" better than the Braves. We bested them over 162 games. That being said, they're hot right now and probably better built for the playoffs than us.

    With the exception of Game 5, the most runs a Braves starter gave up was 3 runs in Game 3. The 1st 3 games, our starters gave up 1, 0, and 1 runs respectively. Granted Keuchel didn't go deep into the game in Games 1 or 4, but our starting pitching was pretty great outside of game 5.

    Losing Martin really hurt us. Fried likely would have been the Game 2 or Game 4 starter had Martin not gotten injured. Even still, this is all a moot point if Freeman and JD (among others) don't completely **** the bed.

    I get giving FF and JD grief but Mac and Neck deserve a lot of grief too. Mac was toast with 2 months to go and yet we still played him all 5 games. Neck is neck and unfortunately we didint have a better option but him batting 5th was avoidable.

    also won the season series and bested them repeatedly when the division was close and on the line.

    Things that help in the playoffs. Playing well and top notch pitching. Right now the Nats have both going for them. A series against the Astros would be really good.

    And you are right that they aren't clearly better. They just played better at the right time. Which sadly has happened against the Braves a lot lately.
