I know its talked about but are all the teams the Braves have had over the last 30 years built for 162 and flawed in a short series? Keep in mind this is just my opinion and I am upset for sure but here goes. I have been a fan for over 30 years. This idea that the playoffs is whoever gets hot is a joke. Eight straight times we get knocked out in the opening round? Get rid of the HR or strikeout hitters because it doesn't work in October and everybody knows it. Get power arms in the rotation. This rotation scares nobody. I know we have best ERA in the NL but it doesn't matter if you don't have the guys at the top of the rotation. We don't have the guys at the top that can dominate a series. We have to have a real ace. I could care less about division titles if we don't have a chance in the playoffs. This team was flawed from the beginning. Even though we have 96 wins in the regular season we still don't match up. We would have lost to any of the teams in this years playoffs. Not a one would we have been a favorite against despite having more regular season wins. Those banners that this club is so proud of just point out we haven't won in October. But I am certain I will hear how great a season this was. History will repeat itself again over the next 15 years 2 or more teams in our own division will win the World Series yet we will have more division titles. I wish we could build a team that has a chance to compete in October like the Giants, Tigers, Cardinals, Dodgers etc. TWO DOMINATE STARTERS. We don't have any on this roster! Nice pieces to have but not aces.
