Clinch day(?) Sat vs Phiiiies, game 3

[The Chosen One]

Who was skeptical about AA not being enough into analytics? I have liked AA since his days in Toronto and said so all along. Honestly, I was losing interest in MLB and the Braves and initially got interested again the day I heard AA had been hired. It shocked me they'd hire someone like him after passing on Bud Black as manager. I was furious over not hiring Black and still say that was a mistake. This team won this division because of being the best in it as their record vs the division showed. When someone struggled for a few weeks like Freeman and Markakis the second half, you had Acuna, Camargo, Inciarte and Culberson picking them up. Even Swanson had some big hits despite his numbers dropping and hustled a number of singles into doubles. Plus Albies homer last night was huge too despite his bad second half.

You can look back at the thread before AA was hired. I think a few like [MENTION=59]Enscheff[/MENTION] wanted McLeod from Chicago since he was an understudy of Hoyer/Epstein.
