GDT 8/28/22: Braves @ Cardinals - The Rubber Match

[USMA76]

20 years from now, no one will remember who won the 2021 World Series. They’ll remember that the Braves won 14 straight division titles.

...and never stop throwing "but only one World Series win with four hall of famers" in our faces.

20 years from now, no one will remember who won the 2021 World Series. They’ll remember that the Braves won 14 straight division titles.

If the 2022 champs are the same as the 2021, people are more likely to remember which organization it was.

 

[CyYoung31]

Will someone inform ESPN that there’s a baseball game on?

 

[CyYoung31]

If the 2022 champs are the same as the 2021, people are more likely to remember which organization it was.

Agree with that. People remember great accomplishments and dynasties.

Will someone inform ESPN that there’s a baseball game on?

Just continuing yesterday from Fox's coverage.

 

[jsebe10]

Grossman’s nickname is “In play, out(s)”

 

[bravesnumberone]

Not the point. We don’t win a division title without him.

Even 12 consecutive division titles would have been a record. And they won the division by 10 games. JS likely would have been able to find someone. Braves might have made a couple deeper playoff runs with Wainwright.

 

[The Tariff King]

Agree with that. People remember great accomplishments and dynasties.

People are still debating whether the Giants had a dynasty because they didn't win it in consecutive years.

3 in 5 years is still elite (2010, 2012, 2014), with mostly the same core of players.

 

[CyYoung31]

That’s the third line drive hit right at Edman.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Another one of those might where the hard hits are outs

 

[Garmel]

93 and 105 mph outs.

 

[Heyward]

People are still debating whether the Giants had a dynasty because they didn't win it in consecutive years.

3 in 5 years is still damn good (2010, 2012, 2014).

3 in 5 years is a dynasty, without question.

 

[The Tariff King]

Even 12 consecutive division titles would have been a record. And they won the division by 10 games. JS likely would have been able to find someone. Braves might have made a couple deeper playoff runs with Wainwright.

Considering the streak ended in 2006, Waino would have been wasted for years on our team.

 

[msstate7]

Man, this feels like a loss.

 

[Garmel]

If the Braves did it I'd be happy.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Considering the streak ended in 2006, Waino would have been wasted for years on our team.

Maybe, but he sure would have been nice to have on the 2010 and 2013 teams.

 

[The Tariff King]

If the Braves did it I'd be happy.

Build the statue for Anthopolous after the second one already.

 

[UNCBlue012]

So, you’re okay with the Braves effort level so far?

not really. If you lose even one game, you’re not trying hard

 

[CyYoung31]

Considering the streak ended in 2006, Waino would have been wasted for years on our team.

Well, that 2006 should’ve been a wild card. They underplayed their expected W/L by 10 games. That was the weakest year in NL history. That 2006 team only scored 50 less runs than the 2003 team. With Wainright to go with Smoltz and Hudson, we would’ve been tough to beat.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Waino also might've helped us reach the playoffs in 2009. But wasn't that the year the Rockies won like 22 of 24 down the stretch?
