You were offered a graceful exit, then just keep running your mouth off. Now, could you please kindly STFU?

The arrows next to the quotes make it even easier! : D Double thanks, btw. Only expected this to be 1 or 2 post banter with Zeets.

Not mad at all. Besides, '95 put a stop to that once and for all.

The weakness on the '92 Braves team was closer. That's why they lost. I never said that the '93 Braves were better than the WS champions. Just that they were better than the 2 previous Braves trams from '91, '92. If you're going to call me out, don't quote me out of context. This board...

Yeah, so? That was about the rosters, not decisions that Cox made.

I didn't mention anything specifically in this thread about Cox in the playoffs. That must've been somebody else.

Can't think of anyone who believes that the '91 Twins and '92 Blue Jays were better teams than the Braves. The '93 Braves were better than the 2 previous rosters (Maddux, Crime Dog). The '96 Yankees didn't exactly outclass either.

Cox had A LOT to do with Fredi becoming the replacement, simply because Fredi had been a Cox lieutenant. Plus, Fredi had to get bounced from Florida. Cox called up and put Marlins management on blast, but it should have been obvious who the next Braves manager was going to be.

Reading the comments there, damn, is that place ever an idiot feasting ground.

At least nobody's in here soiling himself about Lucroy.

Great for DHing when interleague starts.

Traded, like HH keeps insisting.

The Twins went "worst to first" also in that same season. Of course it's not unheard of but it was not predictable. Everybody picked them to be in last place again. Several players had career years, which were equally not predictable.

When somebody is ambitious enough to compile several years of data, demonstrating a direct correlation, then we can discuss. Otherwise, somebody just claiming "from memory" isn't a whole lot to go on.

As OP pointed out, the increased win total in '91 could not have been predicted. Otherwise, unless somebody shows accurate projections, the reaction is just "yeah, uh huh."
