You play to win the game, hello? Man how many titles would we have had in the mid to late 90s if we would have had a dynamic duo like Kimbrel and Venters?

Cool story Rico. I always maintain that the Leyritz homer off Wohlers was the nail in the coffin for the Braves to become an elite dynasty. If it weren't for that event, history rewrites itself drastically different. We would have had 2 World Series championships and the confidence to probably...

Heck no to JD! That guy is the modern day Reggie Sanders and we saw how that worked out for us in 2000. Those are exactly the type of guys we need to stay away from...free swingers who got power. Give me somebody like Neck who has a professional at bat almost every time he steps to the plate...

October 6th, 1999. Nuff said, the finest postseason performance from a pitcher ever.

And y'all thought Fredi was crazy for benching him in favor of Constanza.

I guarantee that Bartolo Colon and Jake Peavy will be in the rotation next year.

Not only that but when your going against a great starting pitcher or even reliever you wear them down by making them throw more pitches. Just look at us vs the Yanks in the mid to late 90s. They had a lineup full of grinders. Guys like Knoblauch, Jeter, O'Neil, Bernie, Tino, etc would take...

I'm torn on McDowell. I believe the guy is amongst the top of his profession. He's had a number of success stories, especially retread relievers that come here and have success. On the other hand the amount of arm injuries during his tenure and young pitchers not taking the next step we're...

BRAVE NEW WORLD Manager: Bud Black Bench Coach: Brian Snitker Advanced Analytics Assistant Mgr: DeRosa Hitting Coach: Kevin Seitzer Asst Hitting Coach: Chipper Jones Pitching Coach: Roger McDowell First Base Coach: Terry Pendleton Third Base Coach: Fredi Gonzalez Bullpen Coach: Eddie...

When is Fredi's interview? Everyone deserves a second chance.

Lots of great teams, lots of good memories, but damn it seemed like that place was cursed. Nice stadium but just didn't seem as intimate (nor intimidating for opponents) like Fulton County was.

LOL Folty would melt like nacho cheese in a microwave if even the tought came to him to appear in a playoff game. Outstanding stuff but comparing him to Smoltz is absurd. Yes I know Smoltz had his issues early on in his career, but that was more related to confidence than anything after elbow...

It's time to go all in. We have a chance at a championship with the right moves, so we need to go for it. Is it a little far fetched? Probably, but whose to say that our odds are going to be any better 2-3-5 years from now?

Let me tell you something right now, I believe we're gonna get Mac, Prado, Sale, and Archer this offseason.

Still don't believe?

That was AWESOME!

No it doesn't rain everyday, but we haven't one a single playoff series since 2001. Think about that, 2001.....15 freakin years ago. We've lost 8 straight World Series games. And we haven't won the damn thing in 11 years despite having multiple playoff teams with HOFer's on it, and after the run...

Freeman is having a career year, folks, that is all. I expect him to be the same old 850 OPS guy going forward that he was before.

He's not ready.....at all. This outta be like Andy Marte facing nothing but HOFers,

Who cares, they're gonna get rocked Chuck James/Kyle Davies style once they reach the bigs.
