I'm just saying that I don't think the black community would endear themselves to him quite as much as they would to, say, Michael Harris, who is a young black budding star from the heart of Atlanta.

Such a Riley and Olson who are consummate professional and classy baseball players?

You know, weÂ’ve already weathered a bit of that. Ronald missed a year. Ozzie missed most of a year. The deals still look good without perfect health.

104 wins and 103 expected wins is not one of the best teams ever. Best offense ever? Sure.
If it's over 100 wins it doesn't really matter man. 100+ wins, record setting offense, and a WS title would put this team on par with the 27 and 98 Yankees and 75 Reds, etc.

Pretty good division - 3 playoff teams.
Not sure how playing every team now would factor in.

How many games did this team punt though, rotating through AAA depth starters, for the sake of giving their main starters extra rest? If this was a tight playoff race would Dodd ever have started as many games as he did?

I mean, that doesn’t really matter when it comes to actual results. Dodgers had the league wrapped up in April last year and still won 111 games.

This season has been a useful illustration of just how powerful the pull toward median expectations can be in baseball. It's a long season, and there are these really strong forces pulling even the best teams back toward the pack. 104 wins is obviously phenomenal, but it's been done a bunch of other times. There were times this season where it looked like we could win 108-110 games, something truly extraordinary. But then you clinch the division, let off the gas for a bit, and all of a sudden you've lost four in a row. And then it's the last series of the season, and you don't really care that much, and you start Allan Winans and Dylan Dodd, and so you lose two of three to the Nationals. It's kind of striking how easy it is to fall off the pace.

factoring in injuries and everything, I think you could say this might be the best team in history with the offense and a WS title.. But to do that, Mort has to get healthy and this team needs to blow through the playoffs with offensive destruction. If that happens, then I think this team could go down as one of the greatest in history. Easily Braves history. I wont let 10 or so wins within a 162 game grind sway my opinion..
