Are the Braves as hopeless as it may seem?

[Heyward]

Whoop-de-doo.

Good response coming from you.

Not shocked.

 

[Heyward]

2 more than we will probab ly win in the 2014-2015 stretch

Most likely but we werent making the playoffs next year if they kept Heyward/Justin.

The moves were right to be made.

Giants won two World Series in that same span. If the Braves were great what were the Giants? If great is winning zero playoff series, I don't know what the word is to describe what the Giants were.

 

[USMA76]

As to the original question, I'll be shocked if we lose fewer than 90 games.

This is looking like the mid to late 1980s again, unfortunately.

 

[Gary82]

The Braves from 2010-2013 were great.

2010,2012-2013 were good teams.

For some reason the season was canceled in 2011.

Super-great?

 

[Runnin]

So our cleanup hitters' greatest offensive strength is the bunt.

I'm not shocked that you continue to make worthless posts.

Are you as unhappy as you always sound?

 

[CyYoung31]

Are you as unhappy as you always sound?

WTF are you talking about?

 

[thethe]

More wins than any other team in that span. Not debatable.

Just not sure how great can be used without any semblance of post season success. It was a really good string of years thiugh.

Postseason success is great and all, but people put too much emphasis on it.

I don't know about you but I get much more pumped over a postseason win than a win in April.

 

[sturg33]

Unless you think postseason is a better representation of the quality of a team than the previous 162 games... which I do not.

Why do people compete at anything?

The MLB playoffs is like shooting a thousand jumpers in your lifetime and then at some point having to make 1 jumper to save your life. All those jumpers you've previously practiced give you a better chance to make that jumper, but the odds of hitting it are still 40%.

So you think the World Series winner is always the best team in all of baseball?

Only y9u are shooting those jumpers against great teams with better defenders so hitting that jumper at the same percentage in the playoffs is actually a greater acheivement.

Not always but we aren't talking about a brave team that won it 1 out of 10 years. We are talking about a team that historically always comes up short. Especially the most recent version.

 

[Julio3000]

I would take another 14 division title streak over 1 World Series and 10 years of suck. I'd rather watch a good baseball team for 6 months every year than stare at a trophy for the same period of time.
