We did it

People joked about letting the Marlins get into the playofs. Well the Braves were instrumental in allowing the Marlins in over the Cubs. Would be hilarious to have the Marlins knock out the Phillies.

As a team they have a 108 WRC+ which is 11th best in baseball.

Between NLDS Game 1 and Georgia-Kentucky, Saturday will be nerve wracking for me.

I can see that. The AL is wide open

I think it will be Orioles vs Braves.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I don't want to have to root against Baltimore. I'd personally like to see us exorcise whatever spell it is Toronto has on us.

MLB.com can be a joke sometimes. They have the top 50 players in the postseason and it is just bad. A lot of love for the Dodgers with Mookie #1 and FF #3.. but then you start going down the list and you see guys like schwarber and Munchy but no mention of Ozuna who is better than both those guys by a good bit. It is comical. Heck they even have Riley and Murphy listed. I am not sure how they compiled this list but it is a joke.

 

[drewdat]

Why would they list our backup catcher in the top 50?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

The O's might be the worst team in the field to have a first round bye. Young group without a lot of playoff experience. Seems like a trap series for them come Divisional play.
