I wish Acuña could have been with this team but the GM did a great job to scrap together an outfield to compete. I don't expect to get too far with this bullpen.

Regardless....they have won more Division titles than any franchise....21.

Playoffs are a crap shoot. Braves 14 straight divisional titles is one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of sport. As the Phillies know all too well you have to make the playoffs before you can try to win a World Series.

Actually the bullpen isn’t too bad. Unfortunately, their closer, Will Smith, is a modern day Don Stanhouse.

The Braves keep churning out good young talent:

Albies -- 24 yrs old
Austin Riley -- 24
Acuna -- 24
Dansby Swanson -- 27
Ian Anderson -- 23

Here's something even smarter:

How the Acuna, Albies deals affect Braves payroll

The most significant development of the first two weeks of the Braves’ season occurred off the field: the signing of outfielder Ronald Acuna and second baseman Ozzie Albies to new long-term contracts. The deals could keep Acuna, 21, and Albies, 22, with the Braves past their 30th birthdays while...

Wait, are you saying that deal is working out better than the Phillies locking up Scott Kingery?

Ouch.

The Phillies stink
The Eagles stink
The Flyers stink
The 76ers and smelling worse every day

As a Braves fan I feel uneasy that they both signed so low. Where's the catch. 🤷‍♂️

Doing that tomahawk crap at the tailgate tomorrow may get you rolled down the hill!

The problem is the geriatric owners being satisfied in going to the ballpark, eating a good meal, and going home secure in the knowledge they are making money. They don’t give a rat’s ass about winning, and they refuse to sell to Middleton, which would put him in total charge

The most well-earned Braves divisional title was 1993. They call it "the last great pennant race" because it was before realignment, I guess.

That was a great Giant team. How they lost 59 games that season is beyond me.

 

[LafayetteBear]

Henry Aaron played for the Braves. That alone gives them permanent cred with me.

Giants fans are STILL pissed about winning 103 and missing the playoffs.

Hank made $35,000 in 1959, the same as he made in 1958.
However, candy bars were still a nickal, also same as in 1958.

The Phillies beat the Braves to win the pennant. https://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/1993_NLCS.shtml

You could be right my friend.

 

[Waste Management Consultant]

That’s cool….but the Buccos will get yet another top 5 draft choice to trade or to take KeBryan Hayes’s place when they trade him away in 2-3 years ….you can keep your Braves.
