Well the Braves haven’t changed much

Although it was a big surprise and should be just a bonus they won the division
It just reminds me of the hay day and their playoff chit show .

felt like they had this game. Puig hits a popfly into right

field and appeared as if Markakis was jogging after it thinking albies would get there. Then of course we give up a 2 out 2 run single to a pinch hitter. had a 2-2 count on him and threw a terrible pitch along with a terrible idea. try to get him to chase up. that's a pitch for 0-2, 1-2. He didnt chase made it 3-2 and then throws a pitch down the middle.

I have been a Braves fan pretty much my entire life...

and no one who follows the Braves closely really expected much of a run in the playoffs.
They simply don't have the pitching; especially out of the bullpen.

Walks were a HUGE problem this year. Man I hope AA goes out and brings Kimbrel back. Could really use a lock down closer to end games.

Just gotta pay the man. I think it can be done. Braves need to focus on pitching this offseason.

bringing in a multi million dollar reliever.
Kimbrell currently make $13 million annually. He will be a free agent at the end of the 2018 season and could resign for upwards of $90 million.
The Braves simply won't pay that. Heck, very few teams can even realistically consider it.

Add Markakis hitting cleanup to the list. He's gone. Lineup needs serious power increase. See Dodger lineup ?? Pitchers have figured out Albies. Freddy faded second half power #'s. TIME TO SHOP!! The revenue is there!

Can anyone tell me why they pulled Folty? I’m starting to get a little tired of Snit and his pitching changes along with still having Flaherty on the bench.

They pulled Folty for a pinch hitter. That’s how the two runs were scored. Suzuki came through the down side was the bullpen had to hold up for the rest of the game which of course we all knew was impossible

This Braves Team was fun to watch this year

If you watched them all year, you knew they weren’t getting past NLDS. They have young pitchers that just need some experience.
The Braves are absolutely loaded with young talent throughout farm system. One might argue they have stockpiled the most young talent of pitchers in all the Major Leagues. They have plenty to trade and upgrade.
The Braves will won a World Series in the next 5 years.

than anyone could have hoped. They were fun to watch, had true team chemistry, and genuinely enjoyed the game.
A great year, and Brighter days ahead for them in my view.

MyfavOrange nailed there are better days ahead. They have most of the pieces in place. They need another starting pitcher and to shore up their bullpen. Any time that can win their division 14 consecutive years is a special team.
I doubt we will ever see 3 starters like Smoltz , Glavine and Maddox in all together in a Braves uniform. The you have Chipper Jones , Fred McGriff, Andrew Jones, Javey Lopez and others just as talented on a Braves Team.
But if the Braves get the right pieces IMO they will win another WS.
The Braves of the 90’s and 2000’s do not get the praise they deserve.

Told my son all year that they are good enough to win their division with great hitting and position players however they don’t have the pitching to make a run in the playoffs. The sort of reminded me of tiger baseball team this year.

It reminded me of the 90's post-season stress I'd been missing.
