Title: Braves Baseball 2018 Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 22, 2018, 09:33:21 AM I know there is an all-sports thread on the board but I want to talk specifically about the Atlanta Braves. They are leading the Eastern Division of the NL. They have been a huge surprise all year, with timely hitting, solid pitching especially from the starters and decent Bullpen relief, most of the time. Their team stats are awesome:
NL Team Stats-Atlanta 1st Batting Average 2nd Runs Scored 1st Doubles (a sign of power & speed) 7th Home Runs 2nd RBI 6th ERA 8th Saves 15th Walks Allowed (MOST ALLOWED!) 5th Runs Allowed (5th lowest) These stats give a good all around indication of the Braves performance this year. Without a complete collapse, they will win their division. In the National League, both the Cubs & Dodgers have returned from the baseball graveyard after slow starts and may make the playoffs, too. Overall though, the NL looks totally overmatched by AL teams like the Red Sox, Yanks, & Astros. Interesting playoffs are coming to MLB. :popcorn2: Title: Re: Braves Baseball 2018 Post by: ricky023 on September 22, 2018, 10:18:32 AM Hey MD thanks for thew stats. I have actually wondered why we haven't heard the normal outcry about the manager? I also was guilty of this last couple of years. RTR!

I wanted to go to the new stadium but screwed up and never made a game. :pullhair: :wall: :facepalm: Title: Re: Braves Baseball 2018 Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 22, 2018, 03:40:42 PM Braves beat Phillies and win Eastern Division title.
