Atlanta Braves Look Invincible

[SUPERCOACH]

Careful now, they may use up their whole quota of wins here in the first week.

Lost 4-3 to Mets. Those d**n SEC Refs cheated them out of a victory.

Since everyone is so bored due to lack of football/college basketball/Tide baseball in Omaha I thought I would add to the boredom by talking about the Atlanta Braves.

BRAVES MLB STATS

Hitting

Average:  .232  28th (out of 30)
RBI's:       179  30th
Runs         188  30th
HR's            25  (next worst team has 50) Braves have played 60 games so far


Pitching:

ERA     4.40  28th
Saves  10  (Braves led NL in saves & had best closer on MLB in Craig Kimbrel who at age 27 was traded away.   
                  Kimbrel had 186 saves in 5 years. He was given away in order to get rid of B.J. Upton salary.)



How long do Braves fans accept this garbage and lousy excuses? Does anyone truly believe in a miraculous turn around in 2 years? Just wondering.

No. 

  , ABSOLUTELY NO! RTR!

If Freeman, Atl's best hitter, were to raise his average .36 points he could match their winning pct of .286.  Shoot for the stars Freddie!

Floundering around in mediocrity while carrying a $250M payroll isn't exactly a good time either.

They dumped all their big time salaries & now have a team payroll of $81 mil, 27th lowest out of 30 teams.

Dodgers are an interesting study in baseball economics. For many, many years they refused to go crazy in the free agent market & relied on a strong farm system. For 40 years they had one of the best minor league system in all of MLB. The fact the Dodgers have the biggest payroll in all of baseball is shocking to me. It shows a certain desperation to win now in my opinion. They haven't won the World Series since 1988. Their favorite team, the SF Giants have won 3 in the last 6 years.

It really went down hill after the O'Malley family sold the team, and the front office changed.  The Rupert Murdoch years were not kind.  

It's turning back around, though.  The ownership and current front office were very vocal that big free agent spending was temporary and a result of the poor farm system management over the last several years.  Now the farm system is healthy again, and the big contributors this year (besides Clayton Kershaw who is home grown but has been there long enough to get the big contract) are not the big money free agent guys.  The production is coming from the future core - Seager, Pederson, etc.

Freddie Freeman hit for the cycle last night for the Braves. I expect him to be traded immediately.

Knowing the genius's running the team, they will get a 34 year old left-handed shortstop with bad knees for Freeman.

Don't look now, but the Braves have won 3 in a row.

I've watched more Braves baseball this week than I have all year. I will admit though, they don't have many big name players but they seem to play with more energy than they did with all the high dollar players.
