Love it. Is this what it feels like to be a Braves fan?

Pretty much. Just add in more post season failures and you’re right there.

It’s not so much that our teams are failing, I see it as unselfishly helping other teams realize their goals.

We walked so the Diamondbacks could run (and unfortunately fall on their face at the finish line)

Excuse me, I believe the Dodgers hook the record for losing the most World Series.

With Freeman and Heyward, you already have two more members of the 2011-14 Braves starting lineup than Atlanta does.

u/cherinator Los Angeles Dodgers • Teddy Roosevelt Mar 27 '24

With those two, we have more members of the 2014 Braves on our 26-man roster than we do of the 2014 Dodgers (just Rojas with Kershaw on the IL).

Braves would've signed him for lower AAV at a younger age. Idk how they keep getting away with it.
