Absolutely.
How good are the Braves in your opinion?
Another team that wasn't supposed to really, you know, shine maybe a couple years from now with all the things that they did in the minor league systems and what they've done over recent drafts.
But how good is this Braves team?
The Braves team is very good, and I think people took last year's down year too much of a E- teams are gonna have down years.
It happens.
If you're not the Los Angeles Dodgers or the New York Yankees, you do have a crappy year every once in a while that you'll, you're under 500, and that's what the Braves had last year, so everybody thought that that era of the Braves were done.
Keep in mind, this team won a World Series this decade.
So they've always had the talent, they've always had the farm system.
They just had one bad year where everything went against them, and boom, they're right back to where they are.
This one doesn't surprise me as much as the Rays do.
I actually had the Braves competing with the Phillies and the Mets for the division this year.
We all know what happened to the Mets, and the Phillies gave it a run and were right back in it for a couple of minutes, but now they're back seven and a half 'cause they went up against the mighty Miami Marlins for a weekend.
So I do think the Braves are for real.
I don't think they beat the Dodgers.
I'm not sure anybody beats the Dodgers, but I think the Braves will be there at the end.
