As I’ve said many times ... A team built to win 100 games and draw 3 million fans in a season is rarely the same team that is built to win 3 out of 5 games or 4 out of 7 games in a post-season series. We saw it with the Braves in the 1990s, the Yankees over the last decade, and the Dodgers in the last couple of years.
You had to bring up the Braves. :(
We had a better record than the Nats and beat them head to head over 19 games in the season.... but no.......
I had to witness live the Braves get demolished in game 5 against the red birds. 26 minutes of pure torture.
Only 114 days until Spring Training - http://www.springtrainingcountdown.com/
Also, the Detroit Tigers in the 2010s. They had Verlander, Scherzer, David Price, Rick Porcello, and Anibal Sanchez as a starting five and couldn’t get it done in the playoffs. 3 of those guys are in this year’s World Series...the other two won it last year.
