Welp, not the outcome I wanted, but congrats to the Braves. They made the plays that mattered.
Some great surprises this year (full season, not just the WS)
- Brantley and Yuli battling for the batting title
- The emergence of Chas, Myer, and Siri
- McCullers growing into the ace role, with Framber growing into a top of the rotation guy
- Garcia growing into a solid starter
- Trade deadline acquisitions in the BP made a weakness into a strength
- Correa staying healthy all year
- Tucker emerging after his ice cold start of the year
- Yordan coming back from last years surgeries and continuing to smash the ball
Plenty of negatives, too. And plenty of things for the FO to focus on in the off season. Hopefully they can keep the ride going and be in the hunt for a 5th WS appearance next year (and 2nd WS title!).
