Note to Ex-Braves fans. You need to come back or at least get a look at the nucleus of what looks to be a promising future. This franchise has found some guys that can play. They're over .500 since the All Star break. They have one guy, Matt Kemp, that is over 100 RBI's and will hit 30+ home runs. Freeman is over .300 and has a good shot of reaching 100 RBI's. Their lead off hitter, Ender Inciarte, has the most hits in MLB since the All Star break and is one of the best center fielders in the game. For reference, watch ESPN Top 10. He saved the game with a 9th inning leap over the wall to take a 2 out, winning HR away from Yoenis Cespedes of the Mets, who by the way, the Braves just swept in NY. Say thank you St. Louis.
They've solidified 3rd base and SS with Adonis Garcia and Vanderbilt's, Dansby Swanson. Both incredible up and coming players. I've stuck with them all year and suddenly, they're playing great ball and they're pumped like it's the playoffs.
Look, I know I'm pimping a club 30 games under .500. But I'm telling you, you can start to see a method to the madness. You add a couple of solid starters to the rotation and a couple more veteran sticks, and this team is going to be really fun to watch next year.
