What's wrong with Kyle Wright? Sure he hasn't been great in the majors but it's a very small sample size, he was dominant in AAA and he's still regarded as a top tier prospect.

Like seriously we could be looking at the second coming of the Braves having an incredible starting rotation. The pieces are all there.
It'll be a hell of a thing to see, especially if Soroka stops tearing his achilles every other year

He has been Not Great overall but he was good as hell for one game last postseason and tonight but not good enough for him to play in the Majors a single time this season even as the Braves were bad as hell most of the year.

It sucks but the last five years have been a hell of a ride, and if Correa comes back there's a chance to take a few more shots if they add some pitching. I never foresaw the Astros making it to the WS this season when it started so it's been awesome even in defeat.

Yeah, this is easier to take IMO than losing to the Nationals in 7 (which was fine, really, but the whole 7 road team wins thing was just flabbergasting)... and in turn, that was easier to take than losing to the Red Sox in the 2018 ALCS.

If we'd won that, we'd likely beaten the Dodgers again as we had Verlander and Cole still (but then ofc after the scandal broke both wins would have been equally tarred in most people's eyes, so... for what it's worth).

Mostly the Rangersfan half, though. Even the chuds who root for the Astros aren't gonna forgive the Braves for ending our 2021 WS hopes so easily just because the Donald did the chop.

It still blows my mind that the Braves made the World Series this season much less have a 3-1 series lead. It is far from over but only having to get one more win is a great feeling.

I finally finishing watching this and goodness. Yeah, the Falcons are fantastic at blowing big leads but that definitely is a larger lead than they have managed to blow. The Falcons blow theirs in the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl instead of the Wild Card round though, and lmao at Buffalo managing to make 4 Super Bowls without winning poo poo.

Anyway, let's go Braves, win the World Series on Halloween.

And then the Oilers left Houston forever a couple years later, as if to tie a bow on it.

But yes...

Happy Halloween! If the Braves do finish the Astros off as a trick or a treat, it'll be the first time in years the WS didn't extend into November, iirc.
