I kept digging and the Astros had three top five finishers in 99. Hampton, Billy Wagner, and LIMA TIME BAP BAP BAP Randy won the top spot of course, there's no hope against prime Randy The race between Randy and Hampton was much closer than it should have been in votes because lol pitcher wins Hampton was 22-4 and Randy was 17-9, but Randy had a 9.1 bWAR to Hampton's 6.7 (yes I know pitcher WAR but whatever) e: thought for sure the mid 90s Braves would have that going on but the closest they got to that was 95 where something called Pete Schourek finished 2nd ahead of Glavine while Maddux won the whole thing Maddux/Glavine were 1/2 in 92, but Maddux was still a Cub Intruder fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Sep 30, 2019 |

Randy Johnson still remains my favorite pitcher I've ever watched. Felix is up there but Prime Randy with his mullet was just a delight.

Astros-era Justin Verlander has turned into my favorite pitcher ever. He is so utterly dominant in 90% of his starts and it's going to suck when he finally declines. His WHIP this year was .803. *checks what the Tigers return pieces for Verlander are doing* Oh. Hmm, well that was a massively one-sided trade.

See above. Also, Sam Holbrook is probably fine in that I mostly recognize him for just that one ludicrous call but please don't troll me, MLB.

Should have just put the glove in his chest

What's worse, losing a perfect game on a bad call or losing what would have been the final out of the World Series on a bad call and then ending up losing the series? Denkinger still wins e: oh my god I Mandela Effected the poo poo out of that, I always thought there were two outs, that would have been the first out?

Joey Freshwater posted:Yeah but what I said was haven't won a playoff series. Idk what point you're trying to make but the Braves haven't been relevant for a long time, which is what I also said. They're a competitive franchise who haven't experienced the crushing depths of failure like, say, half of baseball has in the last 20 years. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Atlanta_Braves_seasons#Record_by_decade You can see their win percentage by decade (last time they lost 100 games was 1988! 88!) - they've been winners overall each decade since the 80s, and even then, they weren't so bad they got a movie about their historic failure. The Braves are one of the teams that, in recent history, has done well and generally been successful. I dig that you love the team, though.

I mean, the Braves aren't quite some long suffering franchise. They've done well in the regular season most years, they won 14* division titles in a row between 1991-2005. They went to the World Series 5 (!) times during the 90s, even if they were only successful once. Our recent postseason history isn't that great, though. We joke about the fact that the Nationals have never won a postseason series. Here are the last 8 postseason series of the Braves: code:

One of my all time favorite non-Indians baseball moments was him going down to the bullpen in game 5 of the 1995 ALDS and then coming in to an insane crowd reaction. They started yelling the moment he walked down to that bullpen and went apeshit when he came to the mound. That and when he struck out the last batter of the game to beat the Angels and send the Mariners to the playoffs in the first place.
