It was basically “last years playoffs will happen the exact same way this year

Your trolling of Braves fans will never die. I appreciate the consistency at least.


How is it a troll when I pleaded with braves fans to make monetary bets with me & no one would

Ah message board bets. A sure sign you are dealing with someone who is super serious.

Calling out a shitty prediction isn’t butthurt.

Says the guy who thinks they are entrenched because they have a 3 game lead with half the season left

But I’m throwing out clown takes

He didn’t say that.

He only said there’s a big enough sample to say this season isn’t a fluke.

Yeah and now you’re throwing out straw men.

It was certainly implied. It surely isn’t a big enough sample size to prove that it isn’t a fluke.

& having only a 3 game lead certainly certainly backs my stance up, NOT his, which he hilariously thought otherwise.


If you don’t believe it, don’t say it. Bringing up a 3 game lead to hammer his point was silly. I don’t participate in straw man arguments.

Half of a season while being top 5 in almost every hitting category?

I’m starting to think boom is your alter or brother.

Brewers no pitching
Breweres have the 6th lowest ERA in the MLB, better than Los Angeles and Washington. And that's been without Jimmy Nelson who they're still expecting back this season.

Sounds like you might need a lesson on sustainability . Here is just a microcosm

Ozzie Albies 1st 40 games

13 hr 31 rbi 277/312/588

Ozzie Albies last 40 games

4 hr 17 rbi 273/319/426

Now Ozzie’s stat line of 17 Hr 50 Rbi sure is impressive, and these counting stats obviously count toward th numbers you cite. Doesn’t mean it will keep pace, as he has proved. Nick Markakis’ .390 babip has proved to be unsustainable as we have seen. Still playing well as is Albies but they are no longer putting up other world stats.

The Chances of the braves sustaining a top 5 offensive pace is a lot less likely than it is likely. This isn’t some concept I’ve made up to troll you.

You don’t want to go to war with those guys just like you crashed last year. Bullpen is good, starters are worse. Plus you can’t beat the cubs.

I give the slight edge to the Astros over the Red Sox. The Astros are a better, more complete team than the squad that won the World Series last year. As for the NL, I'm going to stick with my original predicton.The Nationals will finally make a deep postseason run and will come out of the National League this year. Their offense has been a massive disappointment but there's too much talent for them not to figure it out eventually. The back end of their bullpen is much better than it has been in previous years and it'll pay off in the postseason.

You act like some baseball expert but then have wild assumptions and change the argument without refuting what was originally said.

You're a less entertaining version of Boom

So his HR and RBI went down, but slash stayed the same outside of slugging? And he’s not sustaining it.

Yea he overperformed on HR and RBI, but is hitting the same average.
