The best “save” of Kimbrel’s career was the $60 million he saved the Braves, and offloading the Upton brothers was huge for future growth. Shelby Miller fell off a cliff after they traded him away which was a huge timing bet gone right for the Braves. You might have considered mentioning that those mid-teen Frank Wren years proved that buying up big free agents isn’t always a key to access unless you have AL East money (i.e. Yankees). When the Braves got away from the farm system development and resorted to free agent shopping they had their worst years. Great video, buddy, keep ‘em comin!

@@augie2802 As a METS fan,I hope you’re right😂. I just don’t think you are. This team is for real. Yet baseball is a strange game full of surprises. “We shall see said the blind man”.
@@miguel.ledesmaledesma1790 so they weren't for real last year? Or the Dodgers for that matter? All I'm saying is they're good yes but October baseball is another beast ala 2022. Last year they blamed the playoff system and yet they had a week off before their divisional series and lost to a hot team. Everyone has them a shoe in for the WS but c'mon anything can happen. Let's pump the break and let it play out lol
I was pretty wary when the Braves started the rebuilding process. It rarely seems to work swiftly with teams often seemingly in the process of a perpetual rebuild like the Royals were for 30 years. But it worked out pretty well with the Braves not blowing a ton of money on an aging big name and getting their pieces in for the long term. Still a bit sore that Freddie left but Olson, while not quite Freddie, has really come and shown why the Braves were willing to give up so much for him.
SIMPLE AND INFORMATIVE GRAPHICS. I love it man. I literally started watching baseball in 2014 when I moved to Atlanta. This is everything I have ever known as a Braves fan.
One thing I've wondered sometimes is if Coppy ever really had a plan to start competing. When he was fired/banned, it didn't seem like the team was ready to compete yet. When Anthopoulos was hired, he flipped the switch and here we are.
As a Mets fan, it’s so impressive how much the braves transformed their organization. I just hope that our sell off this year is a sign of things to come as well
The Kimbrel trade definitely wasn't "centered around Maybin". He was an afterthought. Wisler and the draft pick were the main part of the deal. It was largely to unload BJ Upton, as well.
It's amazing that acúna Jr tore his ACL and didn't lose any speed. Usually when you tear your ACL, you lose some speed. At the very least it takes you awhile to trust it mentally.
One correction is on 2018 Draft. He didn't sign with the Braves, not because he chose to play in Japan, but because he was offered a signing bonus below value of the slot due to him having a wrist injury at the time. He declined, and then went to play 1 year of college ball to be eligible for the 2019 draft, but in May was offered a deal by Fukuoka to play in Japan instead.
John Schuerholz taught me a valuable piece of info when talkin about this subject. He was part of the Royals when George Brett was drafted. He was the GM in 85 when they won the WS. He was complimented on his genius in putting that team together. His response was, "Yeah. Genius. I drafted Brett in the 2nd round. If I was so smart, what wete we doing in the 1st round. The point is, that you can draft, trade and develope to your hearts content, but you never really know that Acuna is going to be Acuna until he becomes Acuna. Don't get me wrong. The Braves have done an amazing job. But there is an element of throwing darts. Teams that develope their ok talent to good and good to better. like the Braves tend to spend a lot of time leading their division. But this team also benefits from some fortunate talent. Acuna and Strider in particular. Dodgers, Giants, Astros and Rays are some of the other good teams at this.
They’ve got the pieces in place now to be successful for a hot minute meanwhile they can rebuild the farm system before our core comes up for some big contracts.
it wasn't about playing the phillies it was about the unfortunate situation with that Braves team's health. Max fried sick with a stomach virus Spencer strider not fully back from oblique tear with 0 rehab time ( leading up to the game Snit literally said we'd be lucky to get 3 innings out of strider and that he was on strict pitch count) as well as the would be replacements pitchers from AAA (Huscar Ynoa and Ian Anderson) were also both injured and unavailable. So wrong time? yes. wrong team? No. Braves would have won that series if they were healthy. no doubt.
Newcomb had so much potential because he had nasty stuff. But, If he was just a tad more consistent, he would have been a solid get for the Braves. Unfortunately, he would have 1 good game every 3-4 starts.
At 4:48, I was unaware that Freddie Freeman a first baseman could post an ERA+. I'm assuming you meant 132 OPS+ At 17:33, You tell the story like Freddie walked and then they went out and got Matt Olson but that's not true at all. They made the Olson deal and Freddie only walked and signed with the Dodgers afterwards. Now you could argue Freddie's holdout on the years (No he didn't hold out for more money, he wanted another year on the contract guaranteed) played into that decision and you wouldn't be wrong because he did force their hand. But they did in fact trade for Olson before Freddie walked not the other way around
What actually happened was Freddie’s agent kept turning down offers from Braves without communicating to Freddie. The Braves saw they were weren’t going to get a deal done so they went and got Olson as to not be without high level 1B. Freddie’s agent was the problem not the Braves or Freddie himself. This is why he fired his agent early on the 2022 season.

Love the majoras mask transition screens 😂
The thing is, as a braves fan since 1991: we always expect to be great, so I knew the rebuild wouldn't be long

You covered the Braves pretty well in this, thank you! Much love from GA
Good not great. TBD on that. Meanwhile this team will probably flame out against a really hot wild card team come Oct ala 2022, book it.

This is Braves Country baby
As a Georgia native and diehard Braves fan I agree he was spot on with our rebuild

I miss Freddie too but he went home and Mattlanta came home

He got us Acuna and Freddie at least
Great video.
Excellent video.
I know it took alot of research
Again thsnks gor the video
As a Braves fan I am so Happy

I just hope that our sell off this year is a sign of things to come as well
as a braves fan i hope its not , let us keep running the east 😂
Very good made video my guy, very much appreciated
Same

Well done sir. Upvote given.
Riley is on 🔥
I was just wishing there was a video about this. Well done
Nice breakdown. Not a complaint but if you clean up the delivery some, it’ll enhance your vids. Which will come with repetition.
They must continue to be sharp on point accurate precise detail together calculated
Appreciate the work.
Awesome video man. Thanks for making it.

Braves fan since 86. Subbed and liked. Hope u get some subscribers bro.
great video
Good video but when you said the deepest pitching staff in Braves history I laughed.
Nice break down of the Braves, with the stars they have they should be able to win a couple more WS.
Baltimore orioles Next ✌️
Great video. Just subbed for ya. Keep bringing Braves content!
W vid earned my subbed

Strongly agree!
Do a update my guy 🔥🔥🔥
Always stay 5,6,7 steps ahead braves
I love how u laid out our timeline. Nice to see outsiders acknowledge the greatness
Love the video I'm a huge braves fan. Keep doing braves videos. Maybe one about who the MVP should be. Favorite player Sean Murphy baby!!!
You got everything right except for Riley not doing well this year.
He just had to wait for the weather to heat up. He’s on fire at the plate right now
Yw buddy subscribed
I would love to see a video about the Dodgers!
Great video! Damn impressive. Chop On!
Nice video! New sub👍
Braves must stay healthy focused hungry sharp discipline Excuting on point accurate precise detail sharp together
Should do my Rays next bro
Goooo Braves ⚾⚾⚾⚾
😂😂Ithink we need to see a 5 year retrospective of relief pitchers😊😊😊
Trading Andrelton for Sean Newcomb was such a massive L
Newcomb had so much potential because he had nasty stuff. But, If he was just a tad more consistent, he would have been a solid get for the Braves. Unfortunately, he would have 1 good game every 3-4 starts.
Wish The Indians knew how to draft and develope non pitchers as well as the Braves do .
Could you do one on the Rangers also. Thx!

lmao oops good catch
well Freddie was trying dick them around for money and they didn't wanna be left with out a first baseman

Lol don't forget to mention that his agent at the time didn't tell him about the braves final offer and fired him right away.
@@pray4us955sounds like the agent was working with the dodgers
Could you do one on the Astros?
certainly an idea
You use the same transition subs as an iceberg guy I have heard. Has me thinking it was you on a different channel
Go braves
Did this sports TH-cam channel just use a Majora’s Mask sound effect???
