The Atlanta Braves

This team has the same problem the 90’s teams had. They were built for the regular season. Doesn’t do you any good to win 100+ in the regular season if you can’t win 11 in the postseason(3 in the DS and 4 each in NLCS and WS). We got lucky to win it all in ‘21 with a rotation that was held together with duct tape but we had 2 guys in that pen that were unhittable and some clutch hitting. I don’t know what you can do about the clutch hitting part because the lineup is mostly set in stone for the next few years, hopefully everybody but Riley going into a slump won’t happen again but one thing AA can do is load up on power pitching in the pen. Great pitching still beats good hitting

Honestly, those 90s teams were built more for the playoffs than the regular season. They had 3 HOFers in the rotation.
