Thanks for the compliment and I agree with your analysis. I am a big fan of A-B-C baseball (gettem on, move em over, gettem in). One big problem the Braves have had in the playoffs is the A (gettem on) portion of the equation. A double is just a double if noone is on base. Last post season Andruw hit .500 and only had a hadful of RBI's. If you have a player that gets a hit half the time he gets up, you should score plenty of runs. I guess what I am saying is that Cox ends up in a lose-lose situation. When every player goes up there swinging, he gets criticized for not manufacturing runs. However, when no one gets on base, its hard to bunt a nonexistant runner over to second.
I think it still comes down to the fact that programs with great coaching and managing will remain consistant contenders and will be in the playoffs regularly. Once you get there, you have to have talent and luck. Teams that win 7 game series had luck on their side. In 91, if Kirby Pucket swings 1/16 of an inch lower, the Braves win the series. If the umpire rules that Hrbek pulled Gant off the bag. . .the braves win the series. Sometimes things dont go your way no matter how talented a teams players, managers, and coaches are. I think that one of the biggest problems the Braves are having is that they are being compared to the Paid-for-Teams that are their exact opposites. The rent a series marlins and the luxury tax yankees dont have a system that produces winners so they buy them. There is no comparison. . .I am a BASEBALL fan and therefore love watching the best franchise in baseball. . .THE ATLANTA BRAVES.
