The season ended on a high note, but that doesn’t change facts: this may have been the worst Braves season that any of us have ever seen. As Sansho wrote on August 30:
We all like to glamorize past suffering, but I feel like this exact moment — Yankee after Yankee crossing the plate against an assembly line of no-hopers, to wild cheering from the crowd, a day after a fan died at the stadium — is the lowest point in franchise history.
The offseason was a bitter pill to swallow.
Just look at the 2014 Braves roster.
