How are the Atlanta Braves So Great?| A Timeline on the Braves’ Legendary Rebuild 

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

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!

This is Braves Country baby

You covered the Braves pretty well in this, thank you! Much love from GA

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.

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.

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.

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 Braves fan I am so Happy

Love the majoras mask transition screens 😂

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

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.

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

Great video. Excellent video. I know it took alot of research Again thsnks gor the video

Good video but when you said the deepest pitching staff in Braves history I laughed.

Riley is on 🔥

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.

Very good made video my guy, very much appreciated

New sub. Keep up the good work

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.

Awesome video man. Thanks for making it.

Great video! Direct and to the point with no " filler talk" to waste time. I am a fan!

Appreciate the work.

Well done sir. Upvote given.

Great video

I was just wishing there was a video about this. Well done

Great video. Just subbed for ya. Keep bringing Braves content!

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.

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!!!

Nice video! New sub👍

Braves fan since 86. Subbed and liked. Hope u get some subscribers bro.

Nice break down of the Braves, with the stars they have they should be able to win a couple more WS. Baltimore orioles Next ✌️

I love how u laid out our timeline. Nice to see outsiders acknowledge the greatness

I would love to see a video about the Dodgers!

They must continue to be sharp on point accurate precise detail together calculated

😂😂Ithink we need to see a 5 year retrospective of relief pitchers😊😊😊

Should do my Rays next bro

Wish The Indians knew how to draft and develope non pitchers as well as the Braves do .

Nice breakdown. Not a complaint but if you clean up the delivery some, it’ll enhance your vids. Which will come with repetition.

Goooo Braves ⚾⚾⚾⚾

You got everything right except for Riley not doing well this year.

Do a update my guy 🔥🔥🔥

Braves must stay healthy focused hungry sharp discipline Excuting on point accurate precise detail sharp together

Could you do one on the Rangers also. Thx!

Trading Andrelton for Sean Newcomb was such a massive L

You use the same transition subs as an iceberg guy I have heard. Has me thinking it was you on a different channel

Could you do one on the Astros?

CLEVELAND GUARDIANS/INDIANS Pitching that’s my request

Go braves

Great video! Damn impressive. Chop On!

Lol video of touki toussant

Uhhh....You forgot to mention Ron Washington.

Did this sports RU-vid channel just use a Majora’s Mask sound effect???

but MUh CHeAtInG

Braves had some lean years. John hart and Coppola. Almost buried the franchise

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
