Seattle could say the same and at least they finished 2nd in their division. Yeah, the AL East was brutal this season, and the Jays faired pretty well against the top 3 teams in the division, but then again they also had the luxury of playing the Orioles 19 times. Not sure I've ever heard of a team bitching about this after finishing 4th in their own division, but with the way people are nowadays it's pretty unsurprising.
Braves came on strong after the acquisitions and were clearly better than a 88 win team down the stretch. We won our division, beat two 95 win division winners and the 106 win defending champs in the post season.
It's crazy to think that Acuna going down could have been the best thing for us this season. Can't wait til the next one with him back on the field.
