Greg Maddux was the closest thing to a serial killer on the mound

Randy Johnson dude killled a pigeon with his pitch

 

[#1 pick]

The guy was so efficient. Carved up a lineup with brains and precision. It was so beautiful to watch. 2nd favorite pitcher behind Pedro. #mlbnostalgia

My favorite pitcher ever. Watched damn near every game as a diehard fan. Thank Chicago for not paying him.

While they weren’t the favorite in 1994 (Montreal was) they did lose 1 postseason to the strike.

They SHOULD have beaten the Yankees in 1996. Even if that Yankees team was good, they had a 2-0 lead in the series. As much as Jim Leyritz’s home run was a huge moment, I think the real killer was Game 5. Smoltz was dominant for 8 innings and Andy Pettite pitched into the 9th of a 1-0 Yankees victory.

If Atlanta wins that game, momentum shifts and maybe they take the series.

1997 they ran into a hot Marlins team.
1999, nobody was beating those Yankees.

Baseball is a hard sport. The A's lost to the Reds with a superior squad.

DAMN...baseball was so fukking great in the 90's.
How the fukk did it become what it is today?

Analytics is what happened. Also nikkas throw too hard today. Back in the day, it was rare to have a Randy Johnson. Nowadays, you got at least two guys on every roster throwing 98+.

This series makes me tight to the fukking day.

'96 was supposed to be the year, two games in and it was looking good. I was still hot after what happened to my Os

that kid was a fukking hero and that 96 run was truly fukking magical

That whole Braves team gave my Pirates fits during that era. Their pitching was just too damn good for us to beat them consistently

Those were classic series tho

Sid Bream rounding third hobbling
shout out to Francisco Cabrera

I watched so much Braves and Cubs baseball as a kid for the simple fact that they were always on TBS & WGN.

Ted Turner: Oh you wanted to watch Saved by the Bell? Well you watching Braves vs Astros now
