Braves are the 2018 NL East Champions!

Post by Titans309fan »

Congrats to the Braves for winning their fourth in a row, this one clinching the division. I was hoping Swanson could have had a grand slam in the 8th to put it away (one of the few things missing on his resume), but he got under it a bit for the long out. But I am sure he is excited to make the playoffs for the first time.

Their last NL East title was in 2013. The big thing now is to actually advance in the playoffs, something the Braves have not done since 2001.

If they can keep this team together, they can be good for a long time. Their farm system is again second to none, so that will help.

I'm a Phillies fan, so I was obviously hoping September would go a different way, but I am certainly happy for the multiple Commodores on that team and will probably root for them in the playoffs. I think Phillies-Braves is the next 5+ years of the NL East.
