2011 The Finish Of One Era And The Starting Out Of The Atlanta Braves New Era

Take a look around the National League what's the 1 factor that you notice? The 1 factor that might stand out, is the reality that the team that couple of thought could be around as a contender, is searching like an accurate champion from their former glory days. This team is the Atlanta Braves. The Braves have come a lengthy way from the bunch of misfits that took to the field within the second component of last season. This could all be due in component to the retirement of Bobby Cox or not regardless of the reason the Braves are on Fire.

Look at the bullpen and you will be quick to notice that the team is looking more like a world class team than just a bunch of players that are lucky enough to be on the same team. The pitching rotation is one of the best since the days of Glavine, Avery and Smoltz. These three ran the Braves in the early part of the 90's and as a result made an impact on the team. There is a new trio of pitchers that are giving the batters they face a lot of grief when taking to the plate.

Pitching is only one part of the equation that the team has had in the 2011 season. The power of the bats is the second part of the picture. The power that is brought to the plate has been better than it has in the past few years. The stats of the season are proof that the Braves are out hitting all the other teams that are in the National League. Few teams are able to compete with the power that the Braves bring to the plate when at bat. This will be another aspect that the Braves will need to continue improving on in the later part of 2011.

The Braves outfield has seen a lot of massive improvement in the form of adding players that are able to get the big plays that are needed to be made on the field. The Braves has one of the more solid outfields in all of baseball. This talented outfield has led the team to see an increase in the number of plays that resulted in double plays and stranding runners at base. This is a vital key to the success of the Braves.

There is no reason why as a Braves fan you need to continue to hide in the doghouse and be afraid to show your Braves pride. The team has gone a long way in order to improve on their season from the previous few. There will be a lot more interest that will be included with the Braves and as a result will lead to Bobby Cox to have a wonderful retirement gift with a World Championship.
