We need to drive a stake through their hearts. I don't want to just win. I want to run them out of the building.

I know exactly what you mean, Lindsay, an agree total. If this doesnt work we must 1. plan for a team WITHOUT the injured to death (i.e., Strider, Lopez, Murphy, Acuna, Riley); WITHOUT the unprofitable (i.e., Yaz/Thomas paid ~$17MM/year to hit an avg of .225 between the 2 (Yaz is already 36 & can't run, catch, jump) Profar, Kim) and cutting our hitting into double plays dramatically by moving the slowest guy in the majors to hitting first (like Philly/Schwarber) or behind AlLL leverage bats. One day we will have to pay for all the players lost via bad trades and bad GM's (prior to AA) on the diamond and at the bank.

BUT, for today, I'd like to see Atlanta win in 2 and move on to LA.

Just to be sure, it wasn't "bad GM's (prior to AA)" who signed or traded for Yaz, Thomas, Kim, Profar et al.

The "Bad GM" was the guy that cheated on the Latino market that got Braves tagged with a big-time penalty. That's another reason our "farm" is so depleted. I think we just got back to "normal" from all that just last year?
