September has ended, and with October comes the deluge of playoff baseball. But September (and those two games in October) were very fun for the Atlanta Braves, even if nothing they could do could deliver a postseason berth for them.
Going back to 2010, the Braves have generally faded in the fall.
- In 2010, the Braves had an awful April but played extremely well until a sub-.500 September. (Note: from here on out, I’m using “September” to refer to all regular season games played in September and October.)
- 2011 was pretty much the exact same story, but with far more bitterness, as a 9-18 September saw the Braves lose a playoff spot on the last game of the season.
