In ‘99 the Braves and the Mets were really good so even when we got hot, we were in 3rd place. We didn’t prevent runs very well over all. I wonder what the metrics would have said about our defense…

@dougglanville Have to ask. 13 games over .500 in August and finished 11 games under. What happened? I was a kid and don't really remember.
