But there are a lot of concerns as the Braves enter the postseason, and one of the biggest is what's going on with Freddie Freeman.
The Braves first baseman has been dealing with bone spurs in his right elbow for weeks. And the grimacing in his face over the last regular season series against the New York Mets didn't give us any assurance he'll be good for the team's first playoff game on Thursday.
"I'm worried about it because we've seen Freddie look not like Freddie for the last month," Andy Bunker of the Midday Show said.
"I hate to say this but I'm almost to the point where like I don't really expect that much from Freddie. I think he's hurt, man."
Randy McMichael said you need Freeman in order to beat the Cardinals in this first round of the postseason.
"You need Freddie. You need that production. If not, just the fact that he's in there."
