Atlanta Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos joined Dukes & Bell to talk about the team's National League Divisional series with the Brewers and what he thinks will set the tone for the team in postseason.
When asked about the key to postseason success for the Braves.
“I think the rotation, they set the tone your starters. We had the most success that we’ve had, I was here for three years and when I look at the first two years we didn’t get past the first round,” Anthopoulos said. “I do think that Cardinals series was just some bad luck and things like that especially game four we were so close to being able to win that series but the one thing is we pitched exceptionally well last year and that allowed us to advance.”
“We won two rounds last year, obviously we had the expanded round against the Reds and then Miami and then took LA deep but we pitched really really well and I think that’s ultimately going to be the key for us.”
