Atlanta Braves fans fired up over team going the entire season without being swept, a feat only accomplished six times since 1990: "This is really incredible!!!", "Pretty impressive history here"

The Atlanta Braves finally clinched the National League East after their win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. The win knocked the New York Mets down to the number one Wild Card spot in the National League going into the postseason.

The win yesterday also meant that the Atlanta Braves accomplished history. They have gone the entire 2022 season without getting swept in a series. They are the sixth team in MLB history to accomplish this since 1990.

Atlanta Braves fans can't believe the team hasn't been swept all season long. They have been impressed with how their team has performed this year given how they started.

The Braves ended April with a 10-12 record. They didn't look like the same team that won the World Series in 2021. They were able to bounce back from their rocky start and show their dominance once again.

Fans can't get over the fact that this isn't the first time they've gone a full season without being swept. They did it in the 2002 and 2004 seasons as well. The Braves didn't win the World Series during those years. Fans hope that this team is different.

Fans believe the team has what it takes to make it through the postseason this year. They'll be a force to be reckoned with in the league for years to come.

The Atlanta Braves have locked up their core players for the future

The Atlanta Braves don't want the opportunity for their young stars to think about playing elsewhere. Their most recent extension to Michael Harris shows just that. Earlier this year, Harris and the Braves agreed to an eight-year, $72 million contract.

In August, the Braves and Austin Riley agreed to a ten-year, $212 million contract. He played a huge part in securing the World Series title for the Braves last year.

The Atlanta Braves also have All-Star Ronald Acuna Jr. through 2027 when they offered him a $100 million deal in 2019. Harris, Riley, and Acuna will be doing their best to give the Braves a shot at the World Series.

The Braves don't want their chances of dominating the league for years to come to slip away. Their general manager, Alex Anthopoulos, has been aggressive in building a team with sustained success.
