I remember David Justice stinking it up in the NLCS and WS a few times.

Man please...pitching usually dominates the playoffs and WS. That's why most teams shorten their rotations from 5-3. The fouth and fifth starters usually pitch in relief efforts.
And the Braves offense was dominated by good pitching in those WS.
In five WS appearances, the Braves team batting average was .234. The last time ATL was in the WS -- 1999 -- they hit .200 against the Yankees.
I don't care how good your pitching staff is, they need run support, especially playing against AL opponents.
Styles has a point with the Braves. They should have easily won 3.
That was 1 of the best pitching staff ever assembled. But when it came playoff time, the Braves batting percentage dropped considerably!!!
