    I feel like ATL and LA both have the same issue of being so good on paper that they live in this weird simultaneous head space of feeling both intense pressure to succeed but also an inherent entitlement to success. They feel like they should and will win, but not in a confident way, in a desperate way where they feel like they just deserve success based on who they are and then they get too tight and worried about playing the game. Also it's just sports dude, the best team doesn't always win and if they did it would be pointless to even play the games to begin with.

I think our big offense kinda disguised a less than stellar pitching staff, and when the bats went quiet, it got exposed.

They simply got outplayed by a hot Phillies team spurred on by the desire to win it more (and Arcia).

    Earlier this season, I remember seeing Braves fans (and even some media people) saying that the playoffs should be cancelled and the Braves should just be handed the trophy and rings because there's no way anyone could beat them. But that's why you play the postseason! It's rare that the team with the best record wins.
    For real though, the Braves won the division in mid-September and decided the last two weeks of the season didn't matter. In my opinion, this is what killed them - they went almost three weeks without playing hard and got complacent. The Phillies battled through the last month to keep the top wild card seed. The Diamondbacks did the same thing this year, Padres last year, and now two wild card teams are in the NLCS again.

Game 2 doesn’t exist in my eyes, they scored 0, 2, and 1. Wasted two good starts by Strider. Snitker has like two choke jobs (LA & STL), three non competitive beatdowns (1 vs LA and 2 vs PHL), and 1 WS. Our 88 win WS squad had heart and an edge that this year’s talented squad lacks.

Imagine a fighter voicing how afraid they are of Jon Jones and are dead serious before the match or Kobe mentioning how afraid he was to face AI. Philly played that right by acknowledging how good you are but they wanted to burry us meanwhile Snit up here broadcasting his fear to the world and making stupid roster changes to prove it.

    Call me crazy but this is exactly what Atlanta needed. We went on a couple runs prior to 2021 and always choked. It was the same ole braves we knew from the 90’s. Hall of fame level lineups and pitching that was second to none only to disappear when it mattered most. We broke that in 2021 and followed it up w 2 insane regular season division titles. We thought we broke the curse and took that crown off our head. The Phillies just firmly took that crown and shoved it back on our heads w attitude in a way that only leads to a rage induced fan base. I believe this Atlanta team is too good to not go back to the post season in the coming years, and this type of embarrassment we just endured is the perfect scenario to respond to.

Totally lost, I'm not confident when Altuve isn't clutch (even though the last year our team was so dominant that it didn't matter)
      I don't like the fact that Valdez is a batting machine right now and JV is a coin flip.... I don't like the fact that Baker is still relying on Montero instead of Stanek...
      I am very very concerned for this playoffs against Texas... If we managed to go to the WS well then I'm gonna be concerned about something else... And btw, I hate to be the guy with the negative attitude, but I think that if we faced the braves in the final this would be 2021 all over again... We didn't have strong starters back then, only urquidy made an excellent work... And Valdez was a batting machine back then... We had García... We don't even have him now... And Christian Javier was a super clutch reliever but we had to use him so much that braves finally got him in probably the two most important game of the final... soooo IF, and this is a big IF we beat Texas... Believe me I wouldn't wanted to face the Braves... Probably in 2022 I was confident enough that we could have beaten the braves probably even swept them in the final... But in 2023? With the inconsistency we are facing in the pitching department???? Hell no

    Other than Strider, the Braves pitching was banged up at the end of the season, so giving up all those runs was not a surprise. Frankly, it's disappointing that the video didn't mention that fact - kind of lazy. Speaking of lazy, the lack of hitting, was inexcusable. I guess that age old saying, "Good pitching beats good hitting" still rings true to this very statistically-driven decision making day.

    As a Phillies fan I had no doubt in my mind we would win that series. The Braves are not built for the postseason currently like us, yet they were cocky enough to think they were because of regular season accolades. You can blame the Dodgers’ failure on injuries and the loss of players like Urias (although one total hit between Freeman and Betts is pretty pathetic too), but the Braves had the same powerhouse train going from the regular season and couldn’t get it done.
    I would also love to say that to anyone thinking all the offdays is the reason why, PLEASE lose the division next year then, be a wild card team having to use 2 of your top starters (sometimes not even, if you had to use them right before the season ended in games 161 or 162), then play game 1 of the DS with your #3 starter while the entire bye-team’s rotation and bullpen is well rested. Completely pathetic. I would love to win the division and have a bye round going into my first series to have the best possible chance of winning with homefield advantage.
    Braves fans just gotta admit their superstars are pathetic in the limelight. That 2021 team is drastically different from what they shove out on field now, and ironically enough, the 2021 remnants are the only ones that produced anything substantial, in Albeis, Riley, and d’Arnaud.

    This playoff format is killing all the best teams in the regular season, because they have too long of a break waiting for the WC winner. Also teams like Braves and Dodgers had the division wrapped up long time ago so they were cruising the rest of the way and then went on a long break before they had to ramp it up again. On the other hand you have teams with over 80 wins that could win it all and other teams like Seattle for example who had more wins than Minnesota but didn't even make the playoffs. In my opinion this playoff format is flawed.

      Should be like this:
      MLB, are you paying attention?
      Here is what I thing should be done.
      If you still have 6 seeds.
      1,2,3 seeds are based on record only, just like the other seeds, not whether they win a weak division, such as the Minnesota Twins getting the 3 seed.
      Baseball season ends.
      1 Day off before Wild Card. 3 seed plays 6 seed. 4 seed plays 5 seed.
      3 & 4 seeds are awarded a phantom win to start the series. The two teams (3 & 6) & (4 & 5) play a double header, if necessary to get the "3 games" in. All Wild Card games are played in 3 & 4 seed stadiums.
      No days off after Wild Card. Winners of Wild Card immediately fly to the 1 & 2 seed cities for Division Series.
      Division Series becomes a Best of 7.
      1 & 2 seeds start series with a hypothetical win.
      1 seed plays lowest seeded winner of the 3&6 and 4&5 Wild Card Series
      2 seed plays the highest seeded winner of the 3& 6 and 4 & 5 Wild Card Series.
      1 & 2 seeds get ALL games in their own stadium for the entire Division Series.
      First team to "4 wins" wins the series and advances to Championship Series.
      NLCS and ALCS are best of 7 game series. No extra advantages for any team in this series, other than the highest seed gets four games at home, if necessary, and I'd place the highest seed having the first three games in their stadium instead of 2. So 3 games in highest seed stadium, followed by 3 games in the lowest seed stadium, the one more game in highest seed stadium.
      World Series is a best of 7 game series.
      Traditional Model: Best regular season record gets home field advantage: Games 1, 2, 6, 7. The other team gets games 3, 4, 5

Mookie and Acunia were worse than anyone ever expected, they both deserve to get MVP points knocked off, I don’t care how good they were regular season, if you turn into a ghost post season you should be given less credit than what you would have received regular season.
