Looking back on this series, the Braves had their chances... and the loss revealed several holes on the roster -
I think there is plenty of blame to go around -
Bottom line is the Braves were the better team and coulda, shoulda woulda won Games 1, 2,3 and 4.
+ We had excellent SP in Games 2 and 3. Otherwise, the Braves need 1 Frontline Starter.
+ The bullpen couldn't hold the lead in the 8th innings of Games 1 and 4. Martin's injury hurt.
+ The middle of the order disappeared - Freeman, Donaldson, Kakes, and Mac. Absolutely atrocious with runners in scoring position.
+ Situational hitting. Small ball. Manufacturing runs.
+ And now with the retirement of BMac, the Braves need a legit Catcher. Flowers isn't the answer.
The Cardinals had so many of those broken-bat, bloop-find-a-hole clutch hits.... some of that is just random baseball luck.
Game 5 was just an avalanche. Quicksand. THey completely imploded under the pressure of Game 5.
But the truth is - the Braves should have wrapped up this series in St Louis.
Let's hope AA resigns Donaldson, acquires a #1 starter, more bullpen help.... and a catcher in the offseason.
I know it's too early to reflect.... but the Braves were 1 of the Top 4-5 teams in Baseball all season long, until yesterday. 97 wins is a really good season. It sucks that tomorrow will be what we fans choose to remember.

Starting at about the 7th inning in game 4, I’m not sure the Braves have played a worse 5 inning stretch of baseball all season
The end of the season was a complete disaster but it’s still hard to not be excited over the future of the Braves. The youth movement will continue and hopefully, this was the last game in Braves uniform for Keuchel, Markakis, and Julio

And how many of the Braves runs in games 1 and 4 came off errors?
