You completely missed my point. The Dodgers were always the better team, even when they were down 3-1.

The Braves were never supposed to push them that far. The fact that they did shows that they are ahead of schedule.

They kind of were though. 2018 was a team ahead of schedule and grossly overmatched. Last year's team imploded against STL but Freeman wouldn't have been able to play in the NLCS anyways.

This year's team was supposed to be a World Series team. If they had gotten to the NLCS, put up a decent fight and lost 4-1 or 4-2 and never had a real shot, I could look at this season as one with a successful next step.

Losing the way they did is going to be hard to recover from. The 2016 Indians never got back there after giving away a 3-1 lead in the World Series.

LOL. Bad take. Nah. They'll be back, they are set up for the next 4-5 years. The same thing was said last year after they gave up 10 to STL in Gm.5. I feel comfortable saying that they will be in the NLCS 3 out of the next 4 years.

This is another bad take. LA is the best team in the NL and baseball. Everyone else right now is playing for 2nd. That is reality, not emotion like you're displaying. You need to quit getting your takes from Twitter/Sports talk radio.

And there was a reason that LA was such a heavy favorite.
