I said it late in the season and again before this series, but it's worth saying again. Losing in the NLDS is a disappointment. In 2018, it was the “right” result. The Braves weren't as good as the Dodgers. In 2019, they were the better team, with home-field, and blew it.

I had an epiphany. Trae Young gets covered and discussed as if the 2021 playoffs never happened. He averaged 29/9 while leading ATL to the ECF as the No. 1 option by the widest of margins. And it’s just memory-holed to the point of comps to guys who haven’t ever done anything.
