You could call the Atlanta Braves Game 5 loss many different things: a disaster, an epic collapse, an absolute nightmare. But those are not terms I would use to describe the Atlanta Braves 2019 season, as a whole.
Sure, you could easily (and intelligently) argue that a team’s season is meaningless if it doesn’t end with a championship; that a great regular season is nothing compared to a deep run in the postseason.
Technically, you would be 100% correct. Getting the boot in the very first playoff series is not all that great and being eliminated in the NLDS is not what we Braves’ fans should expect or frankly be proud of.
