The Atlanta Braves weren't faced with elimination at any point in their run through October a year ago, but the Philadelphia Phillies pushed Atlanta's season to the brink and knocked the former champs out of the postseason this time around.

Charlie Morton surrendered an early home run and the Phillies tacked on in an 8-3 victory to take the NLDS by a 3-1 margin.

Grant McAuley and Jake Mastroianni of Locked On Braves break down the series loss for Atlanta, the lack of starting pitching and offense that led to an early exit, and ponder if Saturday was the final game for Dansby Swanson in a Braves uniform.
