Stars aren't showing up to the wild card game, dude. This is LA. |

Garcia is a great story. Almost gave up on baseball. 34. Pitching in the minors. Can’t throw a strike despite 100 mph heat. He puts up two goose eggs against a 106 win team. Well done. Have your moment.

Pujols could potentially be a pinch hitter in the 9th. That could be very interesting.

Molina was spotted partying with Javier Baez yesterday.
|
The view from the back side showed his foot against the bag.

There are less than 10 games left of the archaic rule. Let it go. We are the ones who had to endure pitchers harmlessly flailing at pitches. |

I thought it was a funny joke about a guy with an awful neck tattoo being a poor decision maker.

This game is a perfect example of why the Cards only chance to beat LA would be a 1 game situation. No way they match up for a series.
|
That was above his shoulders. That’s why we hate the guy now.
|
What a match that AB was.
|
That was enjoyable
|
Is Pujols going to pinch hit?
|
Dammit. Cards do this to me every time. Why can't they just beat the snot out of the other team every once in a while?
And . . . Great game. |
Well they had their chances to get runs in tonight. Everyone, besides Edman looked off all night. But, so have all those great hitters on that LA team.
|
This is interesting.

I also predict he comes back to the Cards next year as DH. |
Here it is.

Whew.
|
Ground ball pitcher giving up pop flys to center. Thats baseball for you.
|
This is gonna be one of those six hour games huh
|
Way off.
|
Reyes scares the shit out of me here. He gave up a ton of HR after the break.

Hate to see that happen to the Cardinals

I called it, he gave up a HR. Dumb move Shildt.
|
Wow.
|
BOOM
|
**** YEAH!!!!!!
|
TJ was too cautious of Belli.
|
Just an idiotic move there by Schildt.
|
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
|
Dodgers vs Giants is going to be one hell of a series

This was a great game for me because I hate both teams. I'll never feel bad about #BFIB tears.

Dodgers and the under was a good bet for me.

When no one can put a crooked number on the board and you are staring at a 6 hour game when your dinner reservation is coming soon, bring in the guy with like a 7 ERA over the last 2 months. |

Nice work. |
How have the Dodgers and Giants never played each other in the playoffs?

Truth be told, the Dodgers and Giants are the 2 best teams in baseball and this needed to happen. The baseball Gods are correct tonight

They also played three-game tiebreaker series in 1951 and 1962 (Games 163-65) but they are counted as regular season games. |
Quote:
I didn't know about the AAWS matchup. I knew about the tiebreaker series, but didn't reference because, as you pointed out, they count much the same as a modern era "game 163" would count as a regular season game. Anyway, the Giants just don't lose. They will be an extremely tough out and without an at the top of his game Scherzer (and he is not, he got really fortunate last night), I don't see the Dodgers winning this series. Giants in 6 |
How was Scherzer fortunate last night? Was it his best performance? No. But the only run he gave up was unearned. He was in less overall trouble than Wainwright. The only reason the Dodgers had to bat in the 9th was because the fastest player in the game swung at ball 4 with the bases loaded and broke his bat while putting the ball in the only location where he could be doubled up.

Where is the fortune? The Cardinals had 2 legitimate threats of scoring when Scherzer was on the mound through the 5th and none were nearly as dangerous as when the Dodgers failed to score with the bases loaded and 1 out with Trea Turner at the plate. The odds of not giving up a run to start any inning is 70%. There was a 70% chance of ending the first only giving up the 1 run. There was a 80% chance of getting out of the 3rd not giving up a run, which is why a lot of managers dont sacrifice bunt any more, why Shildt chose to do that instead of attempt to steal second with Bader I will never know. And once Scherzer struck out O'Neil in the 5th there was a 60% chance of getting out of that inning with 0 runs scored. Arguably the only fortunate moment of the night was getting out of the 5th with 0 runs scored. |
Quote:
My guess is that if you told Scherzer pre game that you were giving him the ball in a win or go home game, and he was going to give you 4 1/3 without a single clean inning, but you were gonna win the game anyway, he would immediately start thanking his teammates. Anyway, as I said, the W is all that matters. On to the next round. We'll see how it plays out. |
