the nationals are a fun ass team

that intentional walk to kendrick in the 1st inning with 1 out was so horsefeathering stupid

Huh? He’d be stupid not to. He easily would get another 1-2 years and another $30-50 mil over what he has left, he has 4/90 left. He’d easily get 5/120 or 6/135 or so. Do you forget all of the health issues he's had? Would he gamble on a new deal, or take the guaranteed money? I'm not convinced he gets 5/120 he doesn't give you many full seasons but he hasn't made less than 22 starts in any of the last 8 seasons and is always very good in them. his health history isn't as bad as darvish and he's also better.

none of these things mean anything, I dont understand why people cite stuff like this in baseball Beating Scherzer twice does mean something, lol. Sorry you can't do "small samples!!!" to things like that. That guy wrecked almost every one he faced. Since Jeff Albert (came over from Houston) became the primary hitting coach, the Cardinals have had the 4th best offense in baseball. Nationals, like the Braves, have a crap bullpen. You need that to win in the playoffs. Cardinals will just hack fouls and take take take until the 5th-6th when starters are lifted and feast on their pen. Just like we did Atlanta. I don't put a lot of stock into WAR for pitchers when the stat doesn't consider weak contact/ground balls. And that's the moneyball market efficiency that Cardinals were all-in on. Mikolas, Waino, and Hudson are all groundball specialists. The whole staff is. With Edman and Wong and DeJong in the infield... it'll be smooth sailing barring crazy BABIP luck. Cardinals are the best postseason team remaining with HR/FB rates too. We keep the ball in the park in a homer-crazy league. That's how you win. That's how we'll beat the Nationals.

Cardinals went 5-2 against them this year, including 3 of 4 at home and have home field advantage. With Anibal Sanchez starting game 1. This won't be a cakewalk. Especially since it'll set up where Wainwright only pitches at home. Cardinals beat Scherzer twice this year. none of these things mean anything, I dont understand why people cite stuff like this in baseball

cubs got what they had coming and the brewers and cardinals are losing excruciating games in the playoffs. good season actually
-
-
That likely got them in the play-in game, though. and that's the game you live for
-
oh yeah that's the stuff
-
imo the nationals should have started their pitcher who has been doing really good the last month instead of their pitcher who has been doing really bad
-
they have sano, who is a worse person than russell Ummm, no. did she recant, or do you just not believe her?
-
they have sano, who is a worse person than russell

He’s getting paid $10m to be a top 50 pitcher in baseball while the dude we traded for him struggles to hit a .300 OBP. I was hoping for better, but we’ve done far, far worse. It doesnt matter what eloy is doing. his value when he was traded was immense and we got a complete bum for it. -

quintana is one of the most disappointing cubs in my lifetime -
as much as i believe in the brewers bs magic, i don't care if they win the division or not, because i'm not concerned about them in the playoffs. that team is not winning the world series. yeah crapshoot blah blah blah. they aren't going anywhere. well, they're going to the playoffs. but they'll lose, and this stupid run of theirs will once again mean nothing. they currently own us, but who cares. we've won a world series in recent memory, and we'll go into next season with a better roster than them.
