cardinals didn't deserve to be in the playoffs this year, overall. really though, the team they were over the last month could have won the WS - they're excellent, i'm excited about next year

I sort of don't understand. Like, in hockey, the tea.the wins the president's cup usually does not win the Stanley's. It's about not peaking too soon and staying healthy

Was a reference to "didn't deserve to be. . ."

yeah, it's different for sure. i think in hockey they don't start "really playing" until the playoffs, right?
baseball is tilted toward luck a lot more. it's not a total crapshoot, but the best team against the worst team will win maybe 70% of the time. two decent teams against each other will usually be 60/40%. the variability is high with baseball, that's what keeps it fun

the Cards could have easily won this game but they are just not that good
― Bee OK, Thursday, 7 October 2021 04:46 (two years ago) link
realize that with all those short stop miscues
lol ok

That variability (or parity) in baseball is why it's good to keep the playoffs small and make the division titles mean something. It's not about just getting a spot in the tournament like the NHL.
That was a really good and tense game. Dodgers-Giants NLDS felt kind of inevitable but the Cards couldn't have been much closer to pulling off the upset.

all the shortstop miscues cost them 0 runs (this game), and over the season they came out ahead!
dodgers came out ahead and were the better team for sure, but they'll be the "better" team through this postseason (including against the giants)

looking at the video, reyes barely even flinched after taylor's swing -- just started walking toward the dugout

only thing i have to say about this game is that it was cute and good that juan soto was there cheering on scherzer and trea turner
― na (NA), Thursday, 7 October 2021 14:26 (two years ago) link
ya – seeing Soto there was great.
