2021 MLB Postseason: AL & NL Wild Card Games

[yourout]

Seems like a bit of an odd move.

 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Glad I'm not playing, the lights are definitely too bright for me! I am not confident the Brewers have the cajones to rise to the pressure.

Cain has been there, done that; Wong has had a few big moments in the postseason, same for Woody and (to a slightly lesser extent) Burnes. Hader has certainly had his postseason ups (and downs). But that is really it, and the rest of this group is untested. I can live with that. The Brewers aren't (and will never be able to be) the 90's Yankees or current Dodgers where everybody up and down the lineup seems to be a grizzled postseason vet.

 

For context…Hader let up zero runs in 2020 in 1 1/3 innings. Zero runs in 2018 in 7 appearances. So the down must be the weird wild card game? That’s his only runs he’s allowed in 3 years of postseason games for him. 1.46 era for career postseason.

 

Yeah, iirc he also blew a save right at the end of the 2019 season that made the WC a road game or something like that. Kinda fuzzy on it.

YES!!!

I seriously don't know who I'm cheering for. If it were up to me, aliens would show up right now and just abduct both teams.

[Underachiever]

Why wouldn’t you just hit Bader every time. Because, you know, it’s Bader. Same with O’Neill.

Roid rage.

Got to assume STL wanted more than 5 1/3 from Wainwright.

[willie key]

Cardinals are just the biggest jags of all time

[jason21nl]

I feel like Justin Turner is going to hit a home run every time he swings the bat

It's like picking between Voldemort and Saruman.

I mean they certainly could have left him in longer if they did.

Baseball's weird but I don't see STL getting out of this. I think they needed to have a couple run lead when Wainwright left.

I prefer to approach this in the (paraphrased) words of Napoleon: when you come upon your enemies fighting each other, eat a bowl of popcorn.

[owbc]

Now this is quality postseason baseball.

lol...that's exactly what I just did!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Cardinals have burned through about all of their 9 lives with some of those plays that baseball randomly forces to not go your way...problem is they seemingly have unlimited lives.

[igor67]

I'm rooting for 18 innings, let the position players decide it.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I just have this feeling a hanging slider is going to get put in the seats by someone pretty soon

[Joseph Zarr]

Losing Max Muncy, at this stage, appears quite large. He's a huge bat in their Lineup.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Schildt should be challenging that. Looked like he came off in the stupidest use of replay sense

 

Edit: No matter, I guess.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Part of me thinks it's pretty cool to see Juan Soto in the stands actively rooting on Trea Turner...

 

the other part of me is nervous for when the Dodgers find a way to acquire him for a validated stadium parking ticket and sneak him into their dugout for extras

[BruisedCrew]

Billy McKinney in.

Arenado and Bellinger both had sliders to send into the bleachers.

Bellinger got over the top of it.
