Those back-to-back diving catches were amazing. Saved it from being a 2 run game.
Shields has been average at best tonight.

Him and the entire defense have done that all season. This team has Gold Glove caliber defenders at C, 1B, SS, LF, and CF while the 3B is pretty good himself.
I still can't believe fat Billy Butler actually stole a base
Did anyone honestly think that in spring training it would be the Royals and Orioles in the ALCS? We are gonna see a World Series in Baltimore or Kansas City. Why can't this happen in the NBA?
Baseball is a more "anything can happen" sport than basketball, and team building in baseball is a lot more complex than basketball. Having two top players in the league in basketball pretty guarantees you a playoff berth, even if the rest of the roster is D-league level. In baseball, you can be stacked with notable players on paper and still miss the playoffs. Furthermore, chokes in baseball are a lot more common. Trout going 1-12 in a series or Kershaw giving up 8 runs is like the equivalent of Lebron James averaging 5 points per game in a series, which would never, ever happen.
The Angles proved what they were in this series...a cute little regular season team who would be exposed by a team with dominant pitching. The Royals bats are relentless so I knew they were due to explode at some point in this series. Their offense may not be the sexiest, but it can be the type that can get hot in October.
Mattingly is sending Kershaw out for Game 4.
Bully, bully for you Don.
Happy to see the Nationals win today - hopefully they can get the series back to DC
The Tigers Bringing in a new manger made a big difference...Jim Leayland really held them back
Are we really gonna have to watch baseball's luckiest two teams in NLCS again?
That's pussy & asshole, Jacob.
Just speaking the truth, ass . I'm sure Joe Buck still has a hard on from tonight. He probably has a bucket in the booth when he calls his beloved lucky Cardinals.
Welp, Kershaw is officially the biggest choker in North American sports.
I don't even think Peyton's various chokejob masterpieces can out do Kershaw's last 3 post-season games.
You were saying?
Not impressed with what the Cardinals did. The other team from Missouri swept their SoCal opponent.
had dodgers traded kemp cards would have swepted dodgers
Both teams are jokes. Angels are a bit bigger of joke, though, since SWYou were saying?
the national league. Unless it's the Cubs, American League FTW. Let's go Royals and Orioles.
The idea that Cardinals and Giants are lucky is hilarious. They have 4/5 NL les and 3/5 World Series les the last five years, and have most postseason wins at 30 and 26 over same time. Closest AL is Texas at 18.
Both are well coached and have players who have the "it factor" you can't measure by sabermetrics. I'll concede each got some breaks this year, from rookie managerial decisions to rookie-like pitching collapses. But they still had to make the plays, pitches, and contact to win. Nothing lucky there.
I get being pissrd at their consistent success, but there's no reason to deme grade greatness by saying its luck or implying a fluke. Nothing fluke about 3/5 with two les for Giants or 4/5 with 1 le for Cardinals in making it to NLCS play.
I just can't stand watching them in the playoffs and see their fans about to burst in tears or see them praying. It's pathetic. Acting like your team and fan base has suffered. The Cardinals are the Yankees of the NL.
That's the truth about Cards fans. They think they're the best fans in the world. God's gift to mankind. Frankly, I want the Royals to kick their asses in a 7 game series. What they do to other teams in the playoffs won't work against the Royals who's superior at starting pitching, defense, bullpen, and base-running. the Cards. em. We swept a better Angels team and ended it with a rout compared to the Cards who had to win 3 close games.
But we have to get by a really good O's team. They're good. I respect them. Way more than the Cards.
Amen! I'd love to see the Royals sweep the Cardinals. Cardinals fans would be so salty and butthurt over that and combine that with 1985 and it wwould be epic. But yeah the cardinals and their fan base. Spoiled brats.
Cardinals fans are pretty much all the worst aspects of Yankees fans, Red Sox fans, and GNSF combined....
