    Seems to me the Braves have gotten more lucky hits than the Cards, so be careful wishing for the luck to change.
    Leave your logic and rational thought for the offseason.

    Braves have definitely got some lucky hits. Cardinals have just come at the most opportune time. Sequencing.

    This. A lucky single with 2 outs isnt very dangerous. A lucky double with men on is.

    Also, the Cards have gotten a ton of lucky doubles. So many bloops and dribblers being perfectly placed.

    I wonder what the median xBA is on that data set. If our average xBA on hits is lower, its possible that the Cardinals have had more outliers on the upper end of the xBA spectrum that influences the numbers. They have definitely gotten several timely hits that were pretty darn lucky.

    I know that this is supposed to be a positivity thread, but this is my contribution toward breaking the curse. The only thing I love more than watching the Braves is coming here and bull****ting with all of you. I’m willing to sacrifice this half of my dearest baseball hobby to see a playoff series win tomorrow for the Braves. You said anything goes, right?

    If by some miracle the Braves do manage to win, just remember who died for your sins.
    Nobody is bigger than the cause itself. You are a good man!

    I would take a bukkake from every member of this board if the Braves win this next game.

    In addition to breaking our curse, I'm going to try to put a new curse on the Cardinals. It's about time someone else suffered under this.
