Lol someone on Twitter posted this. I’m so glad they respect the game enough to speak to reporters and let them do their job. What a clown organization the Cards are. And to think they were the ones who pushed the snowball down the hill of us losing the Chop. I hope they never see a playoff win again.
Marcell Ozuna refused to be interviewed in the Cardinals clubhouse. I asked him twice for an interview and he walked right past me - he didn’t even acknowledge me.
Braves took their foot off the gas once they clinched, i'm not sure sure that's why they lost. But the Cards legitmately got every damn break i've ever seen vs us.
Did we watch the same series? Braves get enough breaks to win this series comfortably: Some very generous strike calls througout, highlighted by Melancon in the 9th inning of game 3 (crucial punchout of Ozuna was clearly inside); A gift leadoff triple late in game 4 AND a leadoff double in the 9th that also would have been caught by a competent outfielder; passed ball by Molina to move a runner to 3B; etc.
At some point, you just gotta take advantage of the breaks you're presented...
The Nationals' rotation is just money in a short series. They're healthy and everyone is on-point. They're kicking ass.
It really sucks though, because a Nats-Braves series would have been so much fun.
We've handled their starters pretty decently most of the year, but we've absolutely feasted off their BP. Definitely were set up for a better showing against them the ****ty ass Cards. Freddie and company really screwed the pooch for us.
