Postseason Thread

Dominant performance by John Lackey. Was he on anyone's list of dominant starting pitchers before the post-season began?
 
Who cares about the game, show more Sam Ryan!

On a more serious note, this pitching matchup so far has been Phenominal. Reminds me of the days when it was Maddux Glavine Smoltz vs Brown Schilling Johnson Cone etc
 
And the guy the Mets tried to trade for 2 years because he doesn't fit their offensive philosophy homers to give the Mets the lead.

I really have no dog in this fight, though if I had to root for one, it might be the Mets (can't believe I just typed that). Though this game is certainly not making me look forward to several more years of Jacob DeGrom in the division.

There has been some questionable strike calls all day today.

Ghost of Eric Gregg still haunts. Cubs really have ghosts possessing them. Some of those strikes were 6 inches off the plate and when announcers say the same thing, something is wrong.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. There were some bad ones in the extra innings of the TEX/TOR game. Kind of surprised nobody got tossed Friday.

The thing that annoys me about DeGrom is he wasn't even a prospect. 10th round pick who debuted at age 26 and wasn't dominant in the minors.
 
And now Trevor Cahill pitching the 8th inning of a playoff game with his team up by 3, unbelievable. Joe Simpson talking about how he turned his life around somehow after coming over to Chicago. Why couldn't he have done that in Atlanta?

More evidence that McDowell has become overrated?
 
It's interesting to watch these playoffs and see hitters stepping up at the plate and then realize the Braves seemingly never have this happen. In the past three playoff series the Braves have had (2010, 2012, 2013), who has had a big hit?

2010: Alex Gonzalez and Rick Ankiel in Game 2, Eric Hinske (to score Alex Gonzalez) in Game 3
2012: David Ross HR
2013: Simmons/C. Johnson (Game 2), C. Johnson/Elliot Johnson/J. Constanza (Game 4)

Why is it that our stars never seem to step up in these games?
