They made a deal with the devil.
Cards just seem to be built for playoff baseball & I'm not sure the Reds are.
Of course I'm pretty bitter right know so...
Cards = situational hitting.
Reds (except Votto) = trying to hit the Tundra sign regardless of the count, score, etc.

Spot on. The playoffs is all about pitching and situational hitting. We are almost totally lacking in the latter.
But that shouldn't suprise us as the manager and hitting coach do not insist on our players learing to do it. "Get a good pitch and whale on it" is the hitting philosophy now, and we will be unlikely to win a WS until that philosophy changes.

.236 minor league hitters becoming post season hero's isn't clutch its luck, the same way they get every check swing call while the Nats got rang up and how they drew 8 walks to the Nats one.
BABIP loves the Cards and we can't catch a break with it.
And yesterday, a call that had been a strike all game was called a ball for the Nats that gave way to the Werth homerun. I respect the heck out of you Hometown, but it's time to give the Birds a little credit. Their fight is unbelievable. I've been a Cardinal fan. Born and raised, and even I can't explain how it happens time and time again.
They were 6 games out of the normal WC spot and are now in the last two NLCS despite finishing 15 total games out of 1st. In the playoffs its getting in and getting lucky and the Cards are the best team at that in the game.
A money making gimmick is literally the only way they get into the playoffs, no other year in the history of MLB would they have made it but this one and now they are going to go to the WS yet again with a poor record for the 3rd time in 7 years.
If we're going to talk calls.
And the check swing in the 9th the late infield fly, the list can go on forever.

And there's been plenty of calls that have gone either way. Poor umpiring is going to happen. I openly admit the infield fly was a joke. But blaming the Cardinals for being the team to make the second WC is kinda lame. If the second WC beat the Reds, you'd be complaining about that. Don't blame the Cardinals for making the playoffs under the current rules. Blame those who made the rules. The Cardinals did what they needed too to make it into the playoffs. Is it kind of a joke, sure. But under the current rules, they did what they needed too. Different point. During the NCAA tournament, when a 6 seed knocks off a 1 or 2 seed, is a joke? Is it a farce? No. The playoffs are just that, the teams that made it under the current rules.They were 6 games out of the normal WC spot and are now in the last two NLCS despite finishing 15 total games out of 1st. In the playoffs its getting in and getting lucky and the Cards are the best team at that in the game.

I'd be making the same argument if the Reds were the WC and the Cards won the central. Don't blame the teams that compete.
Look guys....it was not the Cards that knocked you out in this Post season.
Stop hating.
LOL your bitterness is absolutely hilarious, makes winning that much more enjoyable.They were 6 games out of the normal WC spot and are now in the last two NLCS despite finishing 15 total games out of 1st.

Like I said I told you the Cards trolls would be out in full force, they pulled a rabbit out of their ass and the first thing they want to do is come to a Reds board. Seems like the Cards fans may have a slight inferiority complex.
The fact we have 30 guests at 4AM Cincinnati time over 36 hours after the Reds finished playing shows how butthurt the Cards fans are in life even when their team wins then need to reach for justification or validation.

I never want the Reds to get the 2nd WC I have said how dumb the idea was before the Cards even won it. Each year MLB is devaluing its regular season and all that matters is the last two week getting hot and winning some short series that play noting like the 162 grind that decides who make its.
I agree with you. 100%. I've thought it should be a play off of the league champions. Best record get 1st round bye and meets the winner of the division series. But that's not how things are.
That being said, under the current rules, will you give the Birds even a shred of credit for fighting back? I said numerous times after Votto went down how impressive the run of victories was the Reds went on. Even the tiniest bit of credit?
