  1. My dog could’ve made that catch in the 5th inning and he doesn’t even have opposable thumbs lol. Also did anyone else see the fan with the giant foam finger that fell over the railing? That was the real highlight of game 3 honestly 😂

  2. Oh sure, ‘fiery games’ – if by fiery you mean watching paint dry between pitching changes. Four hours for nine innings is really what baseball needs to attract younger fans, right? Absolutely riveting stuff.

  3. Honestly the Cardinals dont deserve to be here after that embarrassing regular season stretch. The umping has been atrocious too, like that missed call in the 7th inning yesterday was a joke. MLB needs to get their act together.

  4. Just to clarify some confusion I’m seeing: this is actually a best-of-five divisional series, not the championship. The winner advances to face either the Dodgers or Diamondbacks. Also the ‘standard final’ in the title is probably a translation error or typo – should be ‘pivotal finale’ maybe?

  5. What an absolute nail-biter series! Both teams are playing with such intensity and passion. The Cardinals bullpen really stepped up in game 3, and the Padres offense has been unstopable. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out!

  6. For those wondering about the stats: Cardinals are batting .267 as a team this series with 12 runs scored across 3 games. Padres have a slight edge at .281 with 14 runs. The pitching matchup for game 4 will be crucial – both starters have ERA’s under 3.00 this postseason.

  7. This series has been absolutley everything you could ask for in playoff baseball. The momentum shifts, the clutch hitting, even the managment decisions have been fascinating. Both teams are leaving everything on the feild.

  8. Breaking: local baseball teams remember how to play baseball, fans shocked. Next up: water confirmed to be wet. More at 11.

  9. Yeah the Padres offense has been ‘unstoppable’ except for game 1 when they scored exactly ONE run and game 2 when they left 11 runners on base. But sure lets all pretend their gonna sweep. Cardinals pitching staff is top 3 in the league for a reason people need to respect that.

  10. The Cardinals manager needs to be fired after this regardless of the outcome. His bullpen management has been questionable at best, leaving pitchers in way to long. And dont even get me started on the lineup decisions.

  11. Everyone keeps praising the Padres but lets be real here, there closer has blown 2 saves already this month and thier defense made 3 errors in game 2. Cardinals have way more playoff experience and thats gonna matter when the pressure is on.
