For the fourth year in a row. And I'm glad that they didn't have to go back to LA- I don't think they would have been able to beat Grienke and Wainwright has lost there the past two postseasons. I'm also glad to see the Dodgers pitch Kershaw- the Cardinals have his number in the postseason.
Here's one thing I love about baseball stats- you get crazy information like the fact that Matt Adams is the first LH hitter to hit a HR off of a Kershaw curveball. That's pretty remarkable.
Going forward, I like the fact that we get to keep the rotation intact for the NLCS. Wainwright, Lynn, Lackey, and then Miller. Pretty crazy to think that Wacha, Carlos Martinez, and Marco Gonzalez are all in the bullpen. It's good to see Rosenthal come back after being overworked and see Neshek rebound.
Getting Jhonny Peralta has made a huge difference compared to Kozma- I don't think the Cardinals lose all that much defensively with Peralta. Randal Grichuk is going to be a very good player. He has impressed me.
