Count was 0-2. You can’t make that call. Flores probably wasn’t going to make contact but you can’t end the series on an obvious non swing.

I am now a devoted Braves/Red Sox/Astros fan.

And Dickerson needs to be released.

One of the many, many, many things I like about Kruk and Kuip versus...well, any national announcing crew is that they will replay and dissect checked swings.  TBS failed to do that all week.

The major leagues needs to eliminate their umpires.  They're a joke.  Also a joke is not re-seeding during the playoffs, and if a division winner has a worse record than a wild card team, well, you start on the road, buddy.

Loved the season, even loved the playoffs.  When will two 109-win teams ever meet again?

Well, I listened to post game, and in immediate aftermath, Kruk said the umpire made the correct call on the check swing.  It was only in the regular post-game format that he backtracked to questionable/dubious call.  I don't know how anyone - let alone a trained umpire - would call that a swing.  More fundamentally, you need more clarity on the check  swing rule.  IMO, you can't measure intent, so you should go with angle of bat over home plate.

The Giants' hitting abandoned them in the post season, and they were never any good at small ball.  Bad bad combo.  We'll never know, but it's hard not to think the Giants missed Belt more than the Dodgers missed Muncy.

Dodgers are a very good team (obviously), so no shame in losing to them in 5.  It just sucks that season is over.

P.S.  Was hoping Kapler would let Slater bat - he has real Kaboom in his bat - and bring in Wade, if he felt he needed to, in Wilmer's slot.
