Wild National League Division Series victory over Dodgers belongs in the past as Padres chase rare World Series shot in NLCS against Philadelphia
Forget any possible confidence-padding thoughts aboutbeing the final team to skid into the NL playoffs with 87 wins. You had 89. The Braves used 88 as a launching pad to last season’s world championship.
“We are very aware that played extremely well, as well as we have, too. This is just as big a chore as any of the other series and I think our guys know that.”Stiff-arming the Dodgers already makes this season feel like an unqualified success, which amplifies the danger. The edge that put you in position toand shake San Diego to its roots requires sharpening each round to make a World Series possible.
Then again, players say that sort of thing. In the moment, almost all of them mean it. The Yankees and Red Sox routinely swear the focus remains laser-like, but both have fallen victim to the energized meat grinder after a heated postseason series with soaring stakes against a nagging nemesis roars to a close.“I can’t talk for everybody else, but as far as myself, yeah, there is a sense of satisfaction being able to beat the Dodgers and being here,”, said via translator Shingo Horie.
