That's what I've said all along--these PS series are mostly the luck of a SSS.
Look at the Royals right now: last in baseball by over 10% in HRs and they have eight in six games. Gordon breaks his bat on a flyball and drives in three because of the count and number of outs. Today, Infante hits a swinging bunt to third in the 9th. Then, Yost takes the bat out of the hand of a hot hitter with pop to bunt, giving up an out. A huge mistake. Next batter slaps one oppo that would have been a routine GIDP had the 1B been holding the runner on at first.
Baseball is incredibly hard and requires a great deal of skill, but over the course of a short series, luck will always trump skill. That's why the best Cardinal team of my life didn't win a single game in the WS but one that won 83 ****ing games won the whole thing.
