Or because they would judge his season and not just one series... I mean what do you want people to say, he was one of the weaker regular SS in baseball all season as expected, he can get hot at the right time and it doesn't mean any criticism is wrong somehow. Nobody wants to see him fail, everyone hopes he hits a HR every single time he comes to the plate, I just don't get where this kind of comment even comes from. It's my understanding that the purpose of this thread was to give him credit for the way he played in the NLDS. Yes, he was one of the worst SS in baseball during the regular season, but he came up big in today's game. I would like the haters to at least admit that. Why though, I just don't get this at all? The worst player in baseball history can have a good 5 game stretch, should you apologize for understanding he is bad? It just makes no sense at all.
