Luck, Schmuck. What difference does it make? 2012, if the ump calls 2 borderline pitches strikes against St. Louis, Storen strikes out Molina and we win the series. Maybe Storen's career and the arc of the franchise changes dramatically if that happens. Maybe we go on a San Fran-like run for the next 8 years. The only other what-if was game 5 of the Cubs series, when that crazy strike out, passed ball thing happened. If that was called correctly, who knows?
I would say the only real luck we got in 2019 playoffs was the 8th inning of the WC game. MAT getting nicked by a pitch, Zimm with a broken bat hit, and then Soto's hit taking a sideways bounce.
