By game 5/6, I knew who I needed to be worried about on the Cards based on how they were performing in that series. And I knew that Drew wasn't exactly lighting it up.
And obviously even Bucky F'ing Dent can hit a home run, and every MLB hitter is potentially going to get a hit, but nobody will confuse Drew for Papi, or Freese for Beltran or Molina. After all, there's a reason they're hitting in the 7 or 8 spots.

And yet you can't keep butting your dumb ****ing **** head in here to give an uninformed opinion.
There are good ML hitters and bad ones. Drew has consistently been a good hitter. His approach was not terrible in the playoffs. I doubt the Cardinal pitchers were treating him as an automatic out.
If you weren't afraid when Holliday came up, you seriously don't know what the **** you're watching. Of the four hardest hit balls in that series, three were off his bat. Same with Matt Carpenter. He consistently took excellent ABs and hit into really bad luck. Molina was hitting line drives all over the park, and Craig hit over .400.
They are also excellent MLB hitters over the course of an entire season, and batted ball luck over the course of six games doesn't change that, especially when they were routinely hitting line drives.
