It's all over for the Dodgers. The touted "Freeway World Series" between the Angels and Dodgers is a smirk in the eye of the baseball gods. Three and out, four and out for the two respectively, in a five game series.
My own analysis? Vaunted Pitcher Kershaw for the Dodgers could have used a little more of what 2nd ranked pitcher Greinke of the Dodgers evidences at a higher level still: the "art" of pitching.
Robert Francis says it about as well as anyone I know:
Pitcher
by Robert Francis
His art is eccentricity, his aim How not to hit the mark he seems to aim at,
His passion how to avoid the obvious,
His technique how to vary the avoidance.
The others throw to be comprehended. He
Throws to be a moment misunderstood.
Yet not too much. Not errant, arrant, wild,
But every seeming aberration willed.
Not to, yet still, still to communicate
Making the batter understand too late.
