Phew!

got me out of posting a long diatribe about the lost art of bunting, thank god or whatever

 

[shuke]

LOL at "auto take".

 

[Frostillicus]

Pretty great game - congrats Mariners fans!

Thank you.

Losing to them sucks and they mostly look like a team of dirtbags but from a fan base perspective id root for them or brewers to win it all at this point

Maybe the tigers will actually spend some money or trade for someone better than Charlie Morton and a bag of balls . Otherwise they probably have another year or two of this before they start another 10
Year rebuild.

What they did at the trade deadline was criminal.

Will keep on rooting for those dirt bags from Seattle

Long shot, I know, to get past the next dirtbags

I hate this Carpenter dude with the heat of a thousand suns.

LOL...Carp is if not the nicest, one of the nicest players in MLB, he is really a good person.

This was by far the most frustrating 6 hour game I ever watched in my life, and I watched every out from start to finish. I was at a party at my daughter house and have not heard that many F bombs in years.

Naylors check swing double, then Skubal not checking him and letting the slowest guy on the team steal third was not a good start. Then Skubal was lights out.

Hinch had a full bench of pinch hitters and let Keith, Meadows flail away all night. Then the 2-3-4 hitters were 0-19 as well. Riley Greene was missing numerous pitches by 2 feet. I think I read the top 5 were like 1-29. Not going to win many games that way. Seattle was not much better. How both teams got out of those extra innings jams was unreal. I kept thinking the Big Dumper was going to end the game in extras with a HR or big hit.

When Hinch put in Kahne it was like waving the white flag and saying "We are tired, lets get this over" Kahne has not had a clean inning in months and looks like a BP pitcher.

Bottom line is Meadows, McKinstry, Keith, would not be starting on any team left in the playoffs. Meadows would be in the minors.

The plate umps strike zone was so erratic for both teams it has to be dealt with, at this point it is impacting the results of games. Also what is amazing is the amount of calls on the bases that are overturned, even though the base umps are right there in perfect position.

After this game even if they won Tigers would not get by Toronto with a depleted pitching staff.

 

[Instinctive]

I hope the Dodgers win every year so that maybe, just maybe, MLB puts a floor and cap in place.
Go Blue!

The owners would love to do this. The players would die before it happens.

Kahnle allowed 26 runs in his last 28 innings. He should have never been on the playoff roster let alone pitching in the game.

I still never want to see that Carpenter dude again!

Agreed very frustrating game. M’s had many opportunities and blew it repeatedly. I did feel good when Kahne came in. M’s have a couple versions of him that were probably close to getting in.

Toronto looking tough and that place is a nightmare to play at in October. Would be betting on them to win the series.

Interesting choice. Brewers are starting closer Trevor Megill tonight. Guess Pat Murphy must be sick of those 1st inning leads for the Cubs

The Cubs are starting Drew Pomeranz as the "opener". I thought Colin Rea would be given the start, as he has been quite good over the last month, but maybe he will come in after and be the bulk inning guy and hand it over to Keller/Palencia.

Its probably something like Pomeranz opening for Rea and MeGill opening for Quintana.

So…backup infielder should probably pitch the rest of the way

So, I didn’t notice I was watching a replay of game 4

 

[strykerpks]

Pretty obvious they were pumping crowd noise through the TV in Wrigley and muting Miller Park.

This woman in the yellow behind home plate sporting quite the outfit to support the home team!

That's Front Row Amy. She's at every game. Keeps score and charts every pitch

She's a local legend. Makes the 2 hour drive from Oshkosh for every game. Same seat for years.

Haha, that's quality schtick. Good for her.

 

[strykerpks]

We cover the front row Amy shtick every postseason. Maybe if the brewers would win a series more people would remember. She's also a butterface, buyer beware.

She's kinda like Joey Ortiz at the plate with the bases loaded. Not a bad idea on paper but in reality....oof

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Congrats, Brewers.

After last year's crushing loss to the Mets when everybody knew it was gonna be Bob Uecker's last game it's hard to describe how much this means

As a Royals fan and now Wisconsin resident I am very happen for this state and small market team. Congrats!

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Its really strange that the Brewers were 6-0 against the Dodgers this year and have home field advantage but are underdogs in game 1 and the series but I get it.
