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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

I mean the Jays scored like 50 runs in 4 games vs the Yankees.

I spent a few hours yesterday cleaning up my garage party room for cigars and baseball with the guys but as of this morning ended up with tickets to Brewers-Dodgers games tonight and tomorrow. Of course I'm preparing for the worst.

The Brewers are the type of team that give the Dodgers trouble. They put the ball in play and can run, something that stressed the Cubs out even though they have Gold Glove caliber defenders throughout the lineup.
The Dodgers are a poor defensive team, not just with errors but bad fundamentals: missed cutoffs/throwing to the wrong base/slow on the double play.
I like the Brewers chances. If they can keep Ohtani and Freeman in reasonable check, and make the Dodgers pitchers work and grind, then good things will happen.

This might have been posted already, but wow, what a neat manager you guys have in Milwaukie. I know who I'm rooting for in the NL.

Sandy Alomar (1943-2025)
Before he became the patriarch of a Puerto Rican baseball dynasty, Alomar was an undersized second baseman who was a good enough with the glove to stay in the majors for fourteen years in spite of a career .578 OPS. Alomar stayed in the game as the manager of the Puerto Rican national team and as a longtime major league coach.

Murphy does this before every press conference. Asks new faces to introduce themselves, asks if they're married, children, etc. He makes it a point to not only know their names but to know a little bit about them. As good of a manager he is he's an even better human.
