Nice job TBS talking over the player introductions with your stupid chuckleheads.

We ain’t tuning in for them.

HEY TBS THESE ARE SPECIAL GAMES HOW ABOUT YOU TREAT THEM ACCORDINGLY YOU ****ING **** NUTS.

 

[heckmanm]

Crazy DP

 

[The Kerminator]

WOW

 

[kcahnabru]

What a WILD play

 

[The Kerminator]

#Ueckermagic

 

[Eephus]

your basic 8-6-2 double play with outs at home and third

 

[The Kerminator]

Brilliant play from William Contreras keeping his foot on home plate and not even going for a tag, knowing it’s a force out. Never mind he then got the second out at third. Unreal

 

[ChiefD]

One of the greatest plays I’ve ever seen. Just as amazing was the umps calling it correctly in real time.

 

[kcahnabru]

loved the slow jog to 3rd when he knew nobody else on the Dodgers was up to snuff

Also kudos to the announcers with the call as it's happening and the explanation

 

[The Kerminator]

I've watched a lot of baseball in my lifetime and I've never seen such a wild play. And then given the circumstances

 

[The Kerminator]

Brewers only hope is Roberts takes Snell out

 

[kupcho1]

I think I'm team dirtbag

 

[The Kerminator]

Gonna need some of that Uecker magic in the 9th. Masterclass by Snell

 

[Dickies]

This is hard to watch as a Giants fan

 

[fred_1_15301]

Uh oh. Roberts pulling Sasaki for Blake. What could go wrong?

 

[Yo Mama]

Mookie now with two game-winning bases loaded walks in these playoffs.

 

[Capella]

So the Dodgers are just going to win it all again?

 

[kupcho1]

Looking forward to all of the 10pm Eastern start times for the upcoming Dodgers v Mariners World Series.

Muncy hit a grand slam home run but its scored as grounded into double play

The Brewers started the season 0-4, losing 47-15. They were 25-28 on May 24, in 4th place of the NLC, 6.5 games back of the Cubs. I ain't writing this team off just yet. Some blind homer optimism for sure, but Snell tossing a gem and still having an opportunity in the 9th to win doesn't mean this is over by any stretch. Bucks Brewers in 6.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Because they scored 2 runs and won 1 game?

 

[Capella]

I mean more because they are 6-1 in the playoffs but yea sure.

Having the second highest payroll in baseball and being stacked with talent sure doesn't hurt their case.

Muncy hit a grand slam home run but its scored as grounded into double play

I still can't figure out wth the Dodger baserunners were doing. Even if the runner on 3rd assumes it's a caught flyball and tags up he should still score easily. Likewise for the runner at 2nd. He should be able to tag up and advanced to 3rd. The ball was hit to deep center. Deep enough for both runners to advance whether the ball was caught or not. Are the Dodgers always that bad at baserunning?

 

[The Kerminator]

So the Dodgers are just going to win it all again?

I've watched the Brewers all season and still haven't figured out how this team just keeps on winning. But they do. And I don't expect them to go down easily. I'd be surprised if this doesn't go the full seven. The Brewers always seem to bounce back

The Brewers are a mirror image of the Royals 2015 team that won it all. Royals had a slightly better bullpen. The Brewers are good enough to win it all.

 

[Gr00vus]

Ohtani picked a good time for his first hit today.

 

[Gr00vus]

Yamamoto has been dealing. He's thrown some ridiculous curveballs tonight.

 

[Yo Mama]

Yamamoto has been dealing. He's thrown some ridiculous curveballs tonight.

First postseason complete game in 8 years. I was going to be pissed if Roberts pulled hem like he did Snell yesterday.

 

[FairWarning]

So the Dodgers are just going to win it all again?

Because they get 4-5 chances/game where Milwaukee gets 2-3. The Dodgers have more room for error as they are built for the playoffs.

 

[The Kerminator]

Brewers played all season taking pitches, working the count, putting pressure on the defense, taking the extra base. They haven't done that at all this series. Whether that's due to their inexperience or the Dodgers great starting pitching or a little bit of both I'm not sure. But they need to get back to that if they even want to have a slight chance.

Teoscar was on 3rd and was obviously confused by the "events", as was almost everyone else. Keeke' and Will Smith certainly were. Teoscar left for home, went back to 3rd to tag up, left again and went back to 3rd again. Seems obvious Contreras knew what was happening as he went for the force out instead trying to apply a tag. Meanwhile, Will Smith thought it was a fly out and had run back from 3rd to 2nd. By then the ball was at home and he was an easy force out at 3rd. Crazy play, heat of the moment. Even frelick wasn't sure what happened as along with the stunned look in this clip he said "what the hell happened" and the announcer says that the throw was not in time. https://x.com/Brewers/status/1977904261083066613


Lol at having to purposely misspell Enrique's name

Same can be said for the Jays, yet here we are with both teams pretty much on the brink. Both teams were also great at home all season yet managed 6 runs and 14 total hits between them over 4 games. Those are ridiculous numbers.

 

[Gally]

Problem was that they weren't sure what was happening. Teoscar left early then thought it was caught so he went back to tag so this took more time than usual. He screwed up as he should have just tagged from the get go and left as soon as it hit the fielders glove (catch or not).

Will Smith (runner at 2B) didn't tag up. He was mostly to third and then thought it was caught so he just went back to 2B as if the ball was caught (probably hard to see it glance off the wall after the initial tip off the CF'rs glove. Once he made the decision not to tag originally he really had no other choice but to go back to the bag since he thought the CF caught the fly ball.

I wouldn't necessarily say it was bad baserunning (except for Teoscar) but there definitely was a better way to have approached the play from the beginning. If everyone tags up from the start there is nobody out. Everyone would have advanced one base (except maybe the runner at 1B as he should go half way regardless and if he thought it got caught he would have returned to 1B and they likely get the force out at 2B on him.

I'm not sure why everyone wasn't tagging from the jump. It was either a HR/easy extra base hit or a fly out. Safe play either way was to tag.

I think it's Dodgers pitching more than anything. Snell and Yamamoto threw a ton of strikes.

Unfortunately for the Brewers the 2025 Dodgers exist. Team is loaded from top to bottom with only "weakness" is their bullpen. Yelich needs to flip and switch and figure something out quickly. Unfortunately the Brewers are hanging on by a thread right now.

The Brewers approach at the plate has been night and day from their approach during the regular season. My guess is the scouting report was get these guys early in the count or else you don't have a chance. Turns out they didn't have a chance either way.

Seattle is stupid for not having the roof closed.

Seattle is the most pitcher-friendly park in MLB? That surprised me.

Depends a little on what you are looking at, but overall it has a Park Factor of 91 for the last 3 years. Next closest is a handful of stadiums at 97. Also worse for RHBs than LHBs.

Why is the Mariner mascot a moose? Should've gone with Poseidon or something nautical.

El Capi was robbed! Nice play

The result of a children's competition in the Kingdome years. The previous mascot was "Spacey the Needle"
