Brewers win!! Come home to rest, 1st game against the Dodgers is Sunday.

Should be a good LCS.

Should be a good LCS.

Maybe this year is supposed to be the Story about the Milwaukee Brewers?

I think we both know it will be the usual - the Dodgers and "the team the Dodgers are playing"

Exactly. kinda like a broken record.
I used to feel that way about the Yankees.
All I know is this is the Series I’ve fallen asleep twice in the 7th inning stretch. Only to wake up to a Win! This has been fun.. I’m both rested and relaxed with nice Wins!

Now... you just keep doing that.

Gasser vs Buehler, tonight. Brewers need to close it out and prove to themselves they can win big games on the road.

They had lost an unreal 12-straight road playoff games. The win last night was sweet. And the Padres were a lot better than I anticipated. Bring on the Dodgers, again…….

 

[GBkrzygrl]

I just kept telling them. "You are the Best Team is Baseball. You got this".

No one expects them to beat the Dodgers. But they can do it. They just have to play their game.

 

[OldSchool101]

That means 4 of our first 6 games are played at home. Momentum is a real thing and getting a fast start is huge when playing good teams like the Padres or Dodgers. As someone mentioned, San Diego was the hottest team in the league coming into Milwaukee. Talk about cooling them off!

Brewers win!! Come home to rest, 1st game against the Dodgers is Sunday.

Can we assume the same pitching rotation?

 

[Pkrjones]

Can we assume the same pitching rotation?

Yes, guessing it'll be:
Miz 1&5
Henderson 2&6
Gasser 3&7
May 4
...unless Gasser & May flip-flop. Would LOVE for Brewers to win in 5, with Miz winning 5 @ LA.

Our ace is looking shaky in his second playoff start. As dominant as he was this season he might need another year or two of seasoning before he's really ready for the postseason.

Only made 4 innings vs San Diego due to a high pitch count... right now he's at 66 with 2 out in the 3rd

 

[Poppa San]

But the bullpen carried the day. 1 win down, 3 to go. Just need to play .500 ball.

 

[DoURant]

Brewers take 1-0 lead in the series. Beat Skubal, bullpen closes the game with no runs allowed. 1 down, on to the next game.

I think that's become the book on Miz - make contact and let him burn himself out. Teams that can hit well will just make contact and foul one after the other off. Go Crew ...

 

[weeds]

Lauren fouling that pitch off of his knee scared the living s**t out of me.

He's going to have to modify his approach at this point. He needs to pound the zone with his off speed stuff, they are selling out on his fastball.

I think the announcers said he needs to be completely sure of his fastball before he starts throwing much of anything else. He might want to rethink that. At least sprinkle in some other stuff. Especially if he's ahead in the count.

 

[Pkrjones]

The Dodgers were extremely patient at the plate and didn't chase bad pitches. That said, Brewer pitchers can't throw 1.5' outside on 0-2. It's got to be close, or a big curve that starts hittable. The sinkers in the dirt tempt nobody (on the Dodgers).

NOT impressed with Megill as closer. His junk pitches were all in the dirt, and he walked 2 in the 9th... can't let that happen.

I heard 12 consecutive playoff road game losses. Enough of that s**t beginning tonight.

Not only that... from what I've been able to find, they're now 6-24 on the road in the postseason all time - that's .200 ball.

I submit that Milwaukee is a more favorable environment for them.

Now that they have home field advantage through the postseason, it's quite possible they could stretch that 12 consecutive game record to 18 consecutive postseason road losses and still win the World Series. I dunno if that's some sort of record, but if it isn't, it sure seems to me that it ought to be.

Another interesting statistical quirk... of the 4 remaining teams in MLB, all 4 of them are division winners. There have been no upsets in the wild card round; in each first round matchup, the team with the better record won the series. In the divisional round, each series was won by a division leader.

Of the 4 teams with the best regular season record, 3 of them are still playing in the league championship series. The reason the 4th of the 4 best teams (Atlanta) is out is because they were bounced by the 2nd best team, the Dodgers. Only 1 of the 2 could advance, and it was the better of the 2 teams. Atlanta is also the only division winner to lose a series, I believe.

I really don't know if I've ever seen that before; at least, I certainly don't remember it. Not a single actual upset in the first 2 rounds.

As fans of the team with the best regular season record in the majors, I think it's safe to say we're all hoping that pattern continues all the way into November!

They won one in San Diego ending that streak I think. ...but playing in LA might add to the frustration I fear. I don't like those guys.

 

[weeds]

THATS 2!!

 

[Zartan]

Man I missed most of the game was at work.

Caught the tail end starting at bottom of the 8th.

This is like the 2010 Packers and the magic carpet ride.

Our guys aren't afraid of me this years
