Brewer baseball, baby. 13 strikeouts, a baserunning error, and half your runs on homers.

Sac bunt with the #2 hitter and two intentional walks, one with first and second. What decade is this?

Alex Vesia seems to have mellowed out some. He's no longer, to quote Craig, a sentient can of Monster Energy drink, but still looks mildly unhinged. I'm a fan.

"How can PECOTA keep underrating the Brewers!!" I scream as Brice Turang, who slugged under .400 as a pro between ages 18-24 before randomly gaining a million mph of bat speed and exit velo at age 25, takes Tarik Skubal deep the other way on an inside pitch.

It's going to happen at some point, agreed. This Dodgers team is very old and some of their pillars are already starting to slip. (Please someone beat them before Josue De Paula turns into Yordan)

Every broadcaster on Earth has a contract. Every one of them is connected to a network. Or a couple of them. There is SOMEONE for whom they are NOT allowed to work, which is what makes them valuable to the places they DO work. This is universal. Except for Matt Vasgersian.

Oh it's probably just pregame, thank fucking God

Oh my god don't f****** tell me

Cleveland pitchers struck out 21 batters tonight That’s the most in a 9-inning postseason or regular season game (since at least 1900 on reg)

Haven't seen the catholic church disrespected like this since the early 30s in Spain

And as much as Caminero stings, he was close to a coin flip. Hard to throw the book at them too hard.

And I think I agree with them on this one fwiw. Tugboat is fun but that's a reliever profile long term.

Agreed. Fixing your catching situation in May is an oddity. Have we considered that maybe Posey thinks good catchers are a dime a dozen because it wasn't that hard for him to be one?

I don't know if I'd call it a Common Buster Posey L because Tugboat might be something, but the process was weird so I'm rolling my eyes at Posey for that one anyway.

bringing in a guy with a career 15% walk rate to face a very patient hitter with the bases loaded is very brave managing. of course, sabrowski is also one of the few pitchers with an even higher career strikeout rate than murakami (37% to 35%)

Pretty sure everyone watching knew he was getting thrown out at third before he even rounded first. Way too many revs running up the line LMAO

Is there a better example of what 80-grade barrel awareness and plate coverage looks like? I don't think so.

Feeling pretty good about having ranked the Brewers, Dodgers, Rays, and Guardians as the top four front offices last month in a process based methodology that didn’t care much about past playoff success

It's pretty funny that the decisive game of the Guardians - White Sox series, which has seen roughly 173620287 pitchers per game on both sides, is a pretty traditional-looking contest between each team's best starter with what will probably be the longest SP leash of the series.

i'm sorry, but it's still incredibly funny to imagine a literal pope watching this and yelling at the TV
