I’ve been to Tampa several times.  It seems like no one who lives there is a native to Tampa.  Plus, that repurposed airport hangar of a stadium is miles from the city.

Kudos to the Brewers for not caving under the pressure of facing Brandon Pfadt in a critical game

Carroll is a beast

I'm stunned that he is starting game 1 of their series.  I knew they had to throw Kelly and Gallen over the weekend but didn't realize that dude is their number 3.  Yikes...or they got fooled by his amazing dominance against Chicago teams in September, and figured it might play farther up Lake Michigan.  

In September he made 3 starts against the Chicago teams, combining for 4 ER in 17 IP.  Against the other teams he faced in September he had 13 ER in 12 IP.

Split this off so it's easier to find in-game chatter.  

 

This Brewers/DBacks game has had some bombs.

that non-send was wild

Schwarbs has to near the top of active players in playoff games played.

I watched a half inning of ARZ/MIL before I remembered that I don't give two shits about these teams

[UMFan83]

Sucks that no West teams are hosting any WC round games.  Have to imagine they would have liked to have had a game in the 8 or 9pm ct window.

This made me curious so I tried spot checking, there's a few guys with a couple more games than him(Mookie, Chris Taylor, Seager, Jansen),  and then a handful of guys with 30+ more than him: Correa, Altuve, Bregman, Justin Turner

Corbin Carroll is a very good player and I'm certain we'd love him as a Cub but, he looks and talks, I don't know, I hate him.  A porn-stached irritating horsefeathers.

Boog on a national broadcast sounds like a different person.  Legit didnt even realize it was Boog for like 20 minutes (albeit I was only half paying attention)  Now that I know its obvious but seems like he uses a different tone for these games

Besides beating each other neither of these teams is going any further.  Why doesn't Counsel bring in that dork who mesmerized the Cubs last Friday?

Everyone keeps saying Burnes and Woodruff will allow the Brewers to get far in October and they've never really done anything.  Maybe Woodruff and Perhalta will lead the Brewers to the NLDS the next couple of days but I can't see them hanging with the Dodgers.

Now down 1-0 and with the prospect of facing Gallen and Kelly, I'd say the Brewers are done.

Woodruff's shoulder asploded

Whoops, yeah I did see that.  Since roughly Friday I've barely paid any attention to baseball.  Welp, so much for that Brewers.

The Twins ... won a playoff game?

Rangers up 5-0 looking good, the bullpen though, but, the Rays aren't really hitting, we'll see.

[gflore34]

Okay, thinking even the Rangers pen can hold a 7 run lead over 3 innings.

[17 Seconds]

it's funny how brewers fans have completely turned on burnes and are happy he'll probably be traded this offseason. they'll miss him when he's gone.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Rays powerful offense was completely neutralized 

[17 Seconds]

oh no vlad

[Derwood]

Imagine winning 99 games and then scoring 1 run in a playoff sweep
