Of course the Brewers rob the Padres of a game tying HR with 2 outs in the 8th inning. You can’t make this horsefeathers up

brewers have 10 hits with a .256 xBA, padres have 3 with a .245 xBA

Everyone knows if they don’t want the Dodgers winning another WS, they have to lose in the LCS because they aren’t losing to that AL lot. 

The alternative is the Brewers beating the Dodgers and then having enough for any of those AL teams to handle. So, I guess the best result is watching another Dodgers WS.

To see the Yankees lose because their fans try to become the next Jeffrey Maier is a thing of beauty. 

 

I liked when they showed the first view, facing the fence, where you couldn't tell at all if it was going to go out, the announcers were like "well, that looks like a home run". Then when they showed the side view, where it clearly wasn't going out they were forced to backtrack.

best result left is the guards or rays beating the dodgers in the ws. probably have to be the rays because the guardians are dogshit

I really want the Rays to get their first WS and I think they will get it.

The Dodgers are our playoff disinfectant until all threats are eliminated. If they eliminate the Brewers then we should appreciate them for keeping the Brewers from winning the pennant 3 times since 2018.

It's going to be real hard for the owners to claim desperate need of a salary cap when 3 of the last 4 teams left will be the Rays, Brewers and White Sox/Guardians

Dream scenario.  White Sox choke the ALDS away. LAD sweep the Brewers,  Tampa beats Cleveland.  Then Tampa wins WS

Why is it everything Boyd throws looks slow, slower and slowest while, comparable LHP's - Ian Seymour, Foster Griffin - I'm watching in playoffs.  Appear to throw harder and have superior stuff to Boyd?  Guns are registering about the same for all of them yet, Boyd looks like a soft ball pitcher.

Comparable LHP's like Shota, Steele and Garrett?  Boyd is slightly faster than those guys.😄
