10 runs without a HR.  Black magic.

I hate the Brewers but wish Ueker was alive to see this

[Derwood]

I'm happy to not watch a minute of this world series. They can celebrate without me

The Brewers are taking away a lot of excuses that owners use to cover for their incompetence.

Have we started to see in these playoffs where maybe teams have finally gone too far with the bullpen usage?  Or is that just me wishing it to be true?

Not if they have 3 elite relievers who have had lots of days off this month for rest.

Replaying the 5th inning now. So the Brewers were 2 outs, 1-2 to Yelich and they scored 8 runs. Puts into perspective what it’s like to be a Cubs supporter.

I wonder how much the Brewers spend on all their operations outside of payroll.

And no HR.  They were 2nd last in the mlb in HR hit, which is wild.

With a young fast team i guess the walk/steal/single-double thing works with the right guys.

I wonder if blowouts are more rare for them compared to a HR team like the Cubs.  I'd like to see stats to as if they're more efficient with run scoring.  Our pythag W/L record was 95-67, and theirs was exactly the same as their real record.  We're so streaky.

Gasser in the postseason: 0.60 ERA with 4.51 xFIP in 15 innings.😂

I've been seeing a lot of "but but the Brewers can't re-sign their stars" without anyone taking note of the fact that the Brewers are here precisely because they don't re-sign their stars and keep flipping them for other guys that they make stars. If they had those stars instead, they'd probably not have even won the division.

At least we now know the Cubs are not the only team that falls apart at the all mighty Brewers team. Welcome to the "Falls Apart to the Brewers" Club, LAD,, San Diego and Rays.

I question whether they get past SD if the roof was open for that series.
