They won't have the luxury of facing a tired Boyd or a struggling Shota. They won't have many chances for their dribblers, etc. Also, what the Brewers have done this season is a non-sustainable statistical outlier so, Brewers fans enjoy it while you can.
Nice catch by PCA made it so easy and, you know what, there isn't a Brewer who could come remotely close to doing what PCA just did. I'll take what I can.
It's going to be the Dodgers, thinking they're going to roll through everyone to another WS which really sucks. They're a very bad match up for the Brewers all their starters are healthy, all feature velocity. Even resident Brewers fan Matt has to admit the Dodgers are a bad match up.

I honestly have no problem with him letting walk, his injury history won't improve with age. Go after Cease or King or both. Shaw will improve, Busch will probably get better, I'd gladly trade Tucker for Cease/King and Cassie in RF.
After Ashby, near as I can tell, Koenig and Gasser the remaining LHP in their pen. If a miracle occurs and the Cubs jump on Ashby, I don't they can avoid Busch facing a righty.
It'd be cool to see what Brett Bielema could do with that type of talent. If Illinois could ever recruit at a higher level we might see a real threat in Champaign.
Appears he can recruit, they've got some NFL type talent in several places, that's most of the battle in college football. Just that, last Saturday notwithstanding, has trouble beating other teams with NFL types.
I'm teetering along the same lines, I think it'd really sweet if the Cubs could get this one tonight. Put all the pressure on the Brewers going into Chicago. Realistically, neither of these teams is going to beat the Dodgers or Phillies. It's baseball anything can happen, we've seen not so good WC teams make the WS, we've seen not good teams win the WS.
Sure, but, teams, knowing the Cubs were in a bind, asks were unreasonable. Don't think I'd been too please with Jed giving up the farm for Gallen, Kelly, Houser, etc.
Same here with my wife, she only pays attention to the commercials and half-time show. Though she's not yacking it up during the game, most times, she's reading or looking at her phone.
Jason as you are a pitching data guru, thought I also saw something about Priester out-pitching his metrics for most, if not, all of this season? Might have been a Red Sox site discussing the merits of their trade with the Brewers and how it currently appears to be one-sided but, may not be for long.
I don't believe there's any coach who can make Young grow another 5+ inches. Young might be best served to take the Doug Flutie route and go to the CFL.
It's really a shame, I wanted him to succeed, he's taken and dealt with a plethora crap and handed it pretty well. Through all of it he's worked his ass off, he deserves some success.
I knew that, Priester is kind of guy the Cubs have crushed almost all season, keeps the ball down, nothing overpowering, right in the Cubs' wheelhouse.
