Oso planning to go pro
Is this what purgatory feels like
Only thing to second guess is not bunting Pina to 3rd.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Let the second guessing begin...
Interesting to think about what might have been if the umps had the courage to make the right call and eject Machado.
Unless the guys remember how to hit in the next 14.5 hours, they're done. Just a killer loss.
I'm not sure I would classify it as such. Game 2 was worse. The Dodgers aren't hitting either because both teams are using their pitching so well. The Dodgers left more on base than the Brewers did and really could have broken the game open early but didn't manage to do that.This is what playoff baseball can look like - especially with evenly matched teams.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Do the Brewers throw at Machado?
Not until next year. Other news - Gio out - Davies in. Gio done for year with High Ankle Sprain.
It's always tough to lose a game that goes so long. The team that wins feels like a "team of destiny" and the one that loses feels like breaks might not be going their way -- or maybe I should say a team's fans might feel that way.The Brewers aren't hitting much ... but neither are the Dodgers. Welcome to October baseball. I think the Crew is in excellent position. If they beat Kershaw today, they will win the series in 6 IMHO. Even if they lose today, they still are very much in it.I absolutely hate sacrifice bunts, but even I probably would have bunted over Pina. Having said that, I think CC has done well in his first postseason. He needs to get a bigger cap, though; he has a big red line across his forehead, and he kept trying to solve the problem by moving the cap further back on his head. I know the Brewers have some pricey players, but they can afford a new cap for their skipper!

Counsell is already on the record that he despises sac bunting (bunting for a hit or squeeze is ok)... I don't know how much of that has to do with the fact that the Brewers seem to struggle in the bunting opportunities they've had this year (in over 300 games, Arcia only has 3 sac bunts), but with the way Arcia had been hitting in the Postseason, and given LA's late-inning prowess in the first three games, I think Counsell going for a crooked number in the 7th was the right move.
Part of it has certainly been good pitching, though I think there were some hitters with really terrible approaches last night that led to some really bad ABs. Regardless of outcome, the guys that I would say had a good plan they executed in their ABs were Justin Turner and Ryan Braun. Most of the other guys (especially on the Dodgers) seemed like they were trying to hit a HR every single time.
Brewers don't play the Yankee's next year, so it would have to be this series. That being said, absolutely no, do not throw at him, Dodgers line-up is good enough without giving free bases. I don't want to essentially reward a player for being dirty. If you really want to get him back, sit em down.
I’ll be shocked if Manny goes to the Yankees. I think Philly is the big fave with LA next.
