Welp looks like May-July Nathan Eovaldi is back at just the right time for the Rangers.

Elfin was dealing opposed him.  Got out of a jam really well in the 3rd...then got shelled

Carlos Correa might be the most clutch player in baseball history.  Great contract, great player.

[tower912]

Congratulations to the Twins.   Probably good that Correa wasn't run off.

[JWags85]

That was a fun top of the 9th from Duran.  Closer with good stuff dealing in front of a raucous crowd is peak fun baseball

[CreightonWarrior]

Let's see if tonight's pitcher can hold an early lead.

I actually learned on the broadcast that Freddy came over in a trade for Adam Lind when he was 16. Always thought we always had him.

Playoff baseball might be my favorite postseason in pro sports.

[CreightonWarrior]

At least they won the division, right??

[PointWarrior]

Brewers sure know how to suck in the post season.

[4everwarriors]

Ass kickin', aina?

Yep - as much fun as the 20 other teams that did not make the playoffs but got an extra two games to show they are not really a playoff team.

Of course they are "really a playoff team." They had the third best record in the NL.

Just cause they sucked it up doesn't mean they don't deserve to be there.

Getting embarrassed in two games really shows they "deserve to be there".

I know - I should just accept this is the Brewers ceiling.  Win a crapty division.  Get swept easily in the wild card round.

The lineup wasn't good enough. They were never World Series contenders. But they were clearly good enough to make the Playoffs. They weren't close to missing them.

This is probably the worst Brewers team to make a post season outside of the Covid year.

But the A's can win consecutive games against the Braves in baseball. It's not like college basketball where a clearly superior team will win 95% of the time. And the Brewers weren't clearly superior to the Diamondbacks, just slightly.

I think the 2019 Wild Card team was worse but your overall point is correct.

[PointWarrior]

Good summary of the brewers season - bases loaded, 1 out and can't get a run to score.

[PointWarrior]

The other good summary of the brewers season - score runs early innings and then go meekly hitting the rest of the game. 

[The Sultan]

Alright. Time to ignore baseball until after March Madness.

[MUfan12]

Perennial paper tigers.

1-9 since 2018 in the playoffs. Time for some new blood, both in the dugout and on the field. It's all so stale.

I think all but like 5 teams max would trade for Craig. He's without a doubt one of the best managers in baseball.

I'm gonna take the DS to lick my wounds but if Minnesota or Baltimore can get to the ALCS, that will be enough for me to have an attentive if dispassionate rooting interest again.

I don't disagree. He's been excellent for the Brewers. But if he's out the door, no better time to refresh things.

[SoCalEagle]

Not yet. The Dodgers haven't even started yet.

I was pulling for the brew crew. I hope they make a few offseason pickups.

Adios Craig, hey?
