Tremendous performance and poise by the two two rookies, Miz and Patrick.  Miz gives up dinger right away and shuts them down and gets 12 huge outs after that.  Tremendous response when other guys would have crumbled.

Hutch,

I think the Brewers can now breathe a sigh of relief. They have some injuries but there was a lot of pressure.  They are more than capable of punking the Dodgers imo.

They'll hopefully get Woodruff back, which would be huge. 

Dodgers have an overall talent edge, but Brewers do so many things well.  Should be a great series.  Wouldn't be surprised another 7 gamer like 2018 NLCS.

I could see that.  Contreras is very impressive.  I think his impact is a bit overlooked and he's playing with a broken finger?  Maybe it's me, but he seems stellar defensively and calling the game.  It's going to take a complete team effort but I would think they'll play more relaxed.

Contreras has become their heart and soul and leader. He's an elite player in every way, yes, broken finger going way back. 

I agree. Think this team did feel more pressure with it being the Cubs, all their fans that come up to Milwaukee, Counsell, all their playoff fizzles, etc.  All that has been lifted now.   

They'll be underdogs even with the better record and home field.  I think this team loves that role. Home field advantage was massive in this series and they have it again.

It's going to be interesting. There's a ton of pop in the Dodgers lineup. However, their bullpen seems to be pretty shaky. I think they've been using starters a lot.

Hopefully the Brewers can keep up their wood pecking ways and get through some pitchers. I think beating the Cubs and winning a series is going to free them up. They are very much the underdog in this series.

Maybe this is just me being a fan, but I think they might play pretty free and loose as underdogs - even though they have a better record. The Cubs series was full of some emotions that won't really play a part this week.

This is weird to say but if they can keep the ball in the park on defense, they matchup better against the Dodgers. The Cubs play great defense and that affects the Brewers to do the little things that make teams screw up. No such issue against the Dodgers.

Yes.  This is what I stated last night.  The pressure is now off.  It's time to go to work and dispose of the Dodgers.

The league championship series are the Dodgers and the 3 red-haired stepchildren. Aside from the fans of the teams, who cares about the Blue Jays, Mariners and Brewers?

Toronto-Seattle is a TV exec's nightmare. The days there are 2 games (Monday, Thursday, Friday), Dodgers-Brewers will be on in prime time.

From The Athletic:

Detroit Tigers radio announcer Dan Dickerson has apologized after swearing on a hot mic during a commercial break, expressing his frustration after Detroit's 3-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners in Game 5 of the American League Division Series.

After 15 innings of baseball over nearly five hours, which ended the Tigers' season, the radio broadcast cut to a commercial, but the mic was still live.

"I don't have to do a game (recap)?" Dickerson said. "Ah, f—. F— this game recap."

He quickly realized he was still on the air.

"Oh, I'm sorry, was that out loud?" Dickerson said, before going to break.

On Saturday morning, Dickerson, a radio veteran who has been the Tigers' lead play-by-play announcer since 2003, addressed the incident in a statement to the Detroit Free Press.

"I want to sincerely apologize for swearing during a break in the post-game last night," he said. "Our mics were inadvertently left open — but I know better than to swear into an open mic.

"It was said in a moment of frustration, and not a reflection about how I feel about doing the game recap — just how I felt about doing it in that moment after a five-hour, 15-inning, season-ending loss. I'm very sorry any fans had to hear it — my apologies again."

He should have said, "ah no one is listening anyways" and said he was honoring Uecker.

As far as hot mics go, this is cool and good and a drive into deep left field by Castellanos...

Dickerson is one of the good ones.  I think his apology is sincere.
