Sigh. Zero runs after bases loaded and no outs. That's the Brewers season in a nutshell.
This is the third game in a row the Brewers blew the game late. I'll give them credit for the month they had to even make the playoffs. But they've hit a wall and are ending with a thud.

Disappointed the Mets aren't in the postseason but the end of that game today was a strange and fun way to end the 2019 campaign and really encapsulated the entire season in a lot of ways.
Just looking forward a bit I wonder if the Cubs will be interested in Girardi now, hope he becomes the Mets next manager as Callaway has to go no matter.
In any case I'm excited for the postseason, I still believe the Nats are the Dodgers only real competition in the NL. The Brewers are a gigantic waste of a playoff spot...zero chance. The Astros are on another level entirely even when compared to the Dodgers and should win another World Series but you have to play the games as almost anything can happen in baseball...should be a fun October.

85-77 is a damn good year, far better than expectations, and a notable improvement over last year, even while losing Goldschmidt, Pollock, Corbin, and Greinke. With all of the young studs coming in, trades for prospects having great returns thus far, and a ton of extra money lying around (one more fucking year of Tomas...), I'm pretty excited for where the org is headed. Ketel Marte and Carson Kelly are cornerstone pieces to build a winner around and I'm happy to have 'em. You done good, Hazen.

Seth Beer and Spencer Brickhouse gotta duke it out in the 70 FV based on name alone in the big boi 1B prospect department.
Game 1 will probably be at 4 or 5 eastern. With the LA game at 8 eastern.
Astros always seem to get the early weekday games so I can't watch them. Yankees will get primetime games
It seems like everyone has been on the Bellinger MVP wagon for a long time now so he's probably going to win it on the NL side, but I'm sort of wondering if Yelich has a case. Offensively Yelich has Bellinger beat in a bunch of categories and the categories Bellinger beats him out in aren't exactly huge leads. Not sure how the two stack up against each other in the defensive categories though. Yelich's injury is probably going to rob him of the MVP.
On the AL side, yeah, I'm thinking Bregman has it now.

Bellinger has him beat in most defensive metrics. He was the better of the two by a good margin.
Harper 2019:
Bases empty - .204/.333/.386/.315 wOBA/92 wRC+
Men on base - .331/.422/.665/.432 wOBA/169 wRC+
Charlie Blackmon 2019:
Home - .379/.435/.739/.472 wOBA/167 wRC+
Away - .256/.299/.432/.308 wOBA/87 wRC+
Harper smashed with men on and Blackmon played like a scrub without Coors. I know it's a hitters park but those splits are even ridiculous for him.

Bregman and Bellinger
Curious why the Angles even hired Ausmus? Ohtani cant pitch, and couldn't be the DH the whole year, trout didnt play the whole year, Pujols is old. their starting pitching and relivers suck. Oh and had a starting pitcher die during the season. Not sure what he's supposed to do with that?
The Angels probably weren't expecting Maddon to be available this year.
Yelich was like that at home for the first 6-8 weeks of the season. At one point had like 20 HRs and all but a few were at Miller Park.
Oh cool Sam Holbrook is doing the braves series. Is he gonna fuck the braves for just one game or every game.
Should the Braves ask him where the infield fly will extend to

I'm not giving up on Brewers in the Wild Card game since they came back from the dead after I've given up on them multiple time before.
I'm in wisconsin so have been rooting for the brewers. I still expect them to lose by at least 5 tomorrow lol.
it's the clash of two teams that were hot. The difference is the nationals seem to be still riding that hot streak while the brewers seem like they crashed and burned.
The Nats are playoff chokers tho so that can come into play.
My gut says it will be the nats vs astros for the world series this year.
I mean this is the post season Nats so I don't see why people are quick to say the Nats were taking this.
