I'll take it!
Winning one game in this series already exceeds my expectations
Nah son, it's over tomorrow. Braves used up most of their bullpen today and look how the Dodgers were close.
Great game. As an O's fan I got Machado on one side, and Markakis on the other. So I am happy for either to win.
Ahh yes Brewers are NLCS bound but the NLCS is gonna be a lot tougher especially if it's the Dodgers.
11 game win streak, the NL MVP in the lineup, and a clean sweep in the NLDS. Brewers are the team the Dodgers or Braves don't want to play.
I forgot Jim Powell works for the Braves now. The guy still sounds eerily like a young Bob Uecker
Yup that's just how I remember him when he called Brewers games back then.
I really hope Counsell realizes that Ryan Braun shouldn't be batting in the 3-hole going into the NLCS. The guy is the worst possible protection for Yelich, the moment Braun sees anyone on base lately he's swinging at everything even remotely close to the plate.
I still find it disgusting that the brewers had the best record in the NL and couldn't get the prime time slot for game 1 or 3 :/
red sox having the prime time slot in general makes sense since they had the best record in baseball.
So do the Astros think Cleveland is stealing signs or something? They're running through catcher signs as though there were runners on base when no one was on base.
Don't forget Dodgers did put a 21 spot on the Brewers this year
Verlander has accused us of stealing signs before when we have smoked him in the past.
The Astros weren't doing this in Houston though, were they? So they think there's some dude in center field or something reflecting the signs to the Indians hitters? Slowing the game down so much and it all seems like nonsense.
wisconsin sports teams aside from the Packers generally get disrespected at every opportunity. Even today on ESPN and MLB.com there's barely any talk of the Brewers despite them being the first team to advance to a CS
I've never been a big fan of these weekday games in the playoffs
I thought that the Dodgers fans got unfairly criticized for not selling out their wild card game against Colorado last week when it took place early on a weekday

I feel like they're starting to grow on the Bucks tho thanks to Giannis. Brewers basically have to win it all to get respect tho.
If the Brewers managed to win it all the talking point would almost certainly be "How did the Astros/Sox/Yankees" lose this series? And then 2019 would be all about how the Cubs are the favorite to win the NL Central.
They don't base primetime games on record. They base it on ratings. And I guess they saw that Rockies/Brewers was not gonna be a ratings thriller.
I want the Tribe to score a bunch of runs because of all these stupid sign progressions from the Astros
I know what they base it off of. it's still disgusting and should be based off records. The best teams should be the ones featured in the prime time, not just the favorites, give the lesser known teams a chance to shine and have people discover they are a fun team to watch, not just push the same old crap they always do :/
I agree with this. Giving lesser known teams a chance to shine in prime time is better for the sport - especially when they've earned it.
But that's never going to happen when Yanks/Sox can just brute force its way to decent ratings
Yep exactly. If it was Cubs Brewers there would have been at least 1 primetime game.
Its all about ratings.
Yes they were. No one on and Maldonado was going through 3 signs at home.
Steady. Hooooolld. Hooooold. Hooooooollddd. Hooooooold.
I'm rooting for the Braves upset. The Dodgers are a secret dumpster fire in waiting. I'm waiting for the Bravehart reversal. Doooo eeet.
Out of boredom I set up a THE SHOW stream in CPU v CPU broadcast mode and am live streaming the Sox/Yankees.

For the record, I did game 1 and 2 and the outcomes were both correct. Scores off a bit (3-1 and 6-1) but close enough.
