2017-08-27: Brewers (Nelson) at Dodgers (Darvish) 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2]

[adambr2]

3-0 is nice, but we've left quite a few more runs out there today. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

The Cardinals have lost. In case anyone else is like me and tracking "distance ahead of St. Louis" as the prime measure of season success.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Gotta love quick innings when your pitcher's the one having them.

Yes! Finishing ahead of the Cards is goal #1. Playoffs is goal #2. And not just because I have a bet on it.

[MoreTrife]

How do you just have a reliever like Baez with 1.86 ERA available to come in in the sixth? Wow.

[MoreTrife]

Perez walks??? Darvish must really be struggling.

 

Rewind it, I could swear Perez looks back at the dugout and mouths 'Wow.'

 

He did. It must be a joke in the clubhouse.

I have a similar bet with some Twins' fan friends. Of course, it's entirely possible that the Brewers finish with a better record, but the Twins are the team that makes the playoffs. The AL is a mess at the moment. A fun, crazy mess.

Funny how Darvish was gracing the home page of mlb.com the first two hours of the game and now it's Nelson because, well, you know.

[PinaMadness]

And just as I hit submit...

[jjgott]

Standing O for Nelson. Hell of an effort. Now change that jersey!

[MoreTrife]

Knew it'd be Utley.

[rcc]

Sogard! What a play.

[jjgott]

Let's get it together and get out of this inning

[rcc]

Then Broxton gets the error. One giveth, the other takes away.

[pacopete4]

Broxton. Frustrating player, much like a lot of them.

[rcc]

Broxton needs to hit a homer to make up for that!

[PinaMadness]

You just knew Broxton was going to fire that one to home plate anyway.

[adambr2]

And now get ready for all those runs we missed out on earlier to come back to bite us.

[MoreTrife]

Never cared for Turner. Probably the red hair.

[WoahSolvdd]

And now get ready for all those runs we missed out on earlier to come back to bite us.

 

Like so many games this year.

[Greenleaf1]

Both hits off Nelson so far were not bad pitches at all. Utley went up and got one and Seager went down and got one.

[PinaMadness]

Wouldn't you know it?

[WoahSolvdd]

The 0-2 utley was down the middle

[jjgott]

Are you kidding me???

[WoahSolvdd]

OMG
