2018-10-20 (NLCS Game #7): Dodgers (Buehler) at Brewers (Chacín) 7:09 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-1 -- 2018 Season Comes to a Close]

[brewcrewdue80]

I'm glad we didn't throw at Puig. It would have just appeared to be petty and really a sign of being sore losers, and we're better than that. He beat us. That's that. That's not the last impression you want to leave on everyone in your last moment of the season.

 

At the moment Puig's homerun is meaningless anyway as we have not put up a 2nd run in this game.

 

Oh, I would and post game state we need a rivalry that matters. Cubs don't want to be our rivalry for the division, so we'll just take the Dodgers as a rivalry for the NLCS over the next decade.

So...guys were questioning the class of the players but now we want to hit Puig and hope he injures himself...got it

 

FWIW, I only said, "Throw it OVER his head

 

The only guy I want hit is Machado next year. He was being the bush league player in this series

[Machu Peach]

I want to believe championships can be won in Milwaukee. I want to believe you don’t have to spend 200 million, or tank for three seasons, or do both (Cubs, Astro’s!) to be a great team. It feels like I’ve dreamed a dream.

 

Well, the Royals did it. I think if the only thing that makes being a Brewer fan worth it is a World Series, then baseball will be an unsatisfying pursuit.

 

This is a really good point. Enjoy when they do this well, because it won't happen consistently. This is the furthest they've made it in my lifetime and I've loved it.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Woody is laboring here. He had a lot of pitches on Wednesday. Short turnaround

[MrTPlush]

So how in the world does one get his batting helmet covered in black gunk? What is it? Pine tar?

 

Yes, remember Jason Kendall.

 

They made rules where you could cover the logo too much.

[lcbj68c]

Erin said they were streaming for the exits, but Joe Buck says very few have left. :Shrugs:

[topper09er]

OK, greatest inning in franchise history?

[jason21nl]

Great job Woody!

[lcbj68c]

2 pitches. We going to get beat on 2 pitches if this holds serve. #HeartBroken

[MrTPlush]

I’d stream for the exit too. Why watch more sad baseball and get stuck depressed in the parking lot for an hour.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Woodruff kept them in it. Stressful, but did the job.

 

Need the miracle of comebacks.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I am so excited about Woodruff's future. These young pitchers are going to keep this team in contention for a long time.

[YelichPosse]

Let’s score 5. Ok? Ok!

[CheezWizHed]

Woodruff has been amazing in the post-season. His control is heads and shoulders better than in the spring. Massive improvements from the big fella. I look forward to him starting next year.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Not like I have high hopes, but frankly anyone but Jansen for the 9th is a bonus...even Kershaw

[The stache]

Ok, so home runs from Shaw, Aguilar, Moose and a game tier from Kratz....epic comeback coming.

I’ve loved this whole season, too. But winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing (in sports).

[lcbj68c]

Reminds me of the Rays circa 2007-2010, or so.

[pacopete4]

It’s kind of cool to see Kershaw get the 9th.

[3and2Fastball]

I am so excited about Woodruff's future. These young pitchers are going to keep this team in contention for a long time.

 

Agreed. A lot to like in Burnes, Peralta & Woodruff as part of future rotations.

[DuWayne Steurer]

2 pitches. We going to get beat on 2 pitches if this holds serve. #HeartBroken

 

 

That's usually about how it goes though in baseball.

[brewcrewdue80]

That's how you start a rally, like that diving catch! Let's get going on this overused arm out of the pen for the Dodgers. Since we've seen him so many times it can only be obvious we put up multiple runs..... Oh it's Kershaw not Wood.

[lcbj68c]

Maybe Woodruff gets an at-bat vs Kershaw. What a story that would be.

Rivalries are created naturally. Not by throwing a bush league beanball at a guy in Game 7 of the NLCS because he hit a big HR off you.

[topper09er]

Now we will see why CC didnt IBB Barnes to force Kershaw out on Weds, so he would be extra tired now
