Nice work Willie

While I am glad it found a hole that was a terrible swing on a ball low and away.

[jason21nl]

A rally!

[HarryDoyle]

Wiemer's going back to AAA next year.

[yourout]

Monasterio 3 for 20 and dropping fast.

How good is the Texas pen because this looks like a short night for this guy.

It's been the weakest part of their team this year.

[BruisedCrew]

How refreshing to see the Brewers string some hits together 

Big shutdown inning coming up for Woodruff. These Rangers aren’t going to give up because of a 3 run deficit. 

[TURBO]

Man this team is going to have a different feel next season if we trade off both Woodruff and Burnes.

I just can't imagine...

I doubt they'll trade both in one offseason.

Late 70’s & early 80’s Brewers were that fun

Definitely. 

If they would have been playing with the playoff structure we have now they might have been in them every year from 78-83. 

I went to a lot of games in those days before kids came along, and it was always exciting when the bottom of the first came around and you could look forward to Molitor, Yount, and Cooper followed by 4 power hitters.

If Larry Hisle hadn’t gotten hurt early in the 79 season and essentially had his career ended, that lineup would have been even more imposing.

Up until the injury Hisle was having another good year.

 back in those days shoulder injuries were usually career enders.

That was a swing.

[BruisedCrew]

Here come the Rangers. 
 

Danger time for Woodruff throwing so many pitches. And not having any outs.

That check swing no call really hurt.

[duewizard]

Ah ****

[markedman5]

That didn’t last long…….

[HarryDoyle]

Woody's been giving up way too many home runs.

[RobertCrawley]

Crap.

[yourout]

You can't leave pitches in the middle of the zone with these guys.

[jason21nl]

Brewers just dont compare to these teams

[Sixtolezcano]

Seems like a large strike zone tonight.

[BruisedCrew]

Reds win 1-0 on Encarnacion-Strand HR in the 9th. 

Unless the Brewers can recover their lead will be down to 1 game. 

[Bulldogboy]

So many dangerous offensive teams these days. Makes not being one hurt.
