What is going on? lol

[folly412]

Build it!

I am running out of descriptors

[YelichPosse]

So is this good? Asking for a friend…. 

[willie key]

This is insane.   This has to be what the Oakland fans felt during that money ball season.   

[jason21nl]

What in the actual F isn’t going on?

Post on the Cubs board:

”Well at least we can say we’re the last team to beat the Brewers, even if it was 2 weeks ago.”

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I finally got home and flipped the game on. They were up 4-0 when I left the fields tonight, and I just got to catch Vaughn go nuclear on that hanger. Holy smokes!

[owbc]

As soon as the Pirates dropped the double play ball you knew the crooked number was coming. And as soon as they got a few and Vaughn was up you knew what was coming. 
 

I’ve never seen anything like it. I just hope this lasts 2 1/2 more months.

Golly gee whiz bob howdy.

Am I hallucinating? DON'T ANSWER.

[Bulldogboy]

I am afraid of peaking early but how do you know what the ceiling even is?

[greenlawler]

Blue Jays with another run!

 

[HarryDoyle]

I have a company meeting tomorrow. When it comes Q and A time I'm asking the big guy if he's making a George Webb run. And I'm up in Sheboygan County.

Yeah, you obviously can’t bottle this stuff and save it, one has to just take baseball fortune when it comes.

But even if they are half as good as this in October, they should be right there against anybody.

[DonBarclay]

Tack on a few more and get Seigler up in the ‘pen, it’s time.

[HarryDoyle]

Can we end all the "I don't want to face (insert team here) in the playoffs" talk? I don't think anyone wants to see us.

[Baldkin]

Best 50 have game stretch in franchise history, passing 2011

Anderson an underrated, at least by me, workhorse in this pen.

This might be the most fun Brewers season I’ve/we’ve ever seen.  Whatever happens in the playoffs happens.   If it turns out to be bad it will be disappointing but I’ll forever remember this.  I’m 46.  I teared up the other day when Collins walked off.  I’ve never done that before during a regular season game.  This has been truly incredible.

Crazy to have a Skenes start and we can seriously contemplate if we’re up enough to just have a position player pitch the 9th!

Cub fans are not very high on Counsell nowadays.

I'm not sure Murphy is a tactical genius or anything, but I think it's proof positive that Craig was a double agent all along that as soon as he left we get a manager who is going to win back-to-back NL Manager of the Year awards. Thank you Craig!! 😂

3.07 and near the top of the league in innings is quite the luxury for a non-leverage reliever.  Many teams cycle through a half dozen DFAs just finding a guy for that role who can get three outs without blowing up.

By the end of the night (once all MLB games are completed), Milwaukee will likely be #2 in both runs scored & runs allowed to go along with best overall record, best home record, & best road record

[TURBO]

Maybe let Sal rest the hammy for the rest of this game?

Seriously, don't push it. He doesn't know how to go anything other than 100%.
