Ortiz seems to swing at a lot of balls.  No plate discipline

I guess my perspective is what's the point of having that fear? It's either going to happen or it's not. if it does we can all be pissed/mad/sad/mad at that point. No need to borrow grief from the future and suffer twice.'

I try to be a realist and realistically we are a couple innings a away from wrapping up the most successful regular season in franchise history. And we also may struggle in the playoffs. But one of those is happening and worth celebrating and the other one remains to be seen.

/end rant and go brewers.

Sure, also, realistically, they haven't played very well for the last five weeks.  Nobody is telling anyone how to be a fan or interpret reality, or how to engage their emotions, except a couple of people who need their emotional protectionism.

They haven’t nearly been at full strength those five weeks and a lot of people the last few weeks have gotten days off and rest for the playoffs.

Would you also agree it is realistic that the Brewers have played mediocre baseball for the past five weeks? Can’t both perspectives be expressed?

Of course.

Not sure we will be full strength once the playoffs begin next weekend 

Not having Woody at all or Megill completely healthy is a big deal

Yeah the sky is also blue….but he swung at a ball that almost hit him and then one that was practically in the other batters box.   Like dude.  Its OK to take a pitch…

I think Murphy scared him into being more aggressive earlier this season

[willie key]

Nice to see Megill with a good outing 

[jason21nl]

Well done boys!  Franchise Record!

[Bulldogboy]

97 wins. I didn't have that in the spring.

[willie key]

Reds will be sweating out this last inning

[edfunderburk]

Duplicate

New Magic Number: 11

Can only be reduced by winning

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

People in Milwaukee waiting on the result of a Mets-Marlins game to end the regular season brings back some very good memories.

97 wins!!!!!

[wOOgiE22]

Hopefully this takes the sour taste of losing and sets this team up for an October run!

What was his velocity today? It appears he pitched well - which is exciting news.

The GT is literally the same 5-6 posters ******** and moaning every game claiming the game is over after the first two innings when they’re down by 2 runs. It’s been overran by the same few people and all the actual knowledgeable conversation is completely gone

TBH, I whine more when we're up by 6 early! 

[bm1090]

Respect the hell out of that Marlins team. A lot of young talent and a lot of pride.

This forum is definitely full of both Eeyore & Pollyanna posters

Nice win! 

No, I don't mind the Eeyores and Pollyannas. In fact, I kind of like them.

It's the angry people I avoid. Not that I'm better or anything. I just avoid that.

Go Crew!!!

[edfunderburk]

As a reward for watching to the end - we may get to see Murphy & his kids awkwardly interact in today’s postgame show 👏🙌💪
