The game may not be over but I'll be very, very surprised if we mount a comeback with the wet noodle all stars lineup. 

Why are you watching then

R E L A X everyone.  It's the second inning.

Top of the order up in the 3rd.  Let's just do Brewer things in the bottom of the 2nd... play good defense and stay in the game, just like we have all year.

Seattle is having a rough day, but I'm sure they'll pull together for Friday's game 5.   Hell, the Bluejays had a tough Game 3, but I'm guessing thye bounce back strong today.

Honest question, not a criticism: why is Lockridge starting?

I'm guessing it mainly has to do with Chourio's hamstring not being good enough to play CF. Then again, you could just start Perkins.. I don't know. I assume that's why Collins isn't in, at least.

[willie key]

So now that his game is done can we get the odds on losing a 2-1 series lead on how that’s insurmountable

Yeah, I don't know... that one I don't really get at all. I'd rather see Collins in RF and Frelick in CF if you want to get a RHed bat in there. 

But I guess we're not comfortable with Frelick in RF?

Taillon doesn't look that sharp.

Doesn't need to.

I mean tbh if we are gonna lose, I'd rather it be like this than Game 4 of the NLCS with the Dodgers where we taxed ourselves to hell to lose in like 12 innings at 1am. Gotta launch the nuke tomorrow though.

If it’s up to me I’d pull Ortiz for Mona next time his spot comes up. His bat is beyond useless and you can’t win this game with defense at this point. Take a shot.

I’m irritated that Vaughn has had a great playoff series, hurts the Cubs, and lo and behold we can’t help ourselves and just absolutely have to get Jake Bauers a start.

Counsell-ass lineup today

Such a stupid post. Why would anyone watch sports if they knew the outcome already?

A better bat than Perk. 

[RobertCrawley]

Thank you, ump.

[bm1090]

Lockridge just had a 13 pitch at bat in his first MLB at bat in a month plus. He’s fine.

[Frisbee Slider]

Two outs!

Then why do you say they won’t come back?

Because he enjoy watching the Brewers and knows the chances aren’t 0% of a comeback?
 

Is enjoying a baseball game only synonymous with believing the odds of winning are greater than 50/50?

Where did I say that again? 

Oh, that's right. I didn't.

Ortiz HAS been on twice in each of the first two games. 

I'm not confusing him with Derek Jeter, but... he's battling and looks alright. We really need Turang and company to throw well. 

[kevinisaname]

Very good inning by Quintana.

[bm1090]

If Quintana can have 2 or 3 more innings like that, definitely changes the complexion of the game. Looked sharp.

Joey is smooth as hell.

Yeah, I should probably reserve judgment for now because that’s true. Just a bad looking AB, but only one AB.

[RobertCrawley]

That's why you have Ortiz in there. He doesn't usually score runs, but he can prevent runs. Same difference, as they say in Sheboygan.

Not once have I seen you make an actual comment about the game.  Always commenting on other peoples comments.  How about you worry less about others and have the courage to actually have a stance about something going on with the game.

And now we start chipping away
