That should do it.  So whats the plan for game five.

Ramp up the Power of Friendship and the woodpecking.

The cool part about today is that even though we’ve never really been in the game, Murph has managed to burn through most of his top relievers.

[TURBO]

A Christmas commercial on October 9th.

*shaking head*

[adambr2]

So, how does the “we still got this” crowd from 24 hours ago feel right now?

[TURBO]

No more Patrick, save him for Saturday.  Be nice to get 3 from him.

I don't get it at all. Is he going to pitch Uribe in the 8th as well?

Looks like it's going to be a bullpen game on Saturday....hope we get good Miz.

German soldiers were issued methamphetamine to enhance their performance.

I'll be watching the Badgers absolutely suck over watching this franchise blow another postseason series. Sue me.

I heard the other day that teams that go up 2-0 in a best of five win the series 89% of the time. That's going to drop to 88% on Saturday.

Right, but I'm guessing most of those 89% wins were sweeps or 3-1. The ones that got to 2-2 probably became tossups.

The only one I know of was us vs. Arizona in 2011. We pulled it out.

[Brian]

Now that was a bad call.

I wish I was optimistic like they are.  I really do.   But this series was over yesterday.   That was the game they really needed.  And Murphy F’d it up 

[HarryDoyle]

Calling obvious balls strike three isn't going to help either. This team doesn't need any help looking inept on offense.

[yfinn6]

This team better wake the F up and do it quickly. 

[bm1090]

Really uncompetitive at bats for the first time in 4 games. Incredibly disappointing performance tonight

You can’t get less serious about offense than having Blake Perkins and Joey Ortiz as your 8-9 hitters in a playoff game.

[sobomp3]

Yeah I am starting to get the feeling this is just going to be another early exit for this team. August was a blast, though (seriously). Probably the most fun I’ve had since 2018… when you look at how this team started.

The team that came back down 0-2 is 10-7 in game 5.

Looks like they picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.

Let’s be honest, on the chance that Frelick reached on the 3-2 count, Perkins and Ortiz weren’t going to do anything with that.

Sure you can .... how about Brandon Lockridge and Joey Ortiz?

[Turning2]

Brewers doing Brewers things. It’s perversely comical
