Brewers-Cubs NLDS Game Five Thread - 10/11/2025 @ 7:08PM - For those Assuming a WIN!

He hit it hard at least and swung at a good pitch 

[adambr2]

Literally the one time all year I wanted Murphy to go to Jake Bauers in the worst way and he stuck with Ortiz.

I will feel sick if that comes back to haunt us.

He should have, but his hair got in the way !!

Why are you coming on a Brewers message board and trashing our players? 

[jason21nl]

Joey Ortiz sucks.  I don’t give two ***** about his defense.  He freakin sucks. 

[82brewcrew82]

Gonna regret that opportunity.

Can this be what all those failed bases loaded ABs in the regular season have been for?  Will Ortiz make all of us forget his crappy season?

Nope.  I guess saving for the world series?

His defense is too valuable to take out in a game like this

[IntentionalHBP1]

I hope his defense is worth it

[duewizard]

Sigh

He’s hitting better than Turang this series 

[titletownking]

I have consistently not been a fan and proven right again, Joey Ortiz should not be  a starting shortstop for a World Series caliber team. 

[wOOgiE22]

That would have been the time to PH Bauers. 

[YelichPosse]

An expected result but … having a lead and needing is D… it’s hard to PH him there. 

[TURBO]

Man, that looked awful close at 2B there with Perkins....

[brooks_quichenick]

Murphy... dude.

[tomwopat]

Silver Lining is that we forced Greg to use his best reliever in the fourth inning.

I'll make sure to remember that in the offseason

I just don't like his hair.

Must I ??

Because he's a Cubs fan, we all know it...

And the long man is out by the 4th

I'll put the Rollie Fingers/Ted Simmons trade ahead of that one easily.

Too early to compare those trades … the first one did not lead to a World Series championship … let’s see if the second one does before we make a decision 

[MuckyFingers]

What a gutless decision from Murphy.  Just disgusting letting Ortiz hit.

[greenlawler]

I watched that play again....he looked safe to me.

[Bulldogboy]

You just cannot in a game of this magnitude decide not to score. Murphy decided he didn't want to score there in hopes of preventing the Cubs from getting on base by hitting a ball to short evidently. Incredible
