I think if he can finish this he should get a win and a save

Drohan is just punishing PCA with that slider.

They even did it when they weren't playing a team from Wisconsin (along with the White Sox fans).  Also, it's funny to me that they have to trash talk a football city during a baseball game because the Brewers own the Cubs.

Congratulations Chicago on winning your first playoff game since before the last time the Packers won the Super Bowl.

Just damn near perfect game for game 1.  Rested bullpen and our best starters for the next two nights.

[Nola Beery]

This is nice!

[MadScientist]

Fitting that the last out was a tough chance for Oritz.

God I love that the Brewers broke their streak. Looking forward to beating them again in the playoffs.

I prefer my 'The King of Drohan'. Nothing funny about the way Shane pitches. Dominance. Throne worthy.

Absolutely love the fact that in PCA's previous at bat the slider got him to two strikes, he refused to chase and then flew out on a fastball (causing PCA to very dramatically react in a way that let everyone know he missed a pitch he thought was hittable), and then Drohan basically said "bet you can't do that again" and destroyed him with three consecutive sliders PCA couldn't identify or lay off of.

Ride for ruin!!

Inagine having 2 10 Game Winning streaks under your belt already. Then watching your Ace get hammered at Home to realize your division lead is now only 1/2 Game. It's a beautiful thing.

So you look at who was productive tonite, you See Yelich. You see Bauers. You see Vaughn. So yeah, you gotta go with this alignment, my defensive concerns be damned.

I loved the poise from Sproat after the walks to start the game. A couple hard-hit outs right afterward, but he also worked Happ really well hitting from his strong side. From then on, the only thing I really hated from him was the walk to Hoerner after the HR. The guys' been pretty damn good recently until that 5th inning wall. It'll be fun to watch him try to scale it. And speaking of poise, Drohan had a moment or three where he could've caved a little & responded like meh, just execute your pitches. Love that.

[LouisEly]

Are my eyes deceiving me, or did Bauers not only hit his home run off of the scoreboard, but he hit it off of his name on the scoreboard?  Or was it a little lower than that?

Drohan seems like a low heartbeat kind of guy…….just doesn’t look like the moment gets too big for him.
