How do you know that none of them are in Cudahy, St Francis or Racine?

This series:

Ohtani: 3-15

Freeman: 0-11

Betts: 2-13

Tucker: 0-11

Pages and Muncy were basically the offense for them 

Wow.....Freeman usually feasts on us.

Great to see our pitching step up this weekend and the bats show at least some beginning signs of life (still a ways to go). I will say that that Dodgers team is likely a far cry from what they will be in the playoffs. However there offense does look older and not quite the same.

Not something that I think will be a detriment to them yet this post season (would love to be wrong about that), but moving forward it's something that's brought up from time to time. Muncy is 35, Freeman 36. Miguel Rojas is 37. Betts & Teoscar Hernandez are 33. Kike' Hernandez is 34. Will Smith is 31, not old but he's returning from a long layoff.

The Brewers matchup awful against them. Their pen is very lefty loaded  as well and the Brewers are very LH offensively (Mitchell, Turang, Yelich, Bauers) 

 

If you are going to put Yelich in the conversation to say the Brewers are LH offensively then I would counter with Chourio, Vaughn, Sanchez, and Ortiz.

Have no idea if this played a factor but I imagine his swing had to be sore after taking that fall the day before the series started. I know it is an excuse he wouldn't use but he had to be feeling that.

IMO Henderson is the guy you give the ball to in Game 2 of a playoff series. 

No doubt. He's soooo much more consistent than Harrison.
