Imagine if the game wasn't so stinking late.  I for one was asleep by the 5th inning. Not proud of not watching/tracking the whole game but there's almost no way I can stay up until midnight or later...

I'll admit I went to bed shortly after we got the 3-1 lead.  Staying up all the way through the previous night took the steam out of me.

My wife was up with her mom (long story...) and when she cheered at the end I got up to watch the festivities.  Another night with 4 hours of sleep...  At least I sleep some for awhile.  😛

Genuine question: why should we like our chances better than last year’s team that got sent packing quickly and didn’t look like they belonged on the same field with the Dodgers?

I'm not saying we shouldn’t — I feel better about our chances this year than last, I just can’t really come up with any reason other than a better feeling about it than last year. 

I'm just struggling to substantiate why, because it’s largely the same rosters. So I wonder how others feel about it. 

I do like our chances better than last year, that being said I still think the odds are in the Dodgers favor.

Our starting pitching is better this year. which is a plus, but the Dodgers starting pitching may be better also.  That being said it's hard to imagine the Dodger's starting pitching outperforming what they did last year (2 runs allowed in 4 games).

Hitting wise, hopefully another year of experience will payoff.  I feel like if they are to get past the Dodger's, Yelich will have to have a few key hits. 

[willie key]

Without quoting the previous posts I just think this team is more consistent than last year and not as streaky.     I think they will give dodgers more trouble than last year

 

and if Miz comes out with the extra rest and just dominates Sunday night that is a game changer

If I was Mitchell that’s going up in the house

For the national media haters: Mitchell's catch was only #10 in the SportsCenter Top 10.

I mean I think that's fair. The context of the catch was far more impressive than the actual catch. He barely had to jump and it's not like he was sprinting into the wall. He was kind of set up before the ball got there.

I managed to make it to the bottom of the eighth, then I checked out.

Discussing the right time to trade our all time best reliever (Hader) three years before it happened seems very ‘us.’

Yep, first thing I thought was "that's 100% on brand".

Like the Uecker letter, I wish we could stop bringing this up.  

I think the letters are kind of corny and almost a little creepy. One last year was OK but I think the schtick is pretty much played out now. He shouldn’t feel obligated to do this every time there’s a big win.

The one thing I didn’t like about this one is the reference to Ueck  helping to swat down France’s “home run ball.”  For anyone who hears that it just feeds the idea that that was clearly going to be a home run when it almost certainly was not, and leads some people to think that the Brewers are lucky rather than good.

That is such a great photo. Video is everywhere now but sometimes a photo still captures a moment better.

For me that was on par with the Badgers blocking the punt of the Gophers to win the game photo from 10-15 years ago.

I remember there being a better photo but here's the one I found quickly.

I respect Coop’s ability to not participate. I’ve been a non-drinker for 44 years & sometimes it is awkward for people.

I'm a lifelong (60+) teetotaler - despite living all that time in Wisconsin, following the Brewers for most of my life, and being enrolled at, working for or affiliated with the UW System for almost as long.  I'm delighted there's another teetotaler on the roster.  We should be able to find him a better soft drink than Fanta for any subsequent celebrations. 😉🤞

ASO to Spectrum for choosing the overnight last night to do an upgrade in our area.  That had us listening to Jeff Levering on the radio for the end of the game, which was much better than any of the fox dudes anyway. 

 

[igor67]

One of the posters at the time was at the game and had a perfect side angle shot in the moment you could tell the punt was being blocked which is why it sticks in my head so well. Best picture of the game was from a fan

Everything Wiguy listed, and then I'll add the biggest difference of all.....

Ohtani was at the absolute peak of his powers last year, capped by the arguably the greatest single-game performance of any player in history in Game 4 as we well remember. 

Heading into this series, he is but a shell of that player. They may have replaced him with Skubal in the rotation, but they cannot replace that production at the plate, as he's currently in the midst of almost a 2 month HR drought. He and the Dodgers have emphasized that there's not much he can do to get healthy until the offseason.

I wanna hang out with the guy on the top left.

 

I have no idea why.  I just do.

 

So if you're reading this, top left guy, DM me and we'll grab a beer on me.

I think the letters are fine except for one thing - don't let the media see them. I think it works much better as an in-house thing, with a bunch of people who knew the guy. When the whole world sees it, it comes off as corny.

Thank God he hasn't used AI to have Uecker read it. Yet.

Yeah, the most difficult thing about that catch was navigating the fans, and not being distracted by the contact...

The context of that catch alone though, should have had it higher than #10,  Screw the media, and SCREW THE DODGERS!
