Brewers (TBD) vs Dodgers (Glasnow): 10/15/26, 7:00pm

[Frisbee Slider]

The Milwaukee Brewers are one win away from the World Series.

It would be very “2026 Brewers” to win the pennant on the scheduled punt game of the series.

I can't believe we're on the verge of this. I said all year this felt like the one, but then when you actually get the Dodgers and start looking at the team again it starts to feel impossible. I assumed the path there would involve them slipping up in an earlier round and getting a good draw. I thought there was a path, but it would go to the brink and take everything. I just never saw being up 3-0 as realistic. 

All the suffering this franchise has endured, especially for those like me born after '82, who have never seen the great triumph. Ten years ago, I genuinely never thought I would see the Brewers in a World Series. That I might see the Bucks and Brewers in a Finals/WS within the same 6-year span is just not something I ever thought possible.

Many of you were nervous waiting all day yesterday for the game, but I felt pretty chill.

That is not the case today. This will be just the third game in history the Brewers will have an opportunity to clinch a pennant, Game 5 in ‘82 and Game 7 in 2018 were the previous times. Game 7 of 2018 never felt like much of a chance…just felt like an uphill battle the way the Dodgers were loaded and ready that game.

I just want the game to get here, but I am not going to freak too much about tonight's outcome if negative. If they drop tomorrow, I'll be a wreck.

This just feels weird, 3-0. Throughout the season and the NLDS, I really tried to pace myself, emotionally, knowing there were much larger games coming. And there are, but I was expecting a lot more deficits to stress over.

Dammit, game is on FS1 and my Delta flight only has 16 TV channels.  ESPN, ESPN2, and Fox but no FS1.

Don't know if the wifi has bandwidth for a decent experience watching on YouTube TV app or website.

Wonder why we aint on Fox anymore

We have so many outs available in the bullpen but a lot of those guys haven't thrown in a week or two.

May for 6-9 outs to start? Then you have Romero, Drohan, Harrison for the top of the order and Senza/Patrick for the extended bottom half and let the chips fall as they may? Ashby/Hall/Megill are a no go unless the pennant is there to be had.

What a wild last sentence I just wrote.

Could try to download the Fox Sports App and see if it will be televised on that.

I was seeing ads for the FoxOne app - with a free trial  offer......

Delta has free wifi on my flight!  I can just go to YouTubeTV.com since I already subscribe to YouTubeTV.

Even better. Great way to pass the time on a flight too. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Fox One is pretty easy to circumvent. Can get a new trial with a new CC and email endlessly.

It's the playoffs - so rules don't matter obviously. Close the series out if it is there.

But in a perfect world I would love to get Drohan and Patrick and Harrison an inning each somehow. Get the jitters out. Let them be nervous and feel the crowd.

Not sure I would love to have anyone make their post season debut on the road in Gm 3 of the World Series after not having faced a live hitter in 2+ weeks.
