I sincerely hope that's the last WS game in Milwaukee this season.

Torn on this. Obviously game to game I am wanting wins. I am minorly peeved we have closed out every series on the road. 

Unlike LAD where I felt like dropping a game even at 3-0 could immediately turn things, I think it's less likely with Tampa, their pen, and how gassed everyone is at this stage.  

If we have a 3-1 lead in this series I feel pretty good.

Whining about a check swing call is about as pathetic as it gets. Don't swing at all then. And then the assumption the next guy doesn't get out anyway. 

I'd just counter with the run we had stolen in the 8th. Couldn't care any less. Total non-controversy. Don't blow a 4-0 lead with your ace on the mound.  

I mean I agree with all this, but X/Twitter social media post diarrhea is not exactly known for logical thought process.

I should probably check myself into a hospital, my heart is still beating out of my chest, I’m uncontrollably sweating, and I can’t keep my hands steady

Oh we have many now. That’s how you know you’ve arrived. 

That's good.  Not only do I have WS winning joy, but now I have a new sense of schadenfreude.   It keeps getting better.

[dlk9s]

I watched all but the 9th on my phone because I was at my son's marching band competition an hour away. And I missed half an inning watching/filming his performance. I hope he understands that I'm a hero.

Rays can’t win the WS at home. I assume ticket prices gonna drop next few days 

Rays are like the best home team in the regular season or at least top 3

They're tied... with us. 

They're 5 games over on the road. We're like 48 and 33 on the road... behind ONLY LAD!

All those years asking "what would it take" to get over the edge... over the hump... and it's just INSANE ****!

Just keep taking bites!

[MrTPlush]

Poor Sal trying to do the postgame and has completely lost his voice. Lmao

Tampa has the edge now that they've seen our best relievers two days in a row.

We haven’t seen their closer yet so advantage to them 

[RobertCrawley]

This team never gives up. Ever. 

[folly412]

Ashby has been so good we've thrice held back one of the best closers in baseball to ride him.  Legendary.

Yeah but it would be at best 3-2 in that case and that's much less interesting to me, we'll party regardless of where it ends.

This is always a bit of a silly notion to me.  

1. They didn't hit them.
2. Uribe pitched to the same guys, the others didn't 
3. We've seen all their best RPs too - except the closer
4. Their closer will be rusty. 

[Opening Day]

103 wins, and then 11-1 in the postseason (when they sweep).  How does that rank historically?

What a soul crusher for Tampa. 

You play the ace game 2 to get the better matchup for a stolen win

You svae your pen for game 2

You chase our #2 starter basically in the first and take a commanding 4 run lead

And then you choke

And now you go home to see your city overtaken by brewer fans

[DesertBrew52]

I love what Ashby is doing. Iceman. 
Still thought Megill would face Diaz…

A little teasing of the poster who said Tampa has to feel really good after losing game one. I mean it’s the World Series, no moral victories.

[Matt Breen]

Beautiful stuff. So fun.

I don't know, but the manner in which this Crew is adjusting and dismantling each worthy adversary in succession is nothing short of phenomenal. let us acknowledge this in the process of completeing this remarkable season.

[Brewers Downunder]

Well crew? How good was that?

Right now, the Rays must be asking themselves "How do we beat these guys?"

That was the most important win of the season. It just might turn out to be the most important win in the history of the franchise.

[MrTPlush]

Henderson will never get the credit much like May in LA didn’t…but him giving us a couple scoreless innings after that disaster inning makes this comeback possible.

Also, props to Pratt providing some value after his error. But jeez dude, you don’t have to bounce every throw to first. I’m still very nervous having him out there an entire game defensively. It’s rough.

Frelick too their heart, Ashby took their soul

Win 1/3 in TB and you get 2 chances to win at home to win it all. 
 

Brewers are sitting good so far
