I saw a stat on MLB Network that he's the only player in baseball that's in the 95th percentile or higher in both Hard-Hit % and Chase %

Blake's first at bat in Game 1 of the NLDS isn't ever brought up, but I think it's a big reason the Brewers won that series. Matthew Boyd is starting on short rest and laboring, already giving up three runs, but there's two out with runners on 1st and 2nd. Perkins comes up with an 11 pitch at bat that ends with a base hit up the middle to score a run. Boyd is then pulled after only pitching two thirds of an inning, leaving the Cubs behind the 8 ball pitching wise for the rest of the series. The Brewers then score two more in the inning and three more next inning off of Soroka and have a 6-1 lead after one and a 9-1 lead after two. If Perkins makes an out it's only a 3-1 game with eight innings to go and who knows if Boyd settles in and gives the Cubs some innings.

David Hamilton should just be on pinch running duty for the foreseeable future

I wonder if, instead of air-mailing a throw into left field, Bauers had just taken the out at first, whether McCullers would still be on the team today.

Phillies up on the Dodgers 8-4 in the 7th. If both scores hold the Brewers would move into the 1 seed and have the best record in baseball.

Mitchell took five balls, should have walked twice, but I guess it's a good thing the umps gifted the Marlins two strikes.

The NHL pauses their season during the Winter Olympics, so I don't see a big deal about MLB doing the same thing. That said, the Olympic baseball tournament will only be seven days long and during the week that's normally All Star week. Just skip the All Star Game in 2028, extend the break from four days to seven or eight and you can send all the stars to play in the Olympics with no major interruption to the schedule.

Boots a double play and follows it up by swinging at ball four, have a day Brice

Just awful defense this whole inning, giving up two unearned runs and forcing Drohan to get six outs in one inning in a game they needed him to go deep to save the bullpen for a doubleheader tomorrow.

You were looking in the wrong spot, they created multiple NBC Sports Extra channels on YTTV, one for every game today.

Heads up for anyone with YouTube TV, all of the Peacock games today are on the NBC Sports Extra channels

Contreras is so bad at challenges. Strike 3 called a ball and he doesn't challenge, next pitch is an actual ball and he challenges that.

So we basically have Yoho, Anderson and Kuhnel for 7, 8, and 9. Let's hope the offense can score a few more runs.

Very nice shutdown inning by Gasser
