I think we'll be alright. Shook their pen a bit. I don't think we'll be 1 hit through 8 every game. This was always a Herculean task but I think we'll make it interesting at least. NLDS just re-emphasized that these runs are filled with anguish. Anyone who followed the Bucks run should recall that as well.
We have to win 4 games, it doesn't really matter which ones they are. I wouldn't draw too broad of conclusions from one we happened to lose. It's baseball.
Uribe was dumb, sorry. This game was very low win probability and you have plenty of high leverage arms to get 3 outs in a game you're losing. He just threw 2 innings on Saturday night and now you (hope) you have to throw him tomorrow.
We got absolutely worked tonight. Hope tomorrow is better. But this one feels like it should be about 6-0 and backed up the whole David vs. Goliath narrative.
I was hoping we could at least lose twice before all the "we need to fix baseball" hot takes come in. I get it. Baseball isn't fair and it is stupid. But it's one game. This was always going to be an unlikely favorable outcome. I'll just point out that (this game isn't yet over btw) the Brewers won Game 1 in 2011 and 2018.
We beat the Cubs. I'm good. I hope we at least make this fun.
I'm not sure what distance is via Google maps because it probably doesn't show the path everyone takes. 15-20 minutes. You walk past the VA and through a park with a walking path that ends directly in front of the stadium. Other people will be doing it. You can possibly get closer on the side streets, but Target is a good spot to grab peanuts or something and your car will be fine there.
Don't mind that tbh. Clears Ortiz and starts over with Chourio in the 4th.
It just feels mean piling on Ortiz, but Jesus. His ABs are what NFL extra points used to be. Use the potty, refill your snacks.
It really isn't any different than a regular weekend game. Same number of people going in. There will be weekday traffic and the logjam getting in, but the playoff games have never been super crazy.
