The Dodgers’ pitchers rose to the moment. I’d argue that Snell, Yamamoto, and Ohtani (offense included) had 95th percentile or better games. Glasnow was probably 80th percentile. Certainly, the Crew’s offensive approach has to be considered in those pitcher outcomes, but the way those guys were placing pitches and not throwing waste pitches was surgical. Put together some squishy math on three 95th percentile outcomes and one 80th percentile and you’re looking at a 1 in 40,000 probability of that sort of confluence of pitching excellence. If you’re willing to call Snell, Yoshi, and Ohtani’s starts 99th percentile games, then you’re quickly looking at a 1 in a million outcome for the Dodgers. Their pitchers just rose to the moment in a collective fashion that is wildly improbable, and the Brewer hitters couldn’t match it.

Also eastern TZ. My 9yo fell asleep during the 3rd on Monday. My 12yo made it to the 7th. hopefully the crew puts up a lotta runs before they fall asleep.

I don't watch much football, so at first when I read this, I was very concerned about what "MLF milking" was.

But... When will Matt Arnold start to receive some criticism?

Only 3 Cub baserunners in innings 3-9. The Trebnered Mearsorowstrick was amazing tonight.

Greg should have outmaneuvered us and started Rea and Civale.

Isn't there a site that has them available mid-game? Can anyone help with that?

TBS Put the second best person on the matchup that the coastal elites are watching. Jesus and St. Peter put Uecker on the game they're watching.

I think my biggest frustration with Darling and whoever is that Anderson and Francoeur are SOOOOOOO much better. I have the radio synched up with TBS muted.

It's definitely confirmation bias, but I didn't like the idea of leaving Luzardo in there again for the 7th. Just trust your pen, man. Another trip through that lineup is begging to get beat up.

You spoke too soon. Atlanta scored again!

I hear you, but I think the current Cubs are them regressing toward the mean from an over-their-heads start to the year.

With a larger bullpen that the postseason provides and the results improving the more he lathers up, what about having Woody do his normal warmup routine 20 minutes earlier, then throwing a simulated inning before first pitch? Then plan for him to go 5 innings before turning it over to a pretty dang good bullpen.

0-0 this year. I live outside of Atlanta. The ballpark experience (traffic, parking, 90deg and humid) at Truist is miserable unless you want to spend more than $100 per person, so we enjoyed the sweep from the couch this year. I'm 1-7 in all my previous trips to Truist & Turner. You can thank my pennypinching for not costing us a game or two in that series.😤

Naah, fam. We need that reverse jinx magic.
