His home run trot in game 3 was pretty over the top.

For me it comes down to can we hit their starting pitching. Are we going to make weak contact on the first pitch that is out of the strike zone every inning like we did last year? Then we will lose. But if we can work the count, walk, keep hitting the ball hard like we have, steal, and play better D I think we have a chance this year. It's going to be a good series, better than last year. I didn't realize how old the Dodgers starting lineup is. You know those guys will turn it on and play well like they always do.

It's going to be exactly the same.

Yep been impressed with the Pads D. These are just two good teams goin at it. It's playoff baseball it's gonna make you nervous all day and be torture to watch and it's living up to that so far.

This is it right here. That diving stop in the hole Xander made, and us dropping a few shorthops.

Couldn't believe the quality ABs from the guys that last inning. Amazing to be able to grind out two Ws and not really be playing our best yet. That last inning was unreal to watch...and extra stressful for me haha Hopefully the guys can play a little looser now and do what they do. I think we can all agree we still haven't seen the full potential of this team and what it's capable of these first two wins.

Has any one made a post about former Brewers in the Playoffs? I always like seeing that. Last night watching the Braves game I was surprised to see Rowdy Tellez get an at bat, and Brewer Hincklin pinch running.

Going to be a good series. If the Brewers do their thing they will win.

That Braves vs Phils game yesterday was everything I love about Playoff baseball. Anyone else already anxious for Saturday? I had trouble sleeping last night my Wife was making fun of me.

I think also part of it was having teams with players such as Brewers legend Ryon Healy batting cleanup. The 2018 team seemed very loose. But I would agree with that for some of the later Craigers era Brewers teams yes.

Have a feeling the secondary market will open up more depending on if the Cubs advance or not. I had really good luck the last couple years getting tickets late on stub hub instead of paying full price during the presales...but demand and buzz definately seems higher this year. Seems more average fans are on the bandwagon this year.

I'm calling it right here. Yeli is going to have a game or hit where it will be something cemented in Brewers lore until the end of time this Playoffs. The table is set with having a down year, lots of people writing him off. It's going to happen. Too positive for something not in the optimism thread? :)

It's looking like they are the "hot team" of this year's playoffs. Peaking at just the right time. Usually those are the kinda teams that go far and make a run.

This run of good Brewers baseball is still hard to imagine for me being born in 83. Never thought I'd see this ever. Now just have to win big in the post season. Maybe this is the year?

This is where I'm at. I kinda liked the call. But you have to dial up your BEST play there. As soon as they lined up I was like "whoa that is a long 1 yard no way they sneak or run here" and then saw the sneak called yikes. Needed a short pass there. I remember them doing this last year and being pretty successful at dialing up 4th down short yardage pass plays that were very effective.
