Brewers don't bunt. Everyone knows it.

Yep. Relatedly, did the Hader trade curse the Padres? I put my Hader bobblehead out on the porch. That's my voodoo move.

Nobody's beating the 'Stros. Verlander is back.

Finally they toss Montas...

The ump isn't helping him either.

Wonder what Judge and Rowdy talked about at first. Don't see Aaron as a hunting and fishing kinda guy.

Trying to stay positive in the bottom of the ninth...

450 feet for Kessy! Wow.

Let's face it: this has been a horrible series. The Cubs are an intriguing group of young talent. Tenacious. I really have to give it to them.

Right now, I'd rather play the Dodgers.

Gutsy first inning from Lauer. Strength of character on display.

Meh...hope we don't see that hellish flamethrower again this weekend.

And KD is still in Brooklyn. Chorizo, baseball is stat crazy, but do you know if there is a Racing Sausages win totals kept? I'm an Italian fan myself. Excellent analysis by the way. With him being so young, there's so much risk both in terms potential return on investment and how acquiring a player like Soto will impact the club he goes to long-term. Even if you are the Dodgers.
