Lead off homer for Ohtani. Just lovely……
-
Completely disappearing offense in the NLCS. The question whether the Brewers type of offense could produce runs in the playoffs was a concern, since it's difficult to string multiple hits and walks together. Figured that they might put some runners on, but not get the RBI-producing hit. But this type of no-show offense, basically getting no baserunners at all, was unexpected.
-
Engine blows and the race ends. Or it’s an absolute Cinderella Story finish to the series. Wouldn’t bet on the latter, but baseball has a history of some strange outcomes.
-
Guess some defensive miscues were needed to complete the loser bingo card.
-
Bullpen for the Dodgers in the 6th Inning. Need to have that be their weak underbelly tonight.
-
Miz is pitching like a #1 Starter so far tonight.
-
Hope they can avoid a sweep in Los Angeles. Maybe the travel day will bring some sort of change.
-
That would’ve been a steal to get the win tonight. Would’ve been a gut punch to the Dodgers and a great way to set up Game 2. Tomorrow moves right close to “must win” status for the Brewers. Can’t see them going on the road down 0-2 and needing to win twice in Los Angeles to stave off elimination. With the travel day off, it would seem like Snell would line up for Game 5 in Los Angeles. Wouldn’t want to face him again without at least two games won in the series. Gotta get a good Peralta start, which is reflective of his season at home. Get the bats going early and secure a lead. Don’t expect any comfortable games in this series, but playing with a 3-tun lead or so would be nice.
-
Turang needed to take one for the team.
-
Got one back. That 9th inning conceded run hurts bad now.
-
Need some clutch at bats and a big hit. Done it enough times this season. Stealing this game would be massive.
-
That’s a playoff start by Snell on par with some of the Dodgers all-time performances like Larsen, Koufax, Drysdale, and Hershiser have done.
-
Gonna need Snell to hang a curveball or miss badly with a change up in the zone.
-
65 pitches through five innings for Snell. Not going to get into the Dodgers pen early like that.
-
Traffic on the bases, but still four scoreless innings for Priester so far. Doing the bulk inning job.

That's a very fair question and that other posters might be able to make a better case, but here's why Kiner-Falefa seems to be a target: (1) Salary Cost: He is within a price range that the Brewers seem to make free agent signings at. (2) Availability: During the last trade deadline time period, he was on the Pittsburgh roster, a team that was definitely a seller in 2025 and probably should have sold more. Additionally, there weren't any real great shortstop candidates in the 2025 trade market (3) Versatility: He is capable of being a starting shortstop but is probably more of a utility player. When thinking of the holes on the Brewers roster midseason in 2025, that seemed to be the issue: trying to upgrade from Ortiz–potentially also from Durbin–in the starting lineup, while also being a capable bench player if he was taking Monasterio's spot on the roster. (4) Potential Contract Length: He has been playing on shorter contracts. He was signed for 2 years/$15 million in Pittsburgh. If he were signed to a similar deal for 2026 & 2027, that wouldn't block the Brewers elite prospects at shortstop (Pratt, Made, Peña) coming through the system. So I don't think there's a clamoring for Kiner-Falefa among posters, other than looking for the least rotten apple towards the bottom of the barrel. Kim would be a better signing, but would he sign for what the Brewers might pay for a free agent?
-
If Kim does decline the player option, it would be Interesting to see if he might be a signable to a one-year contract for what would be the second year after his injury. Maybe even a two-year contract. It's worth looking into, though I don't anticipate it happening. I know that it wouldn't be a major needle moving signing, but I'd even consider looking at Kiner-Falefa on a one-year contract to help push Ortiz/fill the void, while not blocking any potential development of Pratt and others for the longterm shortstop position.
-
Quick bottom of the 8th. Didn’t have Uribe sitting long. He needs to come out dealing.
-
Another zero from the bullpen. Tack on at least one more insurance run.
-
Uribe needs to gather himself and dial in. Gotta be an adrenaline rush.
-
Murphy: “Need insurance runs.” Turang: “You rang?”
-
Insurance runs, please.

Divisional Round game thread
ReverendBrewmeister replied to duewizard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Indeed. Though finishing in 9 innings with a comfortable lead would be more than acceptable. Don't know if the members of this forum could survive a 9th inning walk off, let alone a 15-inning game. -
Before that, it was the three-game sweep at Texas (SEP 8–10). So it's been awhile since they lost three games in a row where they were using the roster more like games where the result truly mattered.
-
“Momentum is only as good as the next day’s starter." (Attributed to Earl Weaver.) That seems to be the issue in these games. Cubs had a disastrous start in Game 1, but followed it up with a bad start in Game 2. But then the Brewers had consecutive starts from Priester and Peralta in Games 3 and 4 that set both those games into holes that weren't climbed out of. Who knows what the start of Game 5 will be like. But if whoever starts can actually get through 1–3 innings without giving up runs, that will turn the whole matter. But both teams can be thinking the same thing, based on how the first four games have gone.
