Are you sure? Some Packer writers have been trying to convince us for the last week or so that if anything, Matt is TOO tough.

Ben Johnson: “I hate the (******) Packers. Hate them. Luther Burden: “He wants to beat them really bad like everyone else in the room, make them quit.” Aaron Rodgers: “I (******) own you” Matt LaFleur: “this game is about players and so we’ll keep it about the players. I’m not the one out there they’re playing … don’t get me wrong. I love the rivalry. It’s awesome. It’s great. It’s intense. You can feel it on gameday. You can feel it throughout the course of the week and also the significance, I mean, they’re the defending North champions. So what a great opportunity, great challenge for us in our home stadium to play against the defending champs.” This guy just radiates toughness. The Packers must just want to run through a brick wall for him,

It’s pretty sad though that we’re now in an era where we are underdogs to the Bears at home against a backup QB. That has to be unprecedented since the pre-Favre era.

I wonder if May would still be the plan if the series was 0-2 or 1-1.

Thought for sure they swept the Rockies in 2018.

Hard to believe but the Brewers have not won a playoff game on the road since Game 3 of the 2018 NLCS in Los Angeles. Time for that to end tonight.

I honestly really couldn’t care less about Machado one way or another. He doesn’t bother me. It was 8 years ago, Aguilar has been out of the league for 3 years and not a Brewer for 7. I think it’s a little weird to have such a long memory about things. People can boo if they want, whatever, I think there’s a piece of that that just comes with being a longtime star player on the road. Yelich gets soundly booed in some stadiums for no real reason at all.

I counted 17 missed ball/strike calls yesterday — 9 against us and 8 against the Padres. Bad, but not as one sided as I expected to see. The 3B ump on the other hand…

May wouldn’t be my choice , and I think that if he has a poor outing that you can make a pretty good case that he shouldn’t on the NLCS roster. That said, the 2-0 lead lets them approach the next game without any desperation, so you can roll the dice on him. I hope they don’t take any game for granted though, and if they’re in a position to win they should go for it. As fun as games like last night are at home to win, I’d prefer to avoid a repeat of last year of dropping both road games and heading back to Milwaukee for one winner take all.

Stammen is going to take some flack from Padre fans for pushing Miller for two innings but if you watch Chourio’s AB, Mason Miller did absolutely nothing wrong. Those were all really good, highly competitive pitches, he threw his best stuff at Chourio and just got beat by a clutch hitter. I think if he repeats the same sequence of pitches against the average MLB hitter, he probably records an out 95% of the time. If you want to get on him for losing the zone against Yelich, Frelick and Sanchez I think that’s probably fair. But against Chourio he did nothing wrong,

Packers beat reporter to MLF: “Cooper is such a talented player. How do you accomplish what you want to this season without him?” MLF: “Yeah, I don’t know, Pete.” (Silence) not that it is the most important part of his job or anything, but how is he getting progressively worse and worse at this whole “talking to the media” thing after 8 years?

JACKSON FREAKING CHOURIO ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!

Vaughn would go to 3rd and Ortiz to SS.

So close to turning it over to Chourio.

What does that have to do with Mason Miller?
