  1. According to xwOBA we won the series, so I'm looking forward to our game tomorrow. (In other words, it was bad luck combined with some questionable managerial decisions)
  2. The roar of the crowd with the crack of the bat that immediately cuts to dead silence.
  3. Nothing will ever be as bad as how we went out in 2019 but it still freaking stinks. I'm not over it. I'll never take the run of success that we're having right now for granted, but part of the experience for me is chasing the joy that comes from postseason success and we came up empty. Taylor's line drive in game one could have been that moment until it wasn't. Rationally I know the silver linings are there and the future is bright but right now none of that really matters. This team didn't get it done and there's nothing else to do but try again next year.
  4. Yeah they will be right back here next year in the best-of-3 wild card with the pressure even higher because we apparently can’t win a postseason game anymore.
  5. The Brewers and Mariners are basically the same franchise. I need a third team to cheer for.
  6. Wow John Schneider is incredibly bad at managing in the postseason. This is the second straight year that he's made some very, very questionable pitching decisions.
  7. I had two takeaways from last year: 1. The road teams outperformed the home teams in the wild card round. 2. The wild card round winners had the advantage in the division series because of the momentum they carried over from winning a playoff series. This year is shaping up to be a little different but we know at least one lower seed is advancing already.
  8. Hahaha. A few weeks ago I was at an Angels-Mariners game where Brett Phillips was facing Andres Muñoz in a high leverage situation. I think it ended up being like an 8 or 9 pitch at-bat that was all 101 mph fastballs. Phillips knew what was coming and still didn't come close to squaring one up.
  9. Looks like no roster move. More Winker on the way.
  10. Personally I think Rowdy is the obvious choice but I recognize that everyone is going to have their opinion on who to pick off the ol' scrap heap for the last roster spot. Certainly he was the most likely of the "26th man" options to take Ginkel deep in that situation yesterday.
  11. I think we win today. The BABIP gods will shine down on us today.
  12. There's no doubt in my mind that parking lot usage is down significantly. I was in Wisconsin at the end of August and drove by during the Saturday night game against San Diego that was nearly sold out and the parking lots looked similar to those photos above. Maybe for Cubs games it is higher, I don't know, but it used to be a common thing for the lots to completely fill up, requiring them to park cars along the road to squeeze everybody in. Even the last time I was there in 2018 for the NLCS I wasn't able to purchase parking because I bought tickets at the last second and the lots were sold out. I'm sure the calculation for the Brewers is pretty straightforward -- they make more money by charging more and it's also better for traffic and the environment.
  13. Back in the day these lots would normally be full for a crowd of 40,000, but I noticed when I was in Milwaukee earlier this summer that the lots don't fill up as much as they did 10 or 15 years ago. I'm guessing Uber/Lyft is what changed???
  14. Win this one and give us a repeat of 2011 tomorrow.
  15. I feel like I’m a fairly optimistic fan and yet I’m completely unsurprised by this result.
  16. And Devin is now unavailable for the elimination game tomorrow. Unreal.
  17. The combination of bad luck and dumb outs on the bases might be too much to overcome. Going to have to get the best of Sewald, who was pretty bad in the postseason last year.
  18. I appreciate that Marlins Man chose us over the actual Marlins.
  19. Royce Lewis hasn't played in 2 weeks and is 2/2 with 2 HR today. So maybe the Brewers are on to something...
  20. Twins look good early -- it's easy to cheer against the Blue Jays but I'm pulling extra hard for @Brock Beauchamp to finally see that playoff losing streak end.
