Easily the Cubs. But I think the Padres will dispose of the Cubs in two games.

Yelich hasn’t tallied an RBI in his last 17 playoff games. Last one was his leadoff HR in 2018 NLCS Game 7.

Nah, there’s just not enough space to accommodate the crowd, especially with people bringing their own chairs. Also not enough food vendors and long/confusing lines with limited signage. Like I’ve said for years, Rick S just isn’t very good at his job.

This pep rally is kind of a circus. They clearly were not prepared for the large crowds. Never underestimate Rick Schlesinger’s ability to screw up the easy stuff.

Well I guess there’s only one thing left to do…

I’m pulling for the Cubs. Need the bye locked up ASAP.

I would be shocked if Harrison isn’t still injured in some capacity. Shut him down for a few weeks.

Winning 1 in this series should put the division away. The race to lock down a bye will be the focus in September, and unfortunately the Dodgers only have 3 games remaining against teams with a winning record (Padres at home). Braves have 7 against the Phillies, 3 at Wrigley, 3 vs Rays and 3 at Houston.

Great baseball game. Probably the first game this season that absolutely felt like a playoff game.

Goal is to avoid LA in a best of seven.

1 seed isn’t the goal, a top 2 seed is. The 2 seed is the sweet spot, assuming the Dodgers are the 1 seed and draw the Cubs in the NLDS.

Yelich is just terrible

This is really the biggest problem I have with the Dodgers and the one area where I think they operate in bad faith. I don’t know what you can do in the CBA to prevent them from sending top tier guys to Arizona for summer vacation with a generic injury.

The prospect haul going out would be tough to stomach, but trading for him improves the Brewers WS odds and proactively prevents him from going to their direct and strongest competitor. And the Brewers are not winning 4/7 against that rotation if Skubal is healthy and effective.

Virtually no difference between the 1/2 seed, and a 2 seed for the Brewers might result in a more challenging division series opponent for the Dodgers
