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

Yelich might be cooked

We have a Schlesinger Special brewing outside the stadium. LONG long entry lines.

One of the worst NFL games you’ll ever see. Also, hilarious and heartbreaking for all those that bet Vikings -14.

I agree that structural changes are needed. But when the dust settles, I think this will go down as one of the biggest World Series chokes in the modern era. Toronto outscored and outhit the Dodgers by a significant margin, and didn’t commit an error. Lots of devastating WS losses in recent memory (Cleveland 2016, Texas 2011, etc.), but this one takes the cake.

I hate the bunt but I hate pulling Bichette for IKF as a pinch runner even more. The Blue Jays were the better team in this series and they blew it.

I think we are in the midst of an all-timer tonight

Nearly every single Toronto at bat is quality and competitive.

Pitching depth was not an issue in the NLCS, but I suspect it would have been an issue had the series gone to 6-7 games.

2025 playoff wins: Cubs: 4 Brewers: 3
