2018-10-07 (NLDS Game #3): Brewers (Miley) at Rockies (Márquez) 3:37 PM CDT [Brewers win 6-0, completing sweep of COL, and are going to the 2018 NLCS!!!]

[SRB]

Honestly with a 4 run lead I hope they let Burnes throw next and see if they can get to the finish without using Hader/Jeffress in the cold wet conditions.

 

I agree. Maybe it's hubris but with the bottom part of the Rockies order coming up I wouldn't mind Burnes or even Guerra to avoid giving Hader/Jeffress even more work.

[young guns]

Lots of arguing and whiny faces from the rockies this series. Are they always this whiny? Arenado looked like he was gonna cry

 

They stink. They're lucky they played a bunch of even more whiny, pouty pretenders with no backbone at the end of they year because they have been brutally exposed against the two legitimate contenders in the NL in the last month.

They did beat the cubs. Oh. I see.

[coolhandluke121]

I'd give Hader the LHB's CarGo and Wolters, but no need to ask anything more of him.

The real question here is, "Is George Webb giving us free burgers if we win NLCS game 1?"

[Vgmastr]

A walk, two strikeouts and a fly out and Soria only threw 11 pitches. Pretty impressive after that first batter, I'd send him out there for the 7th.

[MrTPlush]

2 runs were great but we still struck out 3 times and the batters did nothing to bring those runners in with less than 2 outs.

 

Yah, hard to ignore that. We aren’t playing a postseason team right now...more like the Orioles. The Dodgers are way better than this...way better. I hope we turn things around by Friday cause we won’t win games against the Dodgers playing like this.

 

 

Do you have anything to add or are you just going to critique my opinion without sharing one yourself.

 

Hard to argue our offense hasn’t been terrible...and we ain’t really playing against great pitchers. The pitching has been pretty solid, but their offense looks tired and defeated. I will say our composure and mental game has been on point in this series.

[pacopete4]

I think we are really showing who is enjoying this and who is a train wreck watching. I just don’t know how more fans aren’t truly enjoying this stuff. I’m soaking it in!

Pretty sure I saw an article and the answer is yes.

Marquez is a great pitcher. If you can't at least enjoy this series I don't really know what to tell you. Brewers have won 10 in a row...leading in game 11. Enjoy the ride, dude.

Oh I am enjoying it, but hope we play a little better ball come Friday. They have the talent and players to do it. Maybe this was our slump and another team just slumped harder on offense. Bats hopefully can come awake in the warm confines of Miller Park and LA.

[topper09er]

That was an mvp level mad at yourself for getting under it bat flip

[clancyphile]

Kratz is my favorite player on this team - a guy who's been all over the place in his career, with little MLB experience, at age 38 becomes a big part of the Brewer season. Great story, very happy for him.

 

Arguably the NLDS MVP - two-run single in Game 2, the double and the run on a wild pitch...

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I can't remember the last time I saw Yelich get out three times in a row. You could tell he thought he should have knocked that pitch out of there.

[Mac Attack]

Tough crowd here...

I enjoyed it, thanks for the concern. It is possible to analayze the team completely and still enjoy it. Maybe not for you, but everyone is different.

Probably him or moose.

They do have to execute better on offense to beat LAD, but they might. They really haven't been a bad offensive team since acquiring Moustakas, and there's not much reason to believe the current RISP struggles are anything more than a normal fluctuation.

[topper09er]

So looks like we could go the whole series and not see Freeland or Davis

Hard to pin it to anyone really. All of Kratz big plays ended up rather meaningless looking at the end result. Probably should go to Moustakas. He was huge the first two games.

So because we're winning we can't acknowledge that our offense has looked putrid against average at best pitching? If we advance, whoever we play will have a batter offense and better pitching. Ya, I'm excited to (probably) be moving on but there are lots of red flags in the batters box.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

Just so everyone has some perspective, scoring is way down throughout the playoffs. The way teams avoid allowing batters to even get a 2nd look at pitchers is going to make it harder for runs to come by. Chill about the Brewers bats. They're getting the job done. Allow yourself to enjoy the game of baseball.

[coolhandluke121]

I vote we hold off on any "the series is basically over" allusions for a little while yet.

[PinaMadness]

Still need to put up a couple more runs. This is still a potent Rockies offense playing in Coors Field even if they haven't shown it yet.

[nodakfan17]

The Rockies are not good. Worse playoff team than the 2008 Brewers.

They still beat the Cubs

[Bulldogboy]

Rockies have some bad contracts on the books looking at them.They need to find some cash to pay Arrenado now. Not going to be easy.
