The last two World Series winners beat the Brewers in the playoffs and the last three have represented the NL in the World Series. Just saying.

Huge error by Altuve

Well stated, I likely won’t watch a pitch

[rondoman]

God I love Jose Altuve!

 

An incredible player.

Good game last night.

 

I don't like these teams very much, but there are enough compelling storylines to make the remaining series interesting, especially considering the quality of baseball so far.

[PinaMadness]

Go Dodgers!

[adambr2]

It would be very difficult for me to care less on which of the remaining teams wins it all.

Kinda hope Dodgers win and dominate it just to show the crazy need for a salary cap or harsher luxury tax penalty in the next CBA.

I absolutely hate the Dodgers. About 10-12 years ago I went to see the Brewers play in San Diego for three then LA for three. San Diego was awesome and I’d like to go back. I have zero desire to ever go back to Dodger Stadium. Everything about that field was over rated including the crappy Dodger Dogs. Their fans made Cubs fans look like Saints. I don’t remember the final score but in one of the games Manny Ramirez just missed a walk off home run and flew out to the warning track to end the game. On the way out I made eye contact with some of their fans and I said wow that was a good game. I instantly was told to shut the bleep up and that if I said anything else they would beat my ass. Screw the Dodgers and their fans.

Man have there been some good baseball games this October. The Braves have been involved in a few.

 

Albies scores from first on that Riley hit, but no matter. I still love stolen bases in October.

I was hoping we’d trade for Austin Riley the past couple of offseasons but I guess I can see why Atlanta would want to hold onto him!

Yeah, pretty sure he's not going to be on the block anytime soon.

[AKCheesehead]

Wow what a game that was!

[jason21nl]

Some of these games have been just awesome

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If the Braves end up finishing this off, I had a thought that the Brewers were knocked out by the eventual (or obvious as it was LCS) league champion in 2008, 2011, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Besides this unfinished season, only the Dodgers in '18 didn't win the World Series. That's pretty incredible.

[owbc]

I wonder if the Braves are regretting using Morton on short rest in the NLDS...

[PinaMadness]

I've seen just about enough of the Braves, and the kicker is if they win this series I will have to root for them in the World Series.

It makes me feel a little less bummed, thanks for sharing!

Yikes.

[PinaMadness]

Bellinger strikes again!!!

[rondoman]

Bellinger strikes again!!!

 

Crazy.

 

Dodgers looked absolutely dead until the 8th inning.

[owbc]

The Braves probably blew the series tonight…can’t let a chance to go up 3-0 slip away like that.

[adambr2]

Say what you want about Bellinger's season compared to Yelich, he's had some big postseason moments. Yelich didn't, unfortunately.
