Congrats to the Brewers. Fittingly it was the pitching that did it.

In the 22nd inning this is no longer true.

JJ Cooper @jjcoop36.bsky.social · 13h

We have now had 21 innings of do-or-die games in the past two days.

And every inning has been wonderfully excruciating.

In every at-bat of those 21 innings the game has either been tied or the trailing team has had the tying run at the plate.

Brewers have a one-run lead. They also have elite RPs still available.

Cubs have an uphill battle.

Kittredge took the Greg Maddux approach to the baserunner.

Since his velo is down Misiorowski is really having to mix his pitches and pitch.

He had thrown breaking balls with 2/3 of his pitches so far.

He is down to 99-101. A man had to adapt.

That wasn't middle-middle. That was a great job by Suzuki.

And it tries. I find Wrigley Field disappointing for the fact that it glides on its history. I can understand the terrible crowd flow post-game (old stadium). But that stadium has awful/generic concessions with almost no local character/distinction.

No one can say that about Milwaukee.

I haven't been to every MLB park, and I've definitely not been to everyone as a non-working baseball fan.

But I having gone to many I really do think Milwaukee fits in the top tier of great stadiums and the fans were great there too.

We are facing a deciding game of an LDS series where the two starting pitchers between them have not worked longer than 2.0 IP in any game this season.

Bullpenning has become a significant feature of the postseason because it keeps working.

Bullpen Games Keep Paying Off In The Postseason

It may seem like a strategy of desperation, but teams using bullpen games are winning over and over in the postseason.

usually takes more than one game to learn that. your wife is a prodigy.

This is the first baseball game my wife has ever seen and she now believes this is a sport about eternal punishment

Glad I could sleep in after last night's game.

But it got me to thinking, and I, and many of you, have stayed up later in recent years to see the end of a playoff game. By those standards, last night's game was merciful.
