If you had given me the option "be up 2-1 agains the Cubs heading into game 4 of the NLDS" a week ago, I would have gladly accepted it.

4 months ago I would have committed atrocities to even get that offer.

Yet here I am, totally miserable. Baseball is a very funny thing.

My wife still freaks out when she hears a panic song. "DID YOU HEAR THAT?"

Yeah, yeah, I know Ain't Life Grand, Amy.

Cause his stuff sucks?

Yeah, Jake Jolly (Jolley?) and he had a Twitter. Not sure if he joined the exodus over here or not. Initial search turned up nothing.

Jake is the best!

It's amazing how much less I feel like watching baseball right now than I did on Saturday.

I mean, I'm still doing it, but I'm a sick fuck.

You’re not the first person to tell me this. I’m generally skeptical, but he does seem to be framing everything from their perspective tonight and the cubbies thing is genuinely irritating.

I generally like Darling, but this “Cubbies” bullshit is extremely grating.

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 3h

Thanks?

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 3h

Are we?

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 3h

I would pinch run for Chourio here…but I’m not sure with who?Vaughn? Jansen?

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 3h

Surely the HP ump will gift a call like this to the #Brewers the next two innings to make up for it, because “calls always even out “ right?

Baseball gonna baseball.

Extremely bizarre stat:

Jake Bauers, in nine at-bats, has as many playoff home runs with the Brewers as the franchise's all-time home run leader, Ryan Braun, has in 106.

Boy, that “the day before an off day” caveat is looking smart on my part!

Guys, it is going to take A LOT to get me mad about using Ashby in the postseason the day before an off day.

Gonna have trouble getting insurance for that contract.

Let Anderson face the bottom of the order here? I think i I would.

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 4h

Sure, that could have been fine too.

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 4h

Yeah, and with that zone it was a real concern. But give me the stuff over praying this lineup gets itself out any day.

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 4h

Miz has the stuff to miss bats. Q does not.

I’m not clear as to why it was too early to PH Perkins for Lockridge?

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 4h

They got fortunate there. Could have easily spiraled out of control.

RD Topp @rdtopp.bsky.social · 4h

That’s not on Ortiz, that’s Murph’s fault.
