Beating Skubal and Yamamoto and getting a 2-0 lead over the Dodgers is no easy feat at all, it's been a while since the Brewers have felt like an actual postseason threat, good stuff from them

[u/jedstrailerpark → u/Something_319]

Yeah part of me wants to say the old “it’s not a series until someone wins on the road” adage, but Milwaukee’s been super impressive. Skubal/Yoshi are about as impressive a 1-2 as you’ll find this postseason.

[u/mostpodernist → u/jedstrailerpark]

Brewers are also 3-1 at Dodgers stadium this year

[u/Gryphon999 → u/mostpodernist]

We swept them last year, and that didn't get us anything.

[u/PuncherOfNeck → u/Gryphon999]

Yep, I had confidence going into the NLDS because we were 5-1 against them this year. Thanks offense 🫩

[u/bigbluethunder → u/Gryphon999]

Sure, but it also didn't get us a home win ;-)

Each win has to be earned. I'm glad we got the two we got. Let's get two more. Don't care where they happen, but let's not let it go 7. Go Crew!

[u/Electric_Queen → u/nakedlettuce52]

Why does it have teeth

[u/blowpop11]

I just don't understand how people can see what the Brewers have done for like half a decade and say "No, see, THIS is the year it all falls apart. Let's set the odds at about three games over .500 this year"

[u/Senators_1992 → u/blowpop11]

Remember the doom and gloom here back in January after they traded Freddy Peralta to the Mets?

Someway, somehow, Milwaukee keeps finding a way…

[u/I_AM_SCUBASTEVE → u/Senators_1992]

Their pitching development is literally unfathomably good. Like multiple starters go down and they just bring up guys that would be top 2-3 starting pitchers on other teams from the minors. It’s why they didn’t care about Peralta leaving, they had guys like Mis there to come out and throw 105mph heaters.

[u/soggytoothpic → u/Senators_1992]

This years Brewers are without their top four pitchers in wins from last year.

[u/yellingaboutsports5 → u/blowpop11]

I have bet the over on Brewer wins pretty much the last 8 years and won I think every time save for one

BREWERS what a game I have never loved watching a walk so much before in my life

[u/Mcswigginsbar → u/skylitstars]

Absolute battle. Yamamoto was gassed by the end of it.

[u/brwslider → u/Mcswigginsbar]

Very convenient his pitch com “stopped” working 11 pitches into the AB

[u/Breakdown1738 → u/brwslider]

Yeah I get it's part of the game within the game and I would fully expect the Brewers to do the exact same thing shoe on the other foot but like c'mon man. Nobody in the stadium or watching at home had to have believed that lmao.

[u/Acceptable-Story3741 → u/Breakdown1738]

That at bat and when Murph came out with the trainer to check on Hamilton after the HBP. he didn't talk to Hammy, he talke to Freddie. A little gamesmanship to mess with the opponent

[u/ProperNomenclature → u/brwslider]

There needs to be a rule that if your pitchcom "doesn't work," tough titties, time for hand signals or else a pitch violation

[u/NorthPackFan → u/skylitstars]

Two more wins Brewers bros. Two more wins!!

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Im sick of the “Ohtani is injured” excuses

Athletes need to get more shit when they play through an injury and suck

like your pride is costing the team put down the bat and stop being a free out

[u/Yragknad → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

I mean he is, but yeah he isn’t playing well. But their offense problem doesn’t fall solely on Ohtani when everyone else is also sucking pretty bad. They’re like 2-26 with RISP.

[u/TheSaltyJunk → u/Yragknad]

Fresh Prince Will Smith hits better than Dodger Will Smith at this point...

[u/Queen-Makoto → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

I mean the manager should be the one to force the issue. I expect players to think they can play through it. Robert's the guy who should have final say. Tell Shohei he's sitting. Hell Yelich got benched last game and came out like gangbusters today.

[u/Ofreo → u/Queen-Makoto]

But Yeli, you see, all year…. Well, see he’s the captain. I guess. I love the guy, but it was a no brainer the first game. And I’m happy he helped tonight.

[u/TheReal-MrSully617 → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Nobody in the organization has the balls to tell him that he’s hurting the team

[u/just_Okapi → u/TheReal-MrSully617]

Good, let him cook. 😈

[u/clownparade → u/TheReal-MrSully617]

Meanwhile one of the best players the brewers have ever had and team captain sat out of the lineup for game 1 simply because the manager said today it’s best for the team and we didn’t hear a peep from the player

Brewers just seem to have that clutch gene this year. What a crazy game. Gg

[u/Livid-Reading-5214 → u/__AJK__]

Amazing back and forth game (until the 8th) regardless of winning there have been two great games so far

[u/soopadrive → u/__AJK__]

Dodgers have a few players that aren't pulling their weight. Brewers are capitalizing on that.

[u/TheNewGuy13 → u/__AJK__]

That bullpen is like ours in 24. Just unhittable and every dude walking out there is doing everything right.

Our offense relies heavily on HRs and they have zero in 18 innings. The floodgates need to open or it’s a wrap if we can’t find a way to get around their bullpen or jump on their starters.

[u/samhit_n]

It just feels like it’s Milwaukee’s year. Being down 0-2 after starting Skubal and Yamamoto feels like a nightmare.

[u/Otterable → u/samhit_n]

I had the chance to visit Milwaukee over memorial Day, caught a brewers game and ended up seeing yamamoto pitch against them. Glad this result turned out differently.

Also the Milwaukee art museum is very good I highly recommend

[u/Turbulent-Ticket8122 → u/samhit_n]

I watched the Dodgers a ton this year because they come on at like 9pm and are a fun team to watch and I was baffled that we were able to do that to Yamamoto

Smith is a terrorist who refuses to challenge

[u/peckx063 → u/samhit_n]

I do think yall have the advantage with whomever ends up starting games 3 and 4 though. Like Gasser could be great again but that is a big unknown. My money is on Snell being pretty locked in

[u/jediporcupine]

Owners have to be absolutely furious the Brewers are destroying their Money Buys Championships narrative ahead of the lockout.

Milwaukee is taking a noble stand for baseball fans.

[u/peckx063 → u/jediporcupine]

Funny thing is I am pretty sure the new CBA is going to absolutely fuck us because the possible years of service reduction and international draft are going to nerf some of the areas in which we excel.

[u/More_Owl_8873 → u/peckx063]

But the revenue sharing would allow us to keep more of our good players. I, for one, want to see Miz and Contreras signed long term!

[u/Gimme_Sum_Roy → u/More_Owl_8873]

I think they’re going to pay Contreras. A great catcher who can hit is too hard to come by. I wonder what kind of money he’s expected to get… Man l really hope he stays.

[u/W1sconsinKnight → u/peckx063]

Yeah, anything from the owner's side has nothing to do with their interest in supporting small teams and everything to do with slashing avenues for paying people wherever such avenues can be found.

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live → u/jediporcupine]

Rays/Brewers world series is no joke going to do wonders for the CBA

[u/jediporcupine → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Owners would crash out. They have narratives to uphold

[u/LopsidedCry7692 → u/jediporcupine]

One year isn't going to change anyone's mind

[u/aza_8850 → u/LopsidedCry7692]

Exactly. Far more often than not teams that spend more money win more often. And teams that can just spend whatever they want with no regard for spending limits will generally get all the best free agents. If anyone thinks any other team was gonna spend anywhere close to what the Dodgers paid for Tucker then youre in your own realtiy. The Dodgers gave Tucker the type of money that tells other teams, go fuck yourself, we will pay whatever it takes to keep them away from you. And without any rules to say otherwise they will continue to do it. Fortunately baseball is in a fairly unique position where even the worst teams can win 40% of games. The worst teams in the NBA or NFL will win 10-15% of the time. So even when youre the Dodgers and you spend way more than anyone else you still have a decent chance of losing a series. The Dodgers losing absolutely does not change the narrative of money buys championships.

[u/ForensicPathology → u/jediporcupine]

They won't change their arguments nor the actual negotiations.  They'll just have fewer useful internet fans arguing their case publicly for them.

[u/YankeePhan22]

It will be fun to watch a WS where both teams have never won the whole thing.

[u/Highfivebuddha]

The Dodgers are just not built to beat a team like the Brewers

[u/doublegoldendragon]

This game needs to be a wake up call for the Dodgers. The only way we could score was the Brewers screwing up. The offense all postseason has been pathetic, especially with RISP

Right now, the Brewers are the better team in basically every facet

[u/OnlyForBaseball → u/doublegoldendragon]

Let em sleep

[u/Correct_Look2988 → u/doublegoldendragon]

I find it hard to root for either team in this series but the Brewers play smart baseball and aren't just looking at analytics. It's been interesting to watch how much other teams rely on walks and home runs while the Brewers line up just keeps putting the ball in play, bunting runners over and coming up with hits with RISP.

They are pretty much the only team i've watched that feels like getting a runner on with 0 or 1 outs is gonna result in runs. Tampa is similar I suppose but haven't watched them play nearly as much to really say.

[u/Lower_Appointment]

They bleed.

[u/scoop15]

I got flamed the other day when the post for the dodgers game 1 & 2 starters went up and everyone said they were ready for the lockout, and i said actually this dodgers team looks very beatable (Braves just stink) and the brewers are the perfect team to do it. Know the series isnt over, but can’t be off to a better start. Good luck to you guys.

[u/tor122 → u/scoop15]

That Dodgers team is 10000000% beatable, especially if you knock those starters out. That offense is a bunch of old fossils. This series is Milwaukee’s to lose at this point.
