The Brewers offense finally went berserk. Seven straight two-out hits. Eight runs. One inning. My report from the site of one of the wildest rallies you'll ever see.

I know Kevin Cash wanted the platoon advantage, but knowing all the traveling Nick Fortes had to do to see his wife and newborn, don't you think it would've been smart to start Liam Hicks instead?

Davis Allen seemingly has one 2-touchdown game every season

Love that the booth went to rules analyst Andy Fletcher just as the umpires were annoucing the call was overturned, and Fletcher talked over the annoucement. Great broadcasting

Need to See Everything from the front row because the entire theater was sold out, even with the movie playing every hour. Movies are SO BACK

MLB TV + Apple TV+ + YTTV sports only package got me everything except games involving the Braves or Reds, but that’s as an out of market fan, it’s significantly more complicated in market

Hey, @theonion.com — We fired the guy you interviewed who called me a Big Lumpy Editor who Publishes Horseshit over slack when I refused to greenlight a metric called Betting Line Edge Per Hamate (BLEPH)

The worst thing about all of this is that sports leagues are making deals with multiple streamers. To be a baseball fan and ensure that we can watch our favorite team on a given night, on top of cable packages and/or MLB TV, we also need to pay for no fewer than 3 of these services.

And now Grupe is hurt and doubtful to return after making the tackle on that kickoff — because his teammates couldn’t do it themselves.

My piece from tonight is finally up: The Brewers had no shortage of heroes in this series but I was blown away by William Contreras' performance on both ends of the ball. I wrote about the man who bridged the gap from Yelich to Chourio, as his time in Milwaukee is (perhaps) nearing an end

Well that's it for baseball west of the Mississippi this year. It was a privilege to witness and write about this. I'll see you when we get back to the Good Time Zones

When I reported this story on Bob Uecker's legacy with the Brewers, everyone I talked to told me something to the effect of: "Ueck wanted to see the Brewers win the World Series more than anything." They're now just 4 wins away:

Garrett Mitchell debuted in 2022. He had two career home runs against a left-handed pitcher until taking Alex Vesia deep for the go-ahead run in a playoff game.

what if when they said shohei ohtani was adamant, they meant "don't drink don't smoke, what do you do"

I was just thinking that the Brewers' fast guys ought to be running on Glasnow every time the base in front of them is open. Frelick steals second and scores on a David Hamilton single, and all of a sudden the Dodgers have just about spent that Ohtani homer voucher

tbf, probably the best month for a Brewers fan to subscribe since the internet was invented

113.1 mph, 428 feet — absolute no-doubter. We'll see if he's back

The Brewers have yet to allow a home run or a SB in the NLCS Just one team has gone an entire best-of-7 postseason series without allowing a home run or SB: 1927 WS Yankees vs PIT

José Ramírez is my favorite baseball player to watch.

That was Ohtani’s hardest-hit ball since June 20.

Ohtani’s single registered 113.5 mph — that's the hardest hit ball of the night for either team.

So is that Polymarket commercial telling us the Congressional staffer wagered on the incumbent's reelection chances before she went public with the allegations that he was having an affair with another staffer — thereby using insider knowledge to get rich? They're saying the quiet part out loud

hey if you're wondering where that Jake Bauers story they're talking about on the broadcast came from, the answer is here. They got it from here. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

At his angriest, Pat Murphy looks like Clancy Brown in THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION when he nearly throws Tim Robbins off the roof

They had a baby right before Lindor got off to a slow start his first year in New York. Take the over on the Mets next year

Good news: this part is almost over! Winter subscriptions to Words About Birds will remain open until tomorrow for $31.40, and that carries you through March 15. Lots of fun stuff planned (including maybe from Milwaukee…) and I hope you give it a shot:
