I've read a lot of people saying the Brewers will be back next year. I wouldn't count on it & would be really surprised if they are. Small market teams like the Brewers simply can't be good year in & year out like the high payroll teams. Brewers needed every bit of luck & had to squeeze out every drop of talent from what they had. They simply played as good as they could.
I figure the Brewers have a decent shot of making the playoffs every 5 years. They have a shot of making the world series every 25 years. So this loss stings.
I was wrong.
Back to back playoffs for 1st time since 1981, 82. Also back to back batting titles for Yelich.
What a finish, even with the sweep of the last 3 games. I remember seeing a stat in early Sept that said Brewers had a 9% chance of making the playoffs & pretty much thinking it was over. Then Yelich went down. And Brewers somehow go on to win 17 of 19 games down the stretch.
Nationals have won 10 of their last 11. Looks like Brewers will face Scherzer who they last faced May 6th in a game the Brewers ended up winning in Milwaukee.
Hey man, I know that it's disappointing (I would be losing it if the Braves lost like that. My Falcons lost a SB like that) but the Brewers played with heart and had a good season and will be battling for the Central next season.
Just was reminded that Grisham took over for Yelich in R field after he went down with an injury. I don't see Yelich making that fielding blunder & at least could have thrown the ball in the infield to keep it a tie.
Brewers have so many injuries they likely wouldn't have done much against the Dodgers if they won. Realistically all I was hoping for was to get past the wild card. And for 7 plus innings they had it. Then in typical Wisconsin fashion, they fell apart in the playoffs.
I'm going to Milwaukee on 10/11. Had my hopes on taking in October baseball while there but it wasn't meant to be. Morning sports radio chatter mentioned a controversial HBP. I wasn't able to watch and will search for clips tonight. Hope the right call was made. Brew Crew had an amazing season and stayed alive without Yelich. Next year can be better.
I heard Ballys is about $20/month or $15/month if you get a yearly subscription. Seems a bit overpriced to me.
