    Hang on to your Stroh’s!!!!!!

    A Ernie Harwell line … Fire brewed!

    Not gaming much on the post season. Hard to watch a complete game. Most of the announcing has been good, but they lose me when they bring in the player’s teenage fantasies, first-date, pets, grandparents, favorite movies. Stick to the fantastic execution of plays, types of pitches, managerial decisions, base-running techniques, etc.

  • @Hank. Thank you! And don’t forget presenting way too much data!
  • From what I read one of the announcers of Cubs - Brewers game caught hell from both of the teams fans. My BIGGEST grip, background noise,way to loud for my liking. One other grip, playoff games starting at 8:08 CST.
    Go Brewers!!
  • Yes. NOISE events. They've become noise events. It sucks. I watched a couple of games at the tavern and restaurant, with sound muted. It was... lovely. Yanks are out. Utterly humiliated by Toronto.
  • NOISE!!!! Obviously you have never watched an NBA game.
  • Dodge _ Phil Game and series end in a bad way for Phil. Pitcher panics and the game is over! 2-1
    Brewers off to a bad start 0-3 first inning
  • Why isn't Kershaw mentioned as a possible pitcher for the NLCS? I knew he was retiring,... but BEFORE the WS????? Anyone know what's up wit dat? Thnx.

    Clayton Kershaw is a Hall of Famer. His potential final act was a disaster

  • He had a major melt-down as I saw it. Manage left him in to save a reliever from bull pen.

    Musta been.
  • Games today! Looking forward to a SEA/LAD WS. Fingers crossed.
  • @Crash Dodger starting pitcher did a job on brewer hitters. Yet one hit short in ninth inning & Brewers would have won. Another bull pen attempt by Milwaukee.

    Whoa! I checked the Wrap-up. I saw it was tight tight tight.
  • Dodge pitcher goes nine !!!! Looking like Brewers walked into the perfect storm !!!
  • That 8-6-2 DP the other day was extraordinary!

    Quite a game tonight. Ohtani stole the show. Like him, I throw right and bat left. The resemblances stop there.
    :)
  • SWEEP! But the Mariners still have to put away the Jays. Let's have a Left Coast World Series in 2025!
  • Payroll & injuries were to much for Brewski to over come! Has anyone seen a pitching roll out with the likes the Brewers put out there to play the game!?
    Hard to think they beat the Cubs for the chance to play the Dodgers.
  • Oh, Canada.....congratulations nearby neighbors.
  • Well. Doggy Poopies. But they won, fair and square.
    LOUD start:
  • Going through withdrawal here, until the WS starts. International, and across the Time Zones. Toronto? Surely the roof will be closed......

    Article: Baseball Has a New Evil Empire

    Two years ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers spent more than $1 billion in the span of a couple weeks to sign Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.”

    Hope Ohtani and Yamamoto read MFO so they know how to invest all that money!

    WSJ Link (might work)
  • @Crash Leave the roof open, it may cool-off the Dodgers!!
  • @hank I think his . Shohei Ohtani, interpreter helped him invest !!! It didn't work out for either one !!

    I remember that @Derf. Who knows what really transpired there? He’s certainly an amazing player. Can’t remember anyone quite like him. I recall Babe Ruth started out as a pitcher. But he hit so well they took him out of the rotation and used him as a fielder (probably outfield).

    Larry might remember the Tigers using some of their fielders to pitch late in games after emptying their supply of relievers. I think Kaline did so once. And a third baseman who I can’t remember.
    (Steve Boris?)
  • Dodgers forgot to bring their relievers, bull pen. Down 11-4 bottom 8.
  • Glad I missed it.
  • Again, I'll state. Canada.....congratulations nearby neighbors.
  • Dodgers come back to win Game2. Dodger Blue!
