I feel a run coming here. When a guy makes a good/great defensive play to end an inning and then leads off the next something good usually happens. Lets go Yelich.
I like the organ music at the ballpark. Brings back memories.
What a terrible AB for Braun in the 8th. 2 pitches in the dirt to strike out on 3 pitches.
Big bats awful quiet.
Granderson and Moustakos have just missed the last couple of innings.
Someone is hitting one out to decide this one tonight.
Really getting squeezed here to start the inning. Pitches well inside the expanded strike zone Wedelstedt has had the whole game were called balls to get to that 3-1 count.
If I was cynical, I would say that the league office sent word.
Problem now is that the way that Hader has emerged, this almost seems like the difference between being up 3-1 after tonight or being down 3-2 going back to Milwaukee if he can't pitch tomorrow.
It does look like it hit his hand.
I have to get to bed. These 9 PM starts when you are on East Coast time suck. Good game regardless of the outcome.
Pissing away some big chances in the late innings.
Top of the order... it is time...
If Puig was in right that is a hit.
Aguilar looks lost.
Cain, Yelich, Jesus, Moose gotta get going.
****, Junior Guerra
Machado, what a prick.
****ing punk.
Machado is a dick.
Machado - Spanish for dirty piece of schit
Bats have gone dead calm.
Iâm out. I need my beauty sleep.
May already be too late.
Nobody left to hit for the pitchers.
Maybe Woodruff will hit a homer if he pitches and comes up to bat.
Not easy to go 0-6.
Gotta get it right now.
Or not.
Epic game, crappy ending.
Well. ****.
Yup....couldnât sleep, got up and shocked to see tie @ 1 - 1. Ending did suck. 
Well, gotta get that one tomorrow. Brewers hitting is atrocious right now. Braun is the only guy making solid consistent contact.

When heâs not swinging at pitches in the dirt.
Brewers Walmart pitching staff has been every bit as good as the Beverly Hills staff of the Entitled Dodgers. Junior is actually Goodwill level player similar to guys like Jesus and our amish catcher, Yoder?
That pitching by Junior was symbolic of what Derek Johnson has done with so many of our pitchers. Was like watching a homeless guy pick up a brush and produce a Picasso. Amazing performance!
The play by Bellinger on Cain was the difference.
Love this team. Making the Packer divorce easy.
Machado is, and always has been a piece of $hit as a human being. He and the Dodgers are a match made in heaven. Someday, Karma's going to catch up and he's going to get stepped on...and it won't be pretty.
To paraphrase Gary Gaetti "it's hard to hit with both hands around your neck".
Not sure that applies to our lads but some of them appear to be a bit tight. A couple of early hits would take some of the pressure off and allow them to loosen up. All slumps end, lets hope it is today.

Based on the fact he's already had two previous plays in this series that were questionable, if this was the regular season MLB would suspend him for a game. No way they'll do it now.
I'd argue that Machado kicking Aguilar was worse than a hard slide or a bean ball. At least for those, you can see it coming.
MLB wants the narrative to be that the "scrappy" Brewers gave the Dodgers all they could handle, but future HOF Kershaw and the Dodgers overcame them and now can face the Red Sox in the World Series.
Too bad Machado didn't play about 20 years ago. It would be fun to see a few fastballs in his earhole. I bet he would rethink his style pretty quick.

I'd be shocked if Kershaw has two subpar games in a row. I think a no-hitter by Kershaw is more likely than the Brewers chasing him in the first 5 innings.
At least they get two games in Milwaukee to try to advance with no Kershaw start looming.

I like the fact that Yelich called him out.
The "whataboutism" stuff depending Machado is ridiculous. I get the criticism of Braun's PED use. But the yahoos are trying to claim that booing Machado is hypocritical because Josh Hader tweeted some racist stuff when he was 16 years old. I despise the bullying on twitter by our old politicians, but Hader was a 16 year old kid that said some stupid, ignorant stuff. He didn't physically abuse anyone or intentionally try to injure someone.
Is Jesus hurt? Will he play today? No and yes as far I can tell. Play ball.
The only way he gets hit is if the the game is way one sided. The Brewers cannot afford to have a pitcher kicked out early in a close game.
Plenty of time next year for some serious chin music.
