Ahead of the WBC, Team Italy asked Vinnie Pasquantino to help them grow the game of baseball in their country. They knew he was the man for the job as soon as they heard his response. “Why wouldn't I give everything I have to these people?” My latest with MLB.com: www.mlb.com/news/vinnie-...

If you’re starting to wonder No team has swept both the LCS and World Series since the LCS became best-of-7 in 1985 Yet

Did Yandy Díaz just bat-flip an RBI double that made it a 10-1 deficit in the bottom of the ninth?

Three months ago, Brandon Woodruff - the longest-tenured Brewer - announced he had to undergo shoulder surgery that might’ve been career-ending. Now he’s on the mound closing out Game 3 and bringing the Brewers one win from a World Series victory. How can you not be romantic about baseball?

Sal Frelick, my goodness. The Brewers just give you zero chances.

When your playoff hopes go from “we’re still in this” to dead in the water in the blink of an eye

The Rays thought they got the final out of the inning. Review showed they didn’t. The Brewers then scored *eight more runs* before the inning ended for real. You can probably start mapping out parade routes, Milwaukee.

How in the world did the Padres beat this Brewers team once?

The Brewers have scored five runs since this two-minute old post made after a review gave them an extra out

At this point every extra out the Brewers receive should come paired with the theme from Jaws

Playing the Brewers right now is either: - they take the lead, then hand the ball to the best bullpen in baseball - you take the lead, they inevitably come back It’s like a choose your own adventure book where every outcome is you falling off a cliff.

Holy shit Chandler Simpson

Aaron Ashby is the first pitcher in postseason history to get at least 5 outs in six consecutive appearances and not allow a run in any of them

The Brewers laugh off another postseason deficit, score five unanswered runs and take Game 2. Aaron Ashby, who's making an early MVP case, sealed the deal and put Milwaukee two wins from a title.

Opposing hitters are now batting .089 in 14.2 innings against Aaron Ashby this postseason. His WHIP is at 0.48.

Cooper Pratt gives the Brewers the lead. This team must be an absolute pain in the ass to play against.

Junior Caminero looking more than a little heated in the Rays' dugout as they keep struggling with the ill-timed miscues

Even after some miscommunication, Chandler Simpson had this ball on a diving grab and it just popped right out when his glove hit the ground

As is tradition, the Brewers went and erased another deficit. Sal Frelick goes yard and this one's all tied.

As you can see from this view, third-base coach Brady Williams instantly waved Liam Hicks around third for reasons unknown

Liam Hicks, who boasts a sprint speed in the bottom 12% of MLB, decided to head home on this single to shallow left. It went as you'd expect.

Victor Mesa Jr. sprints out to no-man's land to make a clutch sliding grab

Drew Rasmussen innings per start this postseason: ALDS Game 1: 8 IP ALCS Game 1: 6 IP ALCS Game 5: 7 IP World Series Game 2: 3.2 IP

With a muffed foul ball and an error at first, Jonathan Aranda can be thanked for two of the Brewers' three runs tonight

A little bit of chaos ball and the Brewers are now down by just one

Ken Rosenthal can thank the dugout railing for saving him from this Junior Caminero foul ball

When you're one inning into a World Series game and there's already six runs and seven hits

Garrett Mitchell brings in another Brewers run. It's a combined six-run first inning and counting.

William Contreras hit a foul ball that was in play, but Jonathan Aranda couldn't make the catch. Four pitches later, Contreras singles in a run.

You could spot my team a 75-run lead over the Brewers and I'd still be extremely wary of a Milwaukee comeback

And now Liam Hicks goes yard. It's 4-0 Rays and there's only been one out recorded in this game.

Junior Caminero ends a nine-pitch at-bat vs. Logan Henderson by singling home another run. The Rays came out of the gate firing tonight.

Well the Rays aren't wasting any time tonight. Chandler Simpson knocks home a run in the first and they have their first lead of the World Series.

Northwestern clinched bowl eligibility before Halloween. What a time to be alive.

A lot of firework smoke when you think you win a game on two separate occasions in the span of five minutes

Jacob Misiorowski is the first Brewers starting pitcher to earn a win this postseason

The game-ending fireworks may have been premature, but the final result remained the same. Trevor Megill locks back in and seals Game 1 for the Brewers.

Holy moly. The Brewers looked like they had turned a game-ending double play with the bases loaded, but upon further review, Cooper Pratt's foot was off the bag at second. The Rays plated a run on the play and are currently still alive.

Aaron Ashby has now logged 14 innings out of the Brewers' bullpen this postseason. In that time: 0 runs 4 hits 3 walks 14 K's .093 opponents' average

Jake Bauers' two-out single was fair by literally millimeters

Stop me if you've heard this one before: Jackson Chourio comes through with a big postseason hit for the Brewers

Abner Uribe and William Contreras were real hyped about that strike 'em out, throw 'em out double play

Once again the Rays tried to run on William Contreras. Once again it was a poor decision, made even more so since it came on a strikeout.

David Hamilton just learned that if you're going to stumble while going for a triple, do NOT do it while also testing Victor Mesa Jr.'s arm.

Running on William Contreras is already ill-advised. Doing it in this spot - with two outs and Yandy Díaz at the plate - was certainly a choice.

Man Jake Bauers had to do some work to make this pick at first, my goodness

For as shaky as his outing started, Nick Martinez has really settled down on the mound. He's already at five K's, a total he's hit just once in a game since August 18.

The Brewers' past two batted balls: 103.1 mph (Christian Yelich) and 108.4 (William Contreras). They appear to be seeing the ball well early tonight.

What would've been an incredible diving grab by Jonny DeLuca instead becomes the Brewers' first run of the game. Only fitting that Christian Yelich is the one to knock it in.
