The #Brewers had an approach that made them almost magically effective from April through September. They knew it wouldn't be enough to get them here, though. This season, several hitters made small, key adjustments with one goal: be an offense that wins in October. brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

3 months after announcing he would undergo a second shoulder surgery that would threaten his career, Brandon Woodruff is taking the mound in a World Series game for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Brandon Woodruff is warming in the bullpen. You knew that already, didn't you?

Depends on whom you’re asking it of, dunnit

It’s 10-0. How do you not just take him off his feet and give Lara a few reps?

I had never seen that “Liberals are the New Racists” ad before and I’ve never tasted so many flavors of “holy shit” at once before.

Robert Gasser is only the third Brewers pitcher to toss 6+ shutout innings in a postseason game ever. He's the second to do it in the World Series, joining Mike Caldwell, who shut out the Cardinals in Game 1 of the 1982 Classic.

Remember that we got a really good World Series. It was just played three weeks ago, in Milwaukee and San Diego.

Honestly? Most of the legit “what-if”s in this series would have favored the Brewers.

This is the baseball equivalent of the 85 Bears-Patriots Super Bowl

The color of the sky in Seattle is aurometalsaurus #707680

Gave up the ass. Got the belt.

Now tied for 292nd. Same number of career playoff hits as (among others) Willie Mays, Adrián Beltré, Mike Piazza, Jackson Chourio.

Hey Jonathan Aranda might get into this game after all. Small position switch..

Get Brandon Woodruff up. Get him up now, give him a while. Nice and easy. He comes on for the 6th.

Smoltz saying Caminero made the only play he had is incredibly on brand. In that Caminero did clearly have one play and it was the opposite of the one he made

Jackson Chourio entered tonight tied with 15 other players for 351st all-time in playoff hits. He’s now tied for 306th. Among the players he’s passed already tonight: Dave Parker, Allen Craig, Ichiro, and Craig Counsell.

Robert Gasser looks like one of the merry men in a live-action, light-hearted Robin Hood movie. Ryan Vilade looks like one of the bad guys in the same movie.

corporate media routinely describes Tim Scott as a moderate and celebrates his "relentless optimism"

Taylor Walls against this pitching staff is as Coughing Baby vs Atomic Bomb as we’ve seen in October since they made the DH universal and permanent

This is the first frame of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV (1987) theme.

Thank goodness Ken is there. What would we have done without that insight?

Yandy Díaz’s 115.5 mph leadoff single is the hardest-hit ball of this postseason thus far He has each of the top two

Aaron Ashby is—I mean this in a good way, as you'll see, but it's true—the least athletic-looking player I've ever encountered in a big-league clubhouse. He's also the dominant presence of this postseason, because he's such a freak athlete. Here's what I mean: brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

The Brewers took like two months to use any lineup a second time this year, and finished with 146 distinct lineups in 162 games. Now, they're using the same one three times in a row to start the World Series—and it wasn't one of the 146 they used before.

To move both powerfully and fluidly is the central challenge of most baseball action. Aaron Ashby has it down better than ever, at the best possible time. #brewers #milwaukee #thisismycrew

During Game 2 of the World Series, impending free-agent pitcher Kevin Gausman engaged in a bit of good, old-fashioned vaguebooking. Let's see if there was anything to it. #brewers #milwaukee #thisismycrew

This is a little silly, but Kevin Gausman tweeted during Game 2 of the World Series, and I decided to write about the extremely vague claim contained in that tweet. brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Even the playoff highlights that aren't William Contreras are William Contreras highlights. The Brewers' catcher and warrior-in-chief has led them from the batter's box, the catcher's box, the top step of the dugout or—when he can no longer be contained—wherever… #brewers #milwaukee #thisismycrew

You can make a case that—given the physical demands of the modern game and the sheer volume he's accumulated—William Contreras has borne the heaviest catcher workload ever over the last three years. But far from being tired, he's more wired than ever. Evidence: brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

The Rays’ flat swings make them susceptible to stretches in which they hit a lot of balls *straight* into the ground. The Brewers unlocked that vulnerability with a change to their usual pitch mix and approach in Game 2, and absolutely smothered Tampa Bay.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵
