Reading the Athletics's MLB newsletter from today. Look, I understand typos happen but they are just falsely stating Woodruff actually had surgery and then botch Garrett Mitchell's last name.

Good inning imo

The Brewers are 24-4 in their last 28 games.

0/2 on replay tossups this series. One on each side too

I am learning now that nothing is more excruciating than the 90 minutes before a World Series game your team is playing in.

Woody on, Patrick off. Let’s ride

Fun piece, always enjoy Jake's work! This part got me thinking - the top of the Rays lineup might struggle with a lefty with who has an effective 4 seam at the top of the zone. Who does that sound like?

I hate takes like this. The Brewers get lumped into the likes of the Rays/Guardians in terms of cheap payrolls but good teams but they are consistently right around 20th in payroll despite being the smallest market.

The offense did their job

Murph now has to trust May (and maybe Harrison and Patrick) and not go to Ashby or another A pen guy until this is at least tied.

Three straight cutters to Ohtani might not be the best strategy

The Brewers are 21-4 in their last 25 games.

Brewers going to all out war against the Padres while the Dodgers played a quite poor Braves team is showing in this series. Dodgers haven’t bounced back from a punch yet since they never really took one from the Braves

Another 10/10 game. Made it from these seats to home in bed in Madison in 2 hours. Some sort of record

Turang is looking like his 2023 self this series.

109.6 off the bat for an out to start the night

3 of the 4 Padres runs have scored on these events

Roof is open today per the roof hotlines

The Padres were lucky to be in that game. Don’t let anyone tell you anything else

Padres bullshitting their way on base all night on soft contact and the Brewers winning on two tanks is quite poetic.

49 degree launch angle. That wasn’t getting out of the park

The padres offense is looking like how people think the Brewers offense operates. Weak contact finding holes

Unsure why Ray was allowed to face Chourio a second time with a guy on base imo

Since it is dunking on the Cubs and Counsell day, here’s a fact that I discovered today. Craig Counsell has lost 12 straight games on the road as a manager (0-5 with Cubs, lost last 7 with Brewers after winning first 2). His last road win was at LA in game 3 of the 2018 NLDS

Reminder that they were picked 18th in the team fun draft this spring. They won 103 games and it was the most fun 6 months of baseball I've ever experienced.

Wisconsin had a 96% post game win expectancy yesterday. They throughly dominated PSU and only had to comeback because of the picks that lead to 10 points.
