1-0 Dodgers as Machado (who the Brewers tried to trade for) hits a 2nd inning HR.
I think Dodgers take this in 5 as Brewers starting pitching is not nearly good enough, as well as lack of playoff experience.
Don't understand pulling Gio after 2 innings of decent, not great, but certainly good enough pitching. There seems to be this new era of thinking that anything less than first ballot HoF starting pitching should be yanked at first sign of adversity in a playoff game. Saw it plenty in first round. I don't get it...
Brewers are red hot and the Dodgers cant get over the hump
Go Brew!
Well, certainly criticism for prior seasons is warranted... but his velocity has been way down this year. Last night most of his pitches seemed to be in the 89-92 mph range.
So i feel bad for him - he's one of the greats of this era. Hope his back ailments dont shorten his career.
Oh and Grandal cost him at least 2 runs too.
Fly out
Infield single
FC ground out
Single through gap in shift
HBP
HBP/force in run
Grand slam to JBJ, fastball up.
Not exactly a bullpen fix.
Stros not getting much from Altuve and Correa, gotta get them going.
Awesome.

Right because that will help our starting pitching problem. Seriously Harper should be the LAST player they sign.
I'm up here in Boston with my Boston colleagues on business. They love Eovaldi. Pretty hard to take!
