Game Thread NLCS Game 5 Wednesday 10/17/18, 5:05 pm

Miley vs. Kershaw

If the Brewers can take this game I believe they'll take the series. This National League Series overall has been better played than the AL.

,,,,,^^^^

Seems to me more often than not over the decades, the ALCS and NLCS are closer in competitiveness and score, and harder fought games. Although that is not always the case.

Isn't it ironic how many do not remember who lost the World Series, and even more who played in the LCS's.

Although that is not the case with the members of this board; it seems to be true with the general public or should I say the fair weather fans of Southern California....

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I will be lucky to see any of either game tonight. Dad's being transported from the Hospital to a Convalescent....
still in critical condition...

Pulling for the Brew Crew. With the exception of their ace reliever, Hader, this is one professional staff
that most sports fans have never heard (of).

If Kershaw is in past demonstrated post season form and bolos this game he'll have his opt out decision ready made.

Me too.

 

[cagedlion]

Woodruff pitches out 1st inning jam by making Machado hit into inning ending DP.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Looks like the Milwaukee Offense has gone into a major slump since the NLCS started. Aguilar strands 3 more by striking out with the bases juiced.

 

[cagedlion]

Opportunity missed for Brew Crew. Bases stranded. Got to make hay with men on base!
Will it come back and bite them?

 

[cagedlion]

Brewer bats not making “hit” contacts; Bums matching them in this 1-1 contest.

 

[cagedlion]

Craig Counsell left Woodruff in too long. Will cost team a victory.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Looks like this game is going down the shitter for Milwaukee.

 

[cagedlion]

Looks like Dodgers will take 3-2 lead in series going back to Milwaukee. Brewer hitters need to focus
better in order to win this thing called the NLCS.

 

[cagedlion]

If I were Counsell, I would not use Soria anymore this series; besides, next game the Dodgers may well be
their Waterloo!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

The MLB Crew was saying last night the Bums are built 4A long haul series & Brewers needed to Win in a short series.

I used to like Nachado until he came to LA.
CANT STAND HIS ASS NOW.

Bums will NOT need Manny once Seager returns next year, tho LA has a thing 4 dudes named Manny....
I hope 2 hell our Yanx do NOT even give the POS a look...Fk Machito...mashito...
