The Brewers did an interesting thing during game 3 against the Dodgers. They basically took every pitch until they had two strikes to run up the pitch count of the starter. I assume they did that hoping to get to the Dodgers bullpen earlier in the game. I can see the WS going six. Anything is possible in a short series. A lucky bounce, poor defensive play or a starter who gets shelled can be the difference. The Dodgers can go into an offensive funk or their bullpen can start blowing games like they did all season. The formula has been winning on the road with starters who go six or more innings giving up less than two runs and shortening the bullpen.

Best of luck Doug, your team is a wagon, a model for all other franchises to follow, but owners being owners, they will cry poormouth and keep losing to the Dodgers.

Ohtani is a generational talent, every at bat is a must see as you don't know what he'll do next to raise the WOW factor, he's basically the face of baseball at this point, Japan must be beaming with pride.

Doug:

Echoing George, good luck.

Even though I think the Dodgers are going to win this I will be watching hoping to see some great baseball.

Fun fact for you; the Blue Jays scored more runs in the 6th inning last night than the Brewers scored in the entire NLCS.

Was the Dodgers pitching that good or were the Brewers that bad; somewhere in the middle is the truth.

That lefty stiff they brought in from the bullpen had two pitches going last night, balls and home runs.

The Dodgers' motto last night was if you are going to lose, then lose big. The Blue Jays did a great job fouling off good pitches and putting balls in play. Not many strikeouts or chasing pitches outside the zone. It put Snell in a tough spot and ran up the pitch count to get to the bullpen that got shelled. I've never heard of a single player on the Toronto team. That short, tubby guy Kirk seems like a real ballplayer, though. The Dodgers offense has been in a funk despite winning games. Their starting pitchers have carried the day.

One game does not a series make, but yes, if the Dodgers offense continues to nap, they will be in trouble.

Betts, Ohtani, Freeman all need to get hot as well.
