And Turang does it again. Ridiculous.

White Sox

Guardians

Rays

all three bullpens collapsed from overuse/reliance

Edited by caulfield12

Rays not being able to get the bunt down. They usually do that better than anyone.

Mesa came up in a different system.

Is Williamson the best bat they have off the bench?

Watching this, I don't think the gap between us and the Rays is that big. It's the little things that we need to close the gap.

More like we need at least 2 more reliable starters.

Not going to Megill is interesting. Maybe because the top of the order saw him yesterday?

He did not go. They need to automate this

Checks notes,, game 2 and the Astros series.

Yeah Yandy didn't go. But not being prepared to hit a 3-1 curveball right down the middle is really...something.

It's personal preference.

Mune Colson Vargas

vs.

Caminero Diaz Aranda

what is the faith level right now for those first two Sox hitters?

and the competition level now is a totally different animal

Checks notes

nobody can touch this MIL pen

when Megill's unavailable they still have Uribe and Ashby for high leverage

the problem is they're still 4-5 (2 starters/3 relievers) pitchers away and already spent $22-23 million on Castillo for 2027

"Relentlessness is the reciprocal of quitting, yielding, giving up. It is an aggressive, persistent, attack-mode attitude. It defines a warrior. The relentless performer gives himself intensely, entirely and constantly to competition." — the late Harvey Dorfman, legendary mental skills coach, friend and mentor of Brewers manager Pat Murphy

If you clock them in the mouth, these Milwaukee Brewers will crack their neck, swallow a few teeth and, entirely unbothered, swing right back. They are bulletproof zombies, cockroaches in baseball pants. They are also now 9-1 in October. Remarkably, the Brewers have trailed in eight of those wins, twice by four runs. 

For Murphy's club, early postseason deficits are just minor inconveniences. The Rays are learning this now as the Padres and Dodgers nod in solidarity from their couches. Each consequential Milwaukee comeback only strengthens the Brewers' united confidence, like fire forging steel. The sun will rise, the sun will set, and the 2026 Brewers will retake the lead and hold onto it.

Such is the act of relentlessness.

Game 2 star: Sal Frelick hit only four home runs during the regular season, and his last blast against a left-hander occurred on Opening Day. So when the Rays brought in lefty Ian Seymour to start the sixth inning, all the Brewers were hoping for was that Frelick would get on base. Instead, he hammered a 92 mph fastball over the center-field wall, tying the score at 4-4 and setting the stage for Cooper Pratt's go-ahead single an inning later.

The stat that defined the game: 81 foul balls. Both teams are pesky, and they were stretching at-bats deep by constantly spoiling pitches. The 81 fouls are the most in a postseason game this year. -- Jeff Passan espn.com
