11 hours ago11 hr "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 MurphyIf 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.yahoo.com/sports Edited 11 hours ago11 hr by caulfield12
10 hours ago10 hr 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***Past 13 teams to start WS up 2-0 have gone on to win it all***

As it is, both games were 1-run wins and not blowouts by Milwaukee. While the Sox had a great comeback season, the Rays are far ahead of us despite falling 0-2 so far in the WS.

Colson and Chase are as good as it gets defensively up the middle. Mune is underrated defensively at 1st base. But Sammy can also be course corrected late in a game.
