Ian Kennedy. God you suck at this.

Put a jersey on!

 

And blame MLB.com

Joe West & Co umping this series. Sorry Brewers and DBacks.

This is the series I'm most excited about...

Going to game 1 Saturday. Will be my first playoff game, pretty excited.

Aaron Hill's numbers look like they snapped back to normal near-all-star level once he went to Arizona from Torotno.

 

Wonder what's going on with the hitters/hitting coaches up there in Canada where a guy like Hill struggles there then hits .315 once he leaves.

Don Baylor fainted yesterday, spent the night in the hospital, but is on the bench today.

 

Exciting first inning. Ryan Braun guns down Bloomquist at the plate.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not.

If nothing else I was trying to bait you.

 

Seriously though...Torotno OPS....584. Arizona OPS, .878. That'd be like taking our Adam Dunn, trading him, and having him instantly turn into the old Adam Dunn.

I know it's early. But it looks like we're in for another pitching-dominated postseason.

Hm. Not sure about pitching to Prince in that situation.

At least with Ian Kennedy still in and Fielder with a .200 point higher OPS against righties.

Where the hell did John Axford come from? Nobody knew this dude existed 18 months ago. Again, another reason I refuse to accept Chris Sale settling in as a reliever/closer long-term as anything but failure.

Pitching in the independent leagues, then the Yankees had him and released him.

Definitely. The average score today was 8-4.

It was a stupid, stupid move. Supposedly Kennedy has too much pride to intentionally walk anyone but that's about as obvious of an ibb situation as you'll ever see.

That ball went a long way.

Greinke being pounded.

I'm glad the other game ended so that I could see that swing by Justin Upton. That was pleasant to view.

I heart Ryan Braun. Best hitter in the game.

Ryan Braun and Justin Upton are both absolute joys to watch play baseball.

Kelly Johnson had a similar turnaround, but for the other team. Sample size.

I really want the Brewers to be in the World Series.. I just like the way they are built...
