After a day entirely free of post-season baseball, courtesy of the terminally-inept Milwaukee Brewers, we get back on track with Game #6 in the American League Championship Series. This has now gone back up to Canada, with the Blue Jays hoping to stave off elimination, and trigger a winner-takes-all Game 7 tomorrow night. TBS must […]
We know the Los Angeles Dodgers are headed back to the World Series on the NL side after holding the Milwaukee Brewers to just four runs and 14 hits in four games. And, of course, that was punctuated by Shohei Ohtani’s once-in-a-lifetime 10-strikeout/three-homer game on Friday night to punch their ticket. Geno Suárez also hit […]
I’ve been thinking about how to start this article for two days, but all of my thoughts can succinctly be distilled into two words. That sucked. The 2025 regular season was filled with excitement and hope that the Brewers would finally return to the World Series for the first time since 1982. Those aspirations were […]
This year’s NLCS series between Milwaukee and Los Angeles elicited plenty of attention, but not only because the Dodgers were in it. While casual fans and international viewers love Shohei Ohtani, everyone outside the Dodgers fanbase cheered for David to defeat Goliath, another issue came to light: The salary mismatch between these two teams, and […]
The Milwaukee Brewers’ 2025 season met an ignominious end on Friday night. It was a disappointing way for the year to come to a close and exposed some of the lingering questions about this iteration of the Brewers as they move forward, but this was also an excellent season for a team with a lot […]
The Dodgers are back in the World Series to defend the title they won last year after sweeping the Brewers out of the NLCS, but while they wait to see which of the Mariners and Blue Jays will emerge from the ALCS to challenge them for the commissioner’s trophy it appears their front office has…
The Brewers hold an $8MM club option on Freddy Peralta’s services for 2026, which represents the team’s last bit of control from what was initially a five-year, $15.5MM extension signed by the right-hander back in February 2020. With Peralta now slated for free agency during the 2026-27 offseason, it is possible he has already thrown…
Good morning, LSB. Not seeing any Rangers news out there this morning, but there’s plenty on Shohei Ohtani playing perhaps the greatest game in baseball history last night as the Dodgers clinched another World Series berth against the Brewers. Aaaand the Mariners are a win away from a pennant of their very own. So there’s […]
The Dodgers trounced their way to the pennant last night, led by Shohei Ohtani showing why he is the greatest player to ever play this game. The Brewers and their fun loving brand of baseball didn’t have an answer for anything the Dodgers threw at them, looking feeble, overmatched and not allowed on the same […]
The Dodgers are going back to the World Series to defend their crown, sweeping the Brewers in the most one-sided series of this postseason and indeed the last few. About 1,000 miles north, the Mariners snagged a win at home to put them one victory away from their first World Series appearance in franchise history. […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers finished off the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night at Dodger Stadium, completing the second four-game sweep in franchise history. That earned the Dodgers a return trip to the World Series, the first defending champion since 2009 to make it back to the Fall Classic. The Dodgers don’t yet know who […]
We may have witnessed – in Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS – the greatest performance in a major league baseball game by a single player. Shohei Ohtani won the MVP award (after being introduced as "the greatest baseball player on the planet") largely because of his unprecedented performance in the Dodgers' pennant-winning 5-1 victory on Friday night in Los Angeles, finishing off a dominating sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers (who had won all six of the games the two teams played d...
LOS ANGELES — Dodgers pitching dominated the 2025 National League Championship Series, but in Game 4 the offense picked up the slack as well. Shohei Ohtani was the driving force for both on Friday, leading a 5-1 win over the Brewers that sent the Dodgers back to the World Series. Ohtani hit three home runs […]
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers came into tonight’s game trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 in the National League Championship Series. Players and fans alike knew that if the Brewers were going to come back, it would be a historic event. Well, the Brewers and their fans did see history tonight, but unfortunately, it came […]
Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodges/Toronto Blue Jays Seattle Mariners – A LCS Game thread for October 17, 2025
Well, here we are. The Milwaukee Brewers are mired in one of the worst offensive slumps in the 57-year history of their franchise. This would be a problem if it occurred in June, but when it happens in October, it’s a disaster. Milwaukee has managed one run in each of the three games of this […]
Is it the beginning of the end? It could be the end for Milwaukee, who have been as useless in the NLCS as… Well, insert your own simile of choice there. As noted in the Gameday Thread, they have a shot at setting a new record for the fewest runs scored in the Championship Series […]

All four remaining teams left play tonight but it could be the final time this season as the Los Angeles Dodgers could clinch their series with a win tonight, which would be a sweep of the NL’s #1 seeded Milwaukee Brewers. Meanwhile in the AL the Blue Jays have fought back on unfriendly turf to […]

The Dodgers are on the cusp of their second straight World Series after defeating the Brewers in Game 3. No National League team has ever come back from a three games to none deficit to win a best-of-seven series. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays blew out the Mariners for the second straight night, so that series […]
Happy Friday. We have an earlier start time today, 6:00 Eastern. The Brewers and Dodgers start at 8:30 Eastern. One of the talking heads on TV this morning, said, that “Momentum is a real thing in playoff baseball.” I’m thinking ‘didn’t the Mariners win the first two games of the series in a very convincing […]
In the ever changing world of Minor League Prospect rankings, future Card JJ Wetherholt is now the No. 5 overall prospect and new President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom seemed pretty adamant that Wetherholt will get a chance to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster once camp begins. “He’s impressive and he’s got […]
Snell and Yamamoto dominated the Brewers by pulling a few strings.

Here are three things we’ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world headed into the weekend: 1. NLCS nearing conclusion? The Dodgers won their first home game of the NLCS last night, giving them a 3-0 lead over the Brewers that’s begun to look insurmountable. Milwaukee will now enter tonight fighting for their…
