Moosetrot

Its an OLD joke.

Not looking so good right now, down 5-1

I'm still trying to figure out why the Brewers pulled their ace. All day I've been looking forward to Chacin pitching.

Seems Puig made up for his terrible defense. I wouldn't rest easy yet though if I was Dodgers fan. Still a lot of ballgame left!

I think the pitching game tonight has been over-coached by the Brewers. Too much figuring on what might happen.

Moosetrot

Very accurate statement.

I guess if the batters don't do something, then it won't matter though.

Come on brewers

Woodruff and Burns should have pitched more innings.

Bryce

Well Brewers fans...there is plenty of room on the Red Sox band wagon....jump on board ,and hate on the Dodgers.

Well, it was a good run. They got a lot farther than I had expected.

Moosetrot

Good point Moose

I never expected La to win, especially in Milwaukee.


Now ,,, they need to beat the Red Sox, so I can taunt the Red Sox fans I know.

I’m in. Go Bosox!

We did not win and that seems to all that matters in the modern age, but as you can see below we did very well when you compare our team salary with all the rest of the major league teams.

As to supporting the Red Sox. They are good but I am a national league fan and enjoy the type of baseball played in the NL more.
With the DH the American league averages a whole .02 points higher than the NL in team batting average and drive in only 25 more runs per team over 162 games. That to me does not add very much excitement to the game and takes away a lot of the managing of the game as it is played. The one thing it probably does do is helps AL starting pitchers pitch more innings and get more strikeouts etc. Pitchers are really only removed for pitching strategy and not also due to the need to have a better hitter at the plate in a specific situation.

NL is the easy league....Pitchers only have to worry about 8 hitters ....lots of easy outs.

The American league pitchers will be the easiest outs of all, probably can't even bunt.

Yup...they are paid to pitch..and that’s it. Why pay a pitcher 30 million a year and have him throw his shoulder out,swinging a bat. This isn’t little league .

NL pitchers are not babies that get someone to hit for them.

Lester is probably glad to be out of the American league where he was babied.
