Dodgers to discuss sitting Ohtani for NLCS Game 3 (report)
MILWAUKEE -- Shohei Ohtani has not performed to his capabilities for more than two months. With the Dodgers down 0-2 in the NL Championship Series following a 7-4 loss to the Brewers on Monday, they w...

Patrick Bailey's 436-foot home run is the longest homer of his career. Since July, Bailey is rocking a .791 OPS with 10 home runs. With his elite defense, that's basically a superstar-level player.

Woah. Patrick Bailey ties things up with a solo home run against Drew Rasmussen in the seventh inning.

The Brewers lead 2-0 in the NLCS. Milwaukee's bullpen dominated with five scoreless innings and seven strikeouts. And the Brewers bats were very much awake.

Brent Maguire @bmags94.bsky.social · 6h
Foster Griffin ain't fooling anyone. Yandy Díaz smoked a 114.6 mph double to lead off the inning and Junior Caminero drove him in with a single that left his bat at 111.2 mph. Rays up 1-0.

William Contreras is the fourth player with three separate game-tying or go-ahead RBI hits in a postseason game, joining: Sandy Alomar Jr. (G4 of 1997 ALCS) Steve Garvey (G4 of 1984 NLCS) George Brett (G3 of 1978 ALCS) h/t @EliasSports

William Contreras delivers again. His third hit of the game is an RBI single to give Milwaukee the lead in the 6th inning.

And we are tied again after William Contreras crushes a solo homer to center field. Wild game so far.

Brutal day for Logan Henderson throwing the ball to first base. His second error of the game allows the tying run to score in the fifth inning and his day is over.

And Yamamoto is done after 75 pitches. He only recorded eight outs. The Brewers offense was absolutely relentless making him work.

Wow. Christian Yelich immediately follows Jake Bauers' 12-pitch walk with a go-ahead two-run single. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is at 75 pitches (and counting) in the third inning.

Logan Henderson then immediately threw a ball away on a pickoff attempt to allow a run to score. Bizarre game so far!

Great snag from Sal Frelick on a tricky ball that he initially got a bad read on. That could've really blown this inning open.

This is a great piece from Adam Berry about the Junior Caminero trade. www.mlb.com/news/junior-...

5 years after Rays stole Caminero from Guards, the question remains: HOW?

Wow it looks like we’ll get a Gavin Williams-Nick Martinez matchup in Game 3. It’d be hard to find a different skill set of pitchers that have both had excellent seasons. Hell yeah.

Brent Maguire @bmags94.bsky.social · 14h
Yeah, I’m thinking more in the 285-290 range, which is still pretty remarkable!

Brent Maguire @bmags94.bsky.social · 14h
Gavin Williams is at 272 strikeouts (and counting) between the regular season and postseason. There’s a non-zero chance he reaches 300 combined strikeouts this season and that’s blowing my mind a bit.

Brent Maguire @bmags94.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
The Brewers threw 64 pitches at 99+ mph in tonight's game. It was the 11th time this season (regular+PS) that Milwaukee has clocked 99+ mph 60+ times in a game. No other team has done that in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008).

#Balk Rules
1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that.
1a.A balk is when you
1b. Okay well listen. A balk iS when you balk the
1c. Let me start over
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm-gonna get ya! l'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that
1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(i). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic..
1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of
2) Do not do a balk please.

The Dodgers only scoring one run despite having five runners reach base in the first two innings against Misiorowski might come back to bite them

Dodgers already have three hits against 100+ mph pitches from Misiorowski, which has only happened five other times in his career (his career high is five in a game)
