The Workd Series, the World Series. Whatever. 110 wins. 4 more to go.

There is a tremendous Brewers community on here, and I’ve had so much fun hanging out with you all. They made the damn Workd Series, friends. The Brewers are in the World Series!

The Brewers desperately needed insurance to avoid Ohtani coming up in the 9th as the potential winning run. David Hamilton turns on one for a no-doubter against Edwin Diaz. Totally bonkers.

Book of Revelations shit. A David Hamilton homer?! I’ve just about seen it all now.

He’s a good kid. Bright future for that young man.

The way this game started, we’ve all seen it a million times, right? Some nights you know aren’t yours, and yet, here we are.

I really don’t, Joe. This is the all-time uncharted sports territory of my life.

I do not know how to react to this anymore. The most incredible Brewers team I’ve ever seen.

Didn’t even move on the couch. That guy in the bleachers caught it and I dropped my head a bit, whispered “Unbelievable” under my breath and sat staring at the screen.

Star trade deadline addition Jojo Romero with a terrific inning of middle relief for the Brewers.

I hadn’t thought about that post in a while, and then remembered it right after he crossed home plate last night. Not many guys in my life have paid off the hope like that.

Thank you, Will Smith, for having visions of three-run homers in your head and letting our Brewers off the hook.

Need to dump this thought from earlier before the day ends ... HELOC but for World Series tickets. It crossed my mind.

I somehow missed a ton of replies to this in the Bauers frenzy last night. Anyway, just to be clear, I was not on that flight. Go Brewers.

I joked with my friend that he'd have to sell a kidney to get tickets. I didn't realize that wasn't actually a joke.

021

They could even paint little boxes against the wall. "You must stay inside this area" sort of thing.

120

I'm 5' 11" and willing to endure long waits, go in at gates open and take my chances, but I've always done that with a buddy in the postseason. I just don't have the bladder for it on my own lol.

030

It's just tough to be on the cusp of an actual World Series and realize if this lifelong dream comes true, there's no way to make it happen in person.

Haha, true. My neighbor had an extra at face for Game 1 against the Dodgers and that felt like such a steal that it almost seemed free, honestly. I'm very lucky to have seen one this year. I've been to multiple playoff games over the last 15 years. ...

$1,322 for SRO. Only chance of seeing the game as a single is to be in line for hours before gates open, run to a clear spot immediately and not move ever. You'd have to probably do 6 or 7 hours of standing and not using the bathroom or going to concessions. Insane.

We welcome all Boogie Nights-adjacent Brewers thoughts on this timeline.

Plasma was very, very good to me at one time. Stick the needle in, nurse. I've got some Brewers games to get to!

Jim Kogutkiewicz @jimmyfk.bsky.social · 16h

Saw Branyan come up as a pinch-hitter once in the bottom of the 9th with two outs. Yost was like, "OK, hit a homer or we lose. No pressure." Dude put it over the Toyota truck. One of the greatest in-person moments I've ever had at Miller Park.

Gift link to my sidebar from last night, which is about Blake Snell pitching the game of his life for six innings, unfortunately bookended by the first three home runs he'd allowed all year

blogs.fangraphs.com

This Is Why Kevin Cash Pulled Blake Snell

Faced with the flip side of the dilemma that had won him the 2020 World Series, Dave Roberts followed the same logic that so many had wanted his counterpart to see six years ago.

I got in twice. After seeing the prices the first time, I knew I couldn't afford it, but I went back in a second time to check out what SRO was. $1,322 to stand by myself for a potential Game 6. Just can't do it.

Jim Kogutkiewicz @jimmyfk.bsky.social · 17h

I was hoping to find something I could talk myself into so my mom and I could go. She can't navigate the 400 level anymore, it's just too much walking and stairs, but she can handle Loge and Club. But $3,000 a seat ... damn. Even $1,500 is stupid, but I can lie to myself good lol.

Jim Kogutkiewicz @jimmyfk.bsky.social · 17h

$6,055 face value for two seats in the Loge — 215, row 14. Just gonna look at them in my cart for a few more seconds before I close the browser.

Where are you seeing that?

Jim Kogutkiewicz @jimmyfk.bsky.social · 18h

My heart sink once I saw it was this virtual waiting room thing with the automatic refresh.

010

Jim Kogutkiewicz @jimmyfk.bsky.social · 18h

This doesn't feel promising.

A screen for an online waiting room to buy Brewers tickets for the World Series, should they qualify for participation. It is a long message saying the screen will automatically refresh in 15 seconds. If I don't get in, it will keep refreshing until I do or until all tickets are sold out.

Totally. And I love insane ideas. My thinking was “Could I be at game 4, close to the Brewers dugout, for less than the cheapest World Series ticket?” Seeing that it is actually possible … haha, keep the AMEX away from me for my own good.

lol … I don’t got this, but the allure was strong enough to run the numbers. It’s awfully tempting, ain’t it?

$605 nonstop tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. from O’Hare to LAX, land at 1 o’clock local time. First pitch tomorrow is at 5. Plenty of time. Field level near the Brewers dugout is $292 on StubHub.

In section 106 tonight, a 45-minute drive from home, was a man wearing his lucky Jake Bauers shirt. Stu Bauers has worn his son’s t-shirt the last four Brewers games. They are 4-0. It hasn’t been washed yet and at this rate it may never be.

Trust in Murph, but he better have Ashby ready to go for Freeman in the 9th if Freddie ends up being the tying or go-ahead run.

If you heard someone on a bike yelling JAKE FUCKING BAUERS while riding down Washington Boulevard, that was me!

Yeah, sorry. I phrased my reply to you poorly. Anyway, screw Snell, screw Dave Roberts and screw the Dodgers. Let's see this out, brother.

020

lol ... I was just hoping they could get to the bullpen by the 8th.

010

Hall holding it at a one-run deficit kept Snell scared to have Yeli steal, and he finished that at-bat to Bauers just trying to get it over instead of how he'd been all night. And then Snell was so shook, Mitchell sucker punched him while he was still seeing stars.

2482

True, but Snell filled his diaper the second Yelich came in to pinch run.
