I can already hear Mixtape Senior Contributor Flobo Boyce yelling, “I told you so, Cheats!” And the truth is, he did. The Brew Crew is one win away from not just their first World Series Championship, but also a truly dominant MLB season that has honestly flown way too far under the radar for them to be this good.
The Brewers destroyed the Rays 10-1 in a must-win game for the Rays. They sealed the victory in the 5th inning with a two-out, seven-hit, eight-run rally that really ended any hope for the Rays to win the game - and maybe the series.
The Brewers’ starter Robert Gasser pitched six shutout innings, lowering his postseason ERA to 0.60 over 15 innings. His teammates call him Bobby Gas, and he has been in rare form all postseason.
Gasser, 27, a 2021 second-round draft pick from the University of Houston, was 5-5 in the regular season, but has elevated every phase of his game in the postseason. Last night, he became the first lefty to face the minimum over at least six innings of a World Series since Sandy Koufax in 1965.
Jackson Chourio had another tremendous game. He paced the Brewers with four hits, 1 RBI, 2 R, 1 SB.
The 22-year-old Venezuelan is batting 286/308/429 this postseason with 2 home runs and 9 RBIs. In closing, I have to give a nod to the Brewers fans.
They showed up and showed out at the Trop. The TV broadcast said it was cheaper to fly to Florida, get a hotel, and buy a ticket at the Trop than to go to American Family Field.
If that is true, that is unbelievable, but given the number of Brewers fans at the game, I wouldn’t doubt it. Game 4 is tonight at the Trop.
Will this be the end of a magical season for Milwaukee?
