While Watching the Other NLDS

[u/Mbizzy222]

I’m torn as to who I want to win between SD and Milwaukee. Can’t they both just lose?

[u/tonyrunstrails]

PADRES JUST GOT WALKED OFF

[u/Cold_Pumpkin_2744 → u/tonyrunstrails]

They don’t trust what’s gotten them there got cute sending miller out there for 2 innings and it cost them

[u/Gorignak_Clash → u/tonyrunstrails]

FTP

[u/tonyrunstrails → u/Gorignak_Clash]

FTP! LFG!

[u/Edjbart615 → u/tonyrunstrails]

HhAhahaha. Pussies

[u/O1dEquipment → u/tonyrunstrails]

WHAT

[u/interstitialmusic → u/tonyrunstrails]

Just Stammen things.

[u/frankenmaus]

Root for 5 games.

[u/NK84321 → u/frankenmaus]

That's not gonna happen now lol that was a BRUTAL loss for the Padres 

[u/MarcBulldog88 → u/NK84321]

It was fucking glorious, that's what it was.

[u/NK84321 → u/MarcBulldog88]

The first game was bad luck, this game they straight up CHOKED

On the negative side, the Brewers will have a nice and rested pitching staff now. Miz and Henderson will be ready to go with plenty of rest.

[u/webelee → u/NK84321]

Want the Pads to take game 3 just so the Brewers have to make a decision for Game 4. We will see.

[u/No-Snow-7618 → u/NK84321]

i wouldn’t even say choked, just horrendous managing BP/closing strategy and chourio having decent AB discipline

[u/Willow_Winnifred → u/NK84321]

2 heartbreakers in a row

[u/Primary_Title632 → u/NK84321]

I think padres will Take their 2 games at home

[u/BruitNoise → u/frankenmaus]

Root for 5 games and then Padres lose 10 - 0 on the 5th game while Manny Machado gets ejected and suspended for punching the umpire.

[u/Striking-County6275 → u/frankenmaus]

The correct answer! Hopefully LA can wrap this up in 4 

[u/hkyguy530 → u/Striking-County6275]

4? Do it in 3. Win today & Yama finishes it on Tuesday on the road.

Edit: Damn guess it will go 4. LoL

[u/hkyguy530 → u/hkyguy530]

Edit: Damn guess will give 4. LoL

[u/a_smart_brane → u/Striking-County6275]

Why not 3?

[u/hkyguy530 → u/a_smart_brane]

Must have tickets to Wednesday's game. /s

[u/NoCarRes → u/Striking-County6275]

Wrap in 4? How about wrap this up in 3!

[u/Material_Art797 → u/frankenmaus]

And extra innings in game 5

[u/curious_ANcuriouser → u/frankenmaus]

with the padres losing in the 5th game 😂

[u/pharout16 → u/frankenmaus]

No. I’m rooting for SD to lose 3 heartbreakers in a sweep. If we don’t win it all because Milwaukee wasn’t super spent, I’ll live w that

[u/BakingPizza]

[u/CaliforniaSun77]

Why am I stressed over a game the Dodgers aren't playing in?

[u/MarcBulldog88 → u/CaliforniaSun77]

Because we want to avoid the possibility of getting eliminated by the Padres in the NLCS, and the tsunami of idiocy from everyone else's fans that would follow.

[u/soul_doubt_66 → u/MarcBulldog88]

Correct

[u/kelement → u/MarcBulldog88]

I would rather play the padres than the brewers. The brewers are a way stronger team.

[u/BruitNoise → u/CaliforniaSun77]

Not stressed but happy that the Padres suck. I can't really say anything negative about the Brewers. I would feel better knowing that we can beat a strong team like the Brewers and it proves nothing to beat a pile of poop like the Padres.

[u/PigFarmer1 → u/CaliforniaSun77]

Beats me.

[u/Bluesmanstill → u/CaliforniaSun77]

Right??

[u/3rdPoliceman]

Brewers are the easy choice man

[u/justthekoufax → u/3rdPoliceman]

Such an easy choice. I don't hate the Brewers at all. I fucking hate the Padres.

[u/lollifetuffouthtere → u/justthekoufax]

Exactly. I’d be more upset if the Dodgers got knocked out by the Padres rather than the Brewers.

[u/spicyitallian → u/lollifetuffouthtere]

But who is the easiest matchup for the dodgers? Actually asking cuz this is my first year watching anything but the world series

[u/Salt_Driver_4537 → u/spicyitallian]

Probably the Padres. No offense to them because they are a solid team, but they have trouble driving in runs when they get runners on board. On the flip side, Brewers have a similar offensive style to the 2025 Blue Jays, and we saw how much trouble that was for the Dodgers last year. Also, Misiorowski (Brewers best starter) is genuinely terrifying.

[u/onpch1 → u/3rdPoliceman]

The Brewerrors

[u/Substantial_Judge931 → u/3rdPoliceman]

I think the Brewers are overrated. We’d beat them like we did last season

[u/3rdPoliceman → u/Substantial_Judge931]

I'd still prefer to see them win the WS than the Padres

[u/jodireneeg]

I’m watching this series and cheering hard for the Brewers.
My reasons:
1. I never want Manny Machado to win anything, EVER.
2. I’ve been to 23/30 MLB stadiums, and the fans in Milwaukee were BY FAR the coolest, and most welcoming of any place we’ve been outside of Dodger Stadium. I’m happy for them.
3. We swept them last year, I believe we can do it again.
4. F**k Manny Machado. Yes. That’s on there twice.

[u/Unlucky-Albatross-12]

LOL FRAUDRES

[u/a_smart_brane → u/Unlucky-Albatross-12]

Pobres

[u/TrinaDE76]

I’ve never screamed so hard for the Brew Crew.

[u/NaughtyxxxNasty → u/TrinaDE76]

Same! 😂😂

[u/Optimal_Chance7847 → u/TrinaDE76]

Me too! 😂😂😂

[u/Ilovebeth123 → u/TrinaDE76]

Yep!

[u/jmike1256]

MASON MILLER AND THE PADRES JUST GOT WALKED OFF!!!!!

[u/ladudee]

Gotta focus on the Braves first

[u/everythingwastakn]

Looooooooool Mason Miller is just Edwin Diaz in disguise

[u/havedarbdamlin → u/everythingwastakn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/qiFb2m5kSfyQrcXfFj

[u/Willow_Winnifred → u/everythingwastakn]

I heard them playing Edwin's song over the PA

[u/Mr_Kinton]

Brewers overall, because I don’t want the Padres to experience anything resembling hope or joy.

But I do also want them to win the next two at Petco and tire each other out.

[u/SouthPudding9949]

They gotta study how the Padres have abused Mason Miller. They left him out there to throw two innings and 40 pitches. After riding him hard all year. We did it last year with Roki but he's a defacto starter.

This was a brutal... and enjoyable way to finish the game. Oof.

[u/PurpleDirt4 → u/SouthPudding9949]

I mean you could argue miller is a starting top (he at least has been)

[u/threepwood52]

It might make it harder for us in the next round but I NEVER want to see San Diego win.

[u/dkizzz]

Holy fuck. Wow!

[u/torrd9]

FUCK THE PADRES.

[u/PostVertigo]

Brewers. Easy decision.

[u/Razor8517 → u/PostVertigo]

Very true. Their offense is poo-poo in October. Dodgers could easily beat them

[u/WakednBaked]

Let's get through the Braves first

[u/BakingPizza]

Wow

[u/freddy_a16]

dodgers gotta take care of atlanta first but damn the brewers are kinda scary and walking it off against miller solidified that.

[u/j_fish5]

2 brutal losses in a row. Hard to see them coming back from this but this is October baseball, anything can happen. Take care of our business tonight and see let the chips fall where they may.

[u/9ty0ne]

Curse of the crying kershaw meme

[u/Ravenholm_337]

Brewers have real history with L.A. padres have a 100+ win deficit against L.A.

I hate the brewers but at least they belong in the conversation. 

[u/Distinct_Physics2008]

What a way to end the Madre’s season.

[u/Worldly-Ad1005]

Ain’t no way San Diego wins 3 straight against this Brewers team.

[u/i__am__so__smrt]

What excuse are Padres fans gonna come up with today?

[u/AZman2]

That it goes five games, work the pitchers, travel exhaustion. Brewers in 5

[u/DepthEasy1507]

Los Pobres Padres🤣 What a game!

[u/Gorignak_Clash]

FTP! I want the best against us.. 😤😤😤😤😤

[u/WorkerIllustrious494]

Holy shit

[u/EntrepreneurOk666]

I want brewers. Only cause I'm tired of seeing those other bums.

[u/jaqkhuda70]

Manny Machado takes his steak well done

[u/Allupnyew → u/jaqkhuda70]

Machado likes his meat in suppository form

[u/SleepingDragonZ]

Hopefully their series go the full 5 games and extra innings.

Now I'm rooting for the Padres to take the next 2 at home.

[u/batpuppy]

Bozos

[u/Antique-Purpose-471]

Chourio's AB reminded me of Pages vs Miller in May when Andy was able to get a sac fly after a great AB.

[u/WarbossTodd]

Padres need to come back and win the next 2 at home. In extra inning, marathon games.

[u/josegofaster]

Brewers don’t quit. They are scary.

[u/Soft_Potential87]

I can find a dude I like and can root for on every team in the MLB.

Except the padres.

[u/EntrepreneurFormal35 → u/Soft_Potential87]

Walker??

[u/Optimal_Chance7847]

Chourio!!!

[u/whoisJSR]

I got chills watching that walk off

[u/pijiuman]

It's nice to see the Padres lose but I'd rather them get beaten out by us.

[u/Fernandigity]

The answer is always FUCK THE PADRES

[u/hanging_with_epstein]

Always a great day when the padres lose, especially when it's two days in a row

[u/oldchicken34]

initially i wanted the brewers to win cuz they always shit the bed against the dodgers, while the padres were hot. but now seeing how they choked 2 games away, i don't care either way. hope they go to a five game series.

[u/LolaLee723]

That was such a good game!

[u/redwbl]

I want it to go 5 Games, that’s the important thing.

[u/Spyerx]

What an inning damn. Walked off miller.

[u/Commercial_Visit8288]

The bottom ninth was insane.

[u/shewee]

I'm definitely not as fluent in either of their players/strengths, but they seem pretty well balanced in this moment. Strategically who is a better match for us?

[u/MaverickBruin]

Brewers of course. And they don’t scare me because they haven’t faced Snell or Glasnow at all this year, and they were shut down by Yoshi in two attempts (scoring one run each time). They did beat Skubal twice (one of them when he was with Tigers) but I like our odds with these four guys against their weak lineup.

[u/ComoEstanBitches]

I know Padres have a history for converting relievers into starters but Mason Miller gets gassed after 20 pitches

[u/Electronic_Screen387]

Fuck the Padres.

[u/lakergeoff8]

The Brewers were literally the best team in league, record-wise. Not saying I’m alright with losing, but if we were to lose to them, it wouldn’t be the biggest shocker. But if we lose to the Padres……..we’ll never hear the end of it. They still talk about 2022 to this day.

[u/No-Snow-7618]

nah, hope that they go to g5 and deplete each other

[u/los33ramos]

Don’t ever gamble
Why?
You’ll go with feeling and more than likely you’ll lose.

[u/dkizzz]

Seeing SD in the NLCS would be great. Got that receipt for them celebrating clinching the post on our home field. Plus, MIL is no fun we worked them last year.

[u/Exciting-Device-4474]

Padres v dodgers would be a banger

[u/bruceriv68]

That's easy. It's always great to see the Padres self destruct, and the Brewers are a likeable team.

[u/Brilliant-Emphasis43 → u/bruceriv68]

I’m with this

[u/dermieee]

That was awesome

[u/thait84]

Back to back losses in this way is definitely crippling their morale / energy

[u/Dry_Finding_1379]

You definitely want SD to lose.

[u/Ok_Hippo4997]

Torn?

[u/ComplexR22]

I want the Dodgers V Padres series

[u/Fragrant_University7 → u/ComplexR22]

Disagreed. They’d be the easier opponent, but I don’t even want them to have hope. I want them to sit at home sulking while we play.

[u/Cold_Pumpkin_2744 → u/ComplexR22]

Either team is getting clapped by us

[u/tapspacebar]

That was a great game, the kinda shit you see in a movie. Lets worry about the current task at hand though
