GDT: 2018 NLC Tiebreaker Game - Brewers @ Cubs - Oct. 1st @ 1:05 PM ET, ESPN

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Baez singles and Rizzo is the tying run.

DRAMA.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

As much as I hate Baez that was a great at bat. Thought about going to second but I don't think he would have made it. Rizzo with the chance to tie it.

 

[Del Preston]

Cubs go 108 years w/o winning and guys who have been watching baseball for 2 years want to see them get knocked down a peg. Sad.

The Kbib Effect

 

[Dr Pepper]

One swing and Rizzo can be the hero again.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Brewers win the Central! AND homefield throughout NL playoffs.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Central division champs

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

It's ovah. Beautiful.

 

[Dr Pepper]

If it's any consolation to Cubs fans, at least it wasn't a do-or-die scenario and they still had a good enough record to snag a WC spot.

Agreed.

Which made this whole game feel really unusual.

This wasn’t like other do or die game 163’s (Twins-Tigers 2009, Rays-Rangers 2013).

How often are there two division tiebreaker games needed, for the same league?

Has to be prettty rare.

first times it's ever happened

Brewers win the Central! AND homefield throughout NL playoffs.

And this time, no St Louis in the way for once

and they get home field advantage for the WC game regardless of LAD/COL winning the other game.

Yep.

I mean, it'll be rough for their fans if they lose both games, but I bet they're watching LA/COL pretty closely.

Maybe it'll go 19 innings.

 

[Reality Check]

Plus Milwaukee is lovably known as Cubs North.

I'm sure Chicago would have wanted to win and tomorrow is certainly a must win. But I think they're still in a pretty good spot here.

That game meant more to Milwaukee on the confidence scale. As MLB network stated yesterday it's probably best not to go all out for it today.

Plus Milwaukee is lovably known as Cubs West.

If anybody says this, they need a geography lesson. And a kick in the balls.

May want to look at a map, lol.

how much crow you eating on the Yelich trade and Cain signing?

 

[Terry Yake]

anyone seen kbib?

All apologies.

The main point still stands however and it's been that way long before the Cubs won the World Series.

 

[Tecumseh]

anyone seen kbib?

You know that kbib is never willing to take the heat when the Cubs lose.

Looking back, you could say that Milwaukee’s run to the division title really started here:



If Matt Kemp broke the DBacks, this 15 inning game ignited the Brewers
