I’m excited to see how many Brewer Fans are in that stadium tonight. Excited for game 3! Here we go crew!

They're sitting Aranda???

Left on Left. I imagine he comes in after Gasser leaves the game.

Would be hilarious to do gasser for 1 inning then bring in May and once they put all their lefties in then drohan for inning 3 and on and just fuck up their lineup and PH options for later

Didn’t Counsell do something like that with Wade Miley?

Unless we keep the lefty pen pumpin

8. u/Stang1776 · 2026-10-26 21:52 UTC

And Hicks

9. u/Various-Idea5953 · 2026-10-26 20:56 UTC

Yep don’t rlly know how to feel about it 😭✌️

Plus he played a horrible game on defense in game 2. Costs the rays a few runs

11. u/airpab1 · 2026-10-26 21:54 UTC

Mind boggling? Are they just trying to go down 0–3?

12. u/clownparade · 2026-10-26 22:06 UTC

They keep talking about playing the long series meanwhile dropping games

13. u/Dizzy-Sea-113 · 2026-10-26 21:03 UTC

I don’t think “bold” is a strong enough word for sitting Aranda when the rest of our lineup against lefties is looking not so great…..

14. u/OrganicValley_ · 2026-10-26 21:10 UTC

I’d argue that he’s been the Rays best hitter so far

15. u/WholeWhiteBread · 2026-10-26 23:10 UTC

And you’d be arguing with nobody because he has been on based 5/8 times in this World Series. I trust cash but this is silly analytics.

16. u/OrganicValley_ · 2026-10-26 23:18 UTC

I don’t hate giving Vilade a couple at bats against Gasser if he’s better defender than Aranda. That being said, taking your hottest hitter out of the lineup down 2 games is questionable.

Hearts already pounding. Ugh.

18. u/cletus1986 · 2026-10-26 21:36 UTC

Benching the only guy who's hitting consistently so we can start another guy with one hit this postseason while we're already down 0-2 is certainly a choice.

19. u/WearyAir9260 · 2026-10-26 21:20 UTC

The Rays are batting BEN WILLIAMSON fifth in their order. They are so cooked.

20. u/RabidR00ster · 2026-10-26 21:30 UTC

I really have no idea how they won almost 100 games with only 3 good hitters.
