World Series Game 2:October 29th, 2022
Milwaukee Brewers -
Texas Rangers @ Globe Life Park
MIL: SP
Zach Davies(R, 2-1 4.42)
TEX: SP
Nick Lodolo(L, 2-0 2.25)
The biggest stage of his young career for
Nicky! He looked a bit nervous before the came as I was told from our coaching staff... and it showed when young center fielder
Carlos David Rodriguez singled up the middle(lineup change... someone is getting nervous...) and today's 3B
Lucas Erceg walked to start the game...
And
Nicky got a visit by his young catcher, took a deep breath... fanned the next two batters and got
Hiura to bounce into a FC at second... and so the pitcher's duel began.
Davies was completely fooling us in the early going, collecting groundballs... and strikeouts... and got the lead when
Hiura walked and former Astros veteran
Robbie Grossman doubled in the fourth...
JW took a mighty hack and tied it up at one with a cute little home run, but it became clear that while
Nicky wasn't doing too bad... that he will be on the ropes in or after the sixth... and his game was over after six innings of 2-hit, 1-run, 3BB and 10K ball on 90 pitches...
By that time,
JW had already found two on with two out and grounded out softy... and another chance was wasted by us in the sixth when we failed to bring home a 1-out
Bradley double...
Now, we had gotten a trio of good outings from
Brian Adcock, right? So, we could trust him to retire the bottom of their order, right? A
Corey Ray 2-run jack later,
Adcock was placed in the trade block in the middle of a World Series, and the Brewers were up 3-1...
And our lefties plainly sucked the life out of this ballpark, franchise, and city as
Alex Claudio yielded two additional runs in the ninth and so,
Hansel Moreno's solo shot had no impact on the actual result anymore...

Logan stopped whispering today when I glued his lips together and left the suite to strangle
Adcock to near death. We just got the minimum... some home run power today... and you obviously need stellar pitching if you can only score two runs... see you at Miller Park...
