POSTSEASON PLUSHDAMENTALS! Brewers Advance To NLCS On Nyjer Morgan Walkoff Single

PrintW: John Axford (1-0)
L: J.J. Putz (0-1)
HR: Justin Upton (1)
MVP: Nyjer Morgan (+.374)
LVP: Jonathan Lucroy (-.130)
Win Expectancy Graph and Star of the Game Voting
Of course it was Nyjer Morgan. Who else could it have been?
The Brewers bit, scratched and clawed their way to a 2-1 lead heading into the ninth and handed the ball to John Axford, who hadn't blown a save since April. He allowed a leadoff double to Gerardo Parra (his first hit of the series), a single to Sean Burroughs and a squeeze bunt that brought Parra home without an out. He escaped the inning without further damage, but the Brewers went down in order in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extra frames.
But the Brewers didn't need long to finish it. Carlos Gomez singled with one out in the tenth, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on Nyjer Morgan's walkoff single.
The blown save took some of the luster off an all-time great Brewer moment for Yuniesky Betancourt. The Brewers and Diamondbacks managed just one run each heading to the bottom of the sixth, when Ryan Braun led off the inning with a double and was followed on base by a Prince Fielder walk. Rickie Weeks popped up a bunt attempt and Jerry Hairston Jr flew out (on an incredible play by Chris Young in center), leaving the situation looking pretty bleak: Two outs, runners on first and second, and Yuniesky Betancourt due up. His bloop single to center scored Ryan Braun and gave the Brewers a 2-1 lead.
It wasn't his best day, but Yovani Gallardo did everything he could to keep the Brewers in today's game. He allowed a run on six hits and a pair of walks over six innings, striking out five. His only run came on a Justin Upton home run one pitch after a controversial non-strike call that would have ended the inning. He needed 112 pitches to finish six innings, but if MLB awarded a NLDS MVP award he'd almost have to win it.
For two innings, as they have so many times this season, the bullpen took it from there. Takashi Saito pitched a scoreless seventh. Francisco Rodriguez worked his way into all kinds of trouble in the eighth but struck out Paul Goldschmidt and Ryan Roberts to get out of it. Axford's blown save negated their efforts a bit, but they're still worth acknowledging.
The Brewers will open NLCS play on Sunday at 3 pm. They'll play the winner of tonight's Cardinals/Phillies game, either in Milwaukee or Philadelphia.

This showed why Ax has that "something"
After the first pitch is smoked for a double, the second batter gorks one to left for a single, and the third batter bunts for a hit (after Prince got a horrible jump charging the bunt)….he goes strikeout, groundout (to Upton), groundout. AND comes back with a clean 10th.

I give Ron Roenicke all the credit in the world...
… for putting Ax back out there in the 10th. He is the best we have and it restores any lost confidence in the meantime.

Oh for sure there are a ton of Packer fans, actually two of the biggest bars by the U of M campus are Packer bars. I’ve seen way more people repping the Brewers the last few years though (I think it correlates a lot with people being in middle or high school when Braun, Fielder, Weeks, etc came up).
There are absolutely as many Packer fans here

I got tickets with a pair of friends and my girlfriend. At about 1:30pm I got terrible pains in my
Kidney and Bladder area. The doctors said last weekend I didn’t have an infection so odds are its a Kidney stone… apparently those can take a few weeks sometimes even months to work their way out…
I was going in and out of pain but rather than miss another brewers game (I went to urgent care last sat and missed most of the good part of the game on tv) I took painkillers and went to this game… BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god its ridiculous… ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh T-PLUSH I LOVE YOU, YUNI I LOVE YOU, GOMEZ I LOVE YOU!!!
There really was an interesting mix of fans in my section (419). We had several fans who remembered the 80s and suffered all since then. Then we had me and my friends and a few others who only knew losing baseball because we grew up in the 90s and 2000s. I gotta say I really loved the interaction with all of them. WAYYYYYYY better than a regular season game because (probably due to the higher ticket prices) the idiots didn’t seem to be at the game… at least not where I was.

I got 2 tickets to this game but hoped it didnt happen all week long
I had a deep feeling of dread all day going into the game, but for the record, I had that same feeling before all of the Packer playoff games last year. Long story short; my wife and I enjoyed the greatest sports moment of our life with our youngest daughter (1 year old). When Gomez scored the winning run and they dropped the confetti, I hugged my little Brewer fan and just about started bawling, but was able to keep it together, but then I looked over at my lovely wife and I saw tears in her eyes too, at that point I just lost it!

Anyone see Buster Olney's Tweet about Nyjer Morgan?
“hope that someday, some pitcher runs around the infield with his arms extended after striking out Nyjer Morgan to start an inning.”
Don’t know how I feel about it. I think it was while the game was still on.
I'm Ron Burgundy?
Meh
It was a pretty unfair – Morgan wasn’t “running around the infield,” he was running over to the first base coach to hand him his elbow pads, like he always does.
But whatever. Hitters have been making gestures to the dugout after big hits for years, and pitchers like Valverde already show up all the hitters they strike out, so anyone who takes particular offense to Beast Mode is just being willfully ignorant.

I still can't understand people's issues with celebrating with your teammates.
I can understand if they were making gestures or sounds at the pitcher or opposing dugout. This is ridiculous. After all, it’s something born out of Prince celebrating with his kids. Ease up.
Sheesh.
Yuni'd.
How dare you?!
Prince is a fine man(and could be playing on the east coast next year), and would never be the culprit behind something as base as “Beast Mode.”
