The Crew sort of reminded me of the 06 Series Tigers tonight. It would have been a very different game without those 4 errors. But, hey, a win is a win.

What I can't figure out is the bullpen. Tony has been quick with the hook throughout the NLCS. Is the bullpen just better than I thought? Or, has Tony just figured out how to use them against the Brewers? Or, maybe having Duncan back makes the difference?

I watch a lot of MLB Network and Harold Reynolds always impresses me with his pitcher v. batter matchup analysis. Tonight, he looked at Dotel v. Braun. When Dotel last faced him, in Game 3 I think, he got him on a diet of curve balls. Tonight, Braun didn't see a curve ball until the last one for strike 3 ... he hung that one but Braun couldn't connect. Love that cat and mouse strategy stuff. But, it tells me something about game preparation with the bullpen.
