It's also true that the Brewers have had terrible batted balls luck as well. Pretty much a perfect storm
“As good as the Los Angeles rotation has been, Milwaukee is sporting a .137 BABIP despite a respectable 43.3% hard-hit rate.”
For the BABIP uninitiated, .300 is league average.

So, I think many of us Brewers fans assumed that we were probably making this offensive stretch worse in our heads than it's been in reality. Turns out, these past six games have been the worst six game stretch of hitting (batting average) in the history the MLB postseason. lol
Lowest Batting Averages, Any Span of 6 Postseason Games in MLB History:
2025 Brewers, .140
2022 Yankees, .155
2012 Yankees, .161
2017 Cubs, .162
2013 Cardinals, .163
2022 Phillies, .163
2017 Astros, .166
2020 Rays, .168

I knew Chourio was having bad luck on batted balls in this series. I did not realize how much that's affected William Contreras as well.
Feels like this about sums up the NLCS: No player in the series has more balls hit 100+ mph than Jackson Chourio and William Contreras. They’re a combined 1 for 8 on those swings, and 0 for 7 on balls in play.

Our economy is almost certainly in a recession already. Data points like this are demonstrating just how bad things could get.
Over 50% of all economic spending is coming from the top 1% as well.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

Let’s open our eyes. This isn’t a functioning democracy any longer when - in the middle of a high stakes funding fight - the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition.

It's worth noting that the Republicans control all three branches of government and the Dems literally couldn't pass a CR on their own. So anyone who writes anything about Dems being responsible is not only lying, they're doing it in service to this administration.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

I'm annoyed with elected dems too, but can we direct this at Republicans as well? After all, they're the ones who saved him after 1/6 and are the biggest reason why this is happening.
If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

There's really not anything else left to say at this point other than everyone in this country needs to oppose this.
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

So, Trump and the GOP want to shut the government down as an excuse to permanently alter Social Security and Medicare?
👀 Just Now -- President Trump in the Oval Office said a government shutdown gives his administration the power to cut benefit programs, which include Social Security and Medicare.

He illegally sent federal forces into DC to try and provoke a reaction that would give them cover to push further. It didn't work.
Now, he's targeting Portland for the same reason. The people of this country will not stand for this.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

If you needed any further proof that this administration never cared about just targeting "criminals" for deportation, here's the data that proves it.
🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record.
As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

We should leave the UN because an escalator stopped working and our out of shape President had to walk instead. You literally cannot make this shit up. These are the most fragile, weak losers I have ever seen.
Rep. Greg Steube: "Thankfully the first lady and the president had their hands on the rails that were going up the escalator, or they likely would've fallen down and injured themselves. It seems to be intentional ... I don't know why we're still part of the UN."
