MILWAUKEE — The bottom of the ninth inning played out slowly, methodically. It read like a hardbound textbook on how to play winning baseball, Brewers style. It was not always the most thrilling of reads, but it told the story in excruciating detail.
Taking pitches. Stealing bases. Taking the proper turn around a base. Using the bench. Boilerplate stuff as exciting as footnotes, but necessary. The cod liver oil of the baseball diet.
