Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Thursday, October 3rd. Derek and Ryper, Inoceris here with you on this episode. We discuss a game three. Only one game three in the wild card round.

It's coming from the Mets Brewer Series.

We'll talk about how we got here and what we expect to see on Thursday night in a standalone game.

We got three teams sent packing on Wednesday, three teams advancing into the division series round.

So we have a full division series episode coming out on Friday. So today is going to be a lot about game three between the

Mets and Brewers. It's going to be a little bit about the teams that were sent packing on

Wednesday. What's next for them in the offseason? And a little bit of discussion about this wild card round format, because now we're at the point, you know, we have seen 11 out of the 12 wildcard series that have been played since 2022 and where the first team winning wins the entire series, right?

And that could still happen. The Mets could end up doing it in three games. So it's been a tough road in these last three seasons combined. If you lost game one,

we'll see if the Brewers can buck that trend. If you go back to 2020, we had expanded playoffs.

In that shortened season, there were some three game series that year. Two teams that lost

game one actually advanced through the wild card round.

So we'll talk about that a little bit later on in the show.

If you'd like to join our Discord, the link is in the show description, lots of conversation around these games happening there.

Let's begin in Milwaukee.

Jackson Shurio did some Babe Ruth stuff.

Homered twice to tie the game.

Babe Ruth's the last player to do that in a playoff game.

Jackson Churio did it last night.

It was a wild ride.

How did we get here?

Well, another pretty good wee factor.

This Mets team plays some pretty exciting games, man.
