With World Series start, Gasser is living his dream -- and his dad's

“What a small baseball world,” Jim said on the eve of watching his son, Robert Gasser, start for the Brewers in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night at Tropicana Field, “that the team that drafted me doesn’t draft my son but picks him up in a trade, and here he is, pitching in the World Series for Milwaukee. You can’t make that stuff up.”

The basteball move so fast? When they hit ground ball and outside misses? I never thought that

Confirmed!

Those rampaging Milwaukee Brewers, who are looking like a runaway bullet train with no brake pedal, fired off a World Series inning like no other Monday. Seven straight two-out hits? … Eight straight two-out runs? … Five runs in a span of eight pitches? … Six runs in a span of 13 pitches? … Seven runs in a span of 17 pitches? … Eight runs in a span of 22 pitches?

Oh, and all of that happened after an umpire made a call (later overturned by replay) that would have ended this inning with no runs?

Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. And yep.

Trust us. There has never, ever been a World Series inning like that one. So when I walked into the Brewers’ clubhouse after their 10-1 demolition of the Tampa Bay Rays’ World Series dreams, I still felt the goosebumps from the history I’d just watched unfold.

But you know who doesn’t recognize history, even when they’re making it? Baseball players.

So did the dudes on this Brewers team have any idea of what they had just done? Let’s go with no.

THE ATHLETIC TO ROOKIE SHORTSTOP COOPER PRATT: “Have you ever been part of an inning like that?”

PRATT: “Yeah, I think everyone has been part of an inning something like that. It’s just baseball.”

OK, no, it’s not. But let’s move on. Let’s tell you about our exchange with Christian Yelich, the seasoned Lion King of this group. He seemed like someone who might have a feel for this weighty moment. But no, not quite.

TA: “Can you describe what it was like to find yourself in the middle of that inning?”

YELICH: “Yeah, it was cool. I mean, just happy for the guys, just trying to get a win out there and just playing baseball.”

TA: “Yes, but when it gets to six two-out hits in a row, to seven two-out hits in a row, are you saying to yourself, ‘I don’t know if I’ve been part of something like this?’”

YELICH: “I mean, I’ve seen our team have some times where we’ve run off consecutive hits throughout the year. Obviously, it’s not super frequent, but I feel like I’ve seen us kind of do some stuff like that before. Just kind of, it just happens. It’s one of those baseball things. … It’s one of those baseball things that you can’t explain, but it just kind of happens.”

TA: “That’s true. You just made it happen in a World Series game, though.”

NL manager of the year?

Who do you think deserves to win it as of now in the NL? Do you think a guy like Pat Murphy can win it for a 3rd time? Seems like he is the heavy favorite.

Other options include Walt Weiss, and Craig Stammen. But seems like Pat has it locked up. Any chance they don’t give it to him?

Who do you think should win and why?
