2017-09-01: Nationals (Roark) at Brewers (Nelson) 7:10 PM CDT (Brewers win 1-0)

[trwi7]

Right now in the Badger game they are reviewing a "targeting" penalty, which they confirmed and then ejected the player. Let this be a warning to replay proponents, it ruins everything.

 

They ejected a player for tackling a "defenseless receiver" which is code for "playing football". Soon enough we'll see this crap on slides at home too

 

The guy led with the crown of his helmet. You think they should just let that go?

[adambr2]

Damnit, thought Shaw got it off the bat.

Yes, its called playing football. It has been going on for generations.

Seems like pitchers still aren't used to the shifts, on the last one Nelson tried to hit the ball with his foot even though Arcia was sitting there waiting.

Ever heard of CTE?

[topper09er]

Players getting hit hard in football cannot be avoided. period. If that is your goal just outlaw the whole thing. There are no preventative measures that you can take to remove hard contact without switching to flag football.

[markedman5]

Tough call but I'm ok with it...no matter what happens

[topper09er]

Dusty really fell for that one, no way Nelson was going to hit this inning with 100 pitches. I wonder if because Dusty ignores pitch counts he doesn't realize all the other managers bow down to it.

[liveforoctober]

Ho hum 7 innings, 3 H, 0 ER, 11 K for Jimmy.

 

Brewers have a really interesting team for a possible post season run ... Nelson, Anderson, Davies might be good enough as is Hader, Swarzak, Knebel. Dear offense .. we know you have it in you. Let's make this a magical season and please show up!

[TURBO]

Can Nelson be our true ACE? So impressive...

[topper09er]

Davies has more wins

[PinaMadness]

This Hader kid is all right.

[yfinn6]

What an 8th for Hader.

[topper09er]

 

No reason to remove Hader at all, but of course we have to use the closer in the 9th

[pacopete4]

Hader. Shutting up the haters. Unreal talent.

[liveforoctober]

Hader my goodness.

[TURBO]

This Hader kid is all right.

 

meh.

[markedman5]

Sit down Murphy!

[adambr2]

Hader >>> Swarzak

 

A couple righties coming up and Hader still came in and blew them away. Who knew?

[jerichoholicninja]

Any chance Craig keeps Hader in there since he's dealing? None. But he should.

[topper09er]

Murphy has only K'd 3 times in a game 1 other time this season.

[PinaMadness]

If you're Counsell and you just saw Hader pitch like Roger Clemens circa 1986 in the eighth, with Knebel having pitched the past two days... you'd have to be on crack to not send him out again in the ninth.

[PinaMadness]

I guess Counsell's on crack.

[liveforoctober]

Tough day for Sogard.

[MrTPlush]

Hader. Shutting up the haters. Unreal talent.

 

He has haters?
