2018-10-05 (NLDS Game #2): Rockies (Anderson) at Brewers (Chacín) 3:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-0]

[KeithStone53151]

Dude's just throwing sliders down and getting swings more often than not. Everyone wants to be hero. Keep doing it until it stops working...

[MoreTrife]

Chacin's high heat just seems to float like a cloud by the hitter.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Fooled that decent hitter.

 

Sure did - sliders out of the zone are tough to hit...glad rockies are being overagressive. It's the ABs where hitters are forcing him to throw strikes where he's getting hit hard...

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Good 2-2 fastball there....

[OnaBadger58]

Feel Like Kratz could be framing some of these pitches better...

[owbc]

The crowd is really into this one

Both offenses are pressing, just shows how important this game is.

I was saying this to my wife. I think Kratz costs them strikes

 

 

 

Huge!!!!

Yesterday the Rockies were dodging bullets today it has been us so far.

[MoreTrife]

I want no part of Story with bases loaded.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

3 scoreless so far from Chacin. Need the offense to show up.

[SRB]

Rockies were lucky last night, we're lucky tonight (so far)

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Wow. Walk the pitcher to start thr inning and get out of it. Good pitch sequence to CarGo I thought

[YelichPosse]

Sigh. Of relief. The crowd has to be helping him get through these outs today. He’s without his good stuff.

 

Let’s rememebr we have the home field in the NL.. and the effect it can have !! Showed right there!

[MoreTrife]

Even though Chacin is struggling I think the best move is let him bat and squeeze another inning from him against 3 RH hitters.

[coolhandluke121]

56 pitches on 3 days rest is plenty. Don't let him hit. That's why you kept 14 batters. Use them!

[True Blue Brew Crew]

The Crew scoring runs here would be awfully deflating to the Rockies given the chances they've squandered.

[folly412]

Phew. Would love to squeeze out another inning facing 5-6-7, but if Shaw or Kratz actually gets on you've got to pinch hit.

Does your opinion change if the first 2 guys get out? It becomes obvious if we get a runner on, especially if he gets in scoring position.

Agreed. I would have a bullpen arm ready to go at any moment of the 4th inning however. No time to be reactionary in these games.

Into the on deck circle for now...we'll see.

[coolhandluke121]

I want everything nice I ever said about Counsell stricken from the record if he uses Chacin to sacrifice with Shaw on 1st and 1 out.

[PinaMadness]

Or just let Chacin sac bunt, if he can do it.

[owbc]

Bottom of the order starting a rally here!!!
