2018-10-12 (NLCS Game #1): Dodgers (Kershaw) at Brewers (González) 7:09 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5 -- Bullpen Survives; 12th Straight Win; Burgers for Everyone]

[pacopete4]

Do we play seven inning games in the NLCS? Why is Hader getting loose?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Suspend Machado for the rest of the series!

 

Can we get a bonus out for hitter's interference?

 

He hit Pina in the side of the head, and just turned around and walked away. No concern at all. Prick.

[Bulldogboy]

Sit Hader down. To push that button now is totally unnecessary.

[coolhandluke121]

Odd that Hader is up right now. I'd hate to blow him this early.

 

Hard to question anything they do anymore. They might bring in another LHB PH and then the Brewers will still have a gauntlet of RHP's in the pen.

[HarveysWBs]

Seems early for Hader with Woodruff throwing really well.

 

Way early. No idea why.

 

He’s up for show for now. Game within the game. Keep the lefties (and Puig) on the bench until CC squeezes every drop he can out of Woody tonight.

[chewy522]

I vote woodruff bats this inning and goes for 3, maybe 4, innings. He has been clean thus far and pitch count is manageable. Don't think it's gonna happen though

[Oxy]

I have to think that CC is just following the plan... 4th inning up by one warm up Hader... That said, I hope he adjusts and lets Woody go for as long as he can.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

How did Brandon Woodruff spend most of 2018 in Colorado Springs?

 

While the Brewers August rotation numbers were some of the worst in baseball to boot. That is a mystery that will never be solved.

I believe this to be the case. The way Woody is throwing... man...

[wildcat83]

Woodruff probably done with his spot due up this inning I guess, but Hader now seems early.

[adambr2]

Yeah I would probably hold off on Hader too. I guess he's probably got it mapped out for Hader to throw the 5th and 6th, then some combination of Soria, Burnes, Knebel and Jeffress for the 7th thru 9th?

[owbc]

Anyone else notice all the pine tar on the back of Kershaw's hat?

[jerichoholicninja]

Woodruff is only a single, double, and triple away from the cycle. You have to let him hit!

[Bigblast]

Woodruff probably done with his spot due up this inning I guess, but Hader now seems early.

 

I understand, but man he's pitching great, he hit a home run last innning. What more can Woodruff do.

[lcbj68c]

Why was Pina yelling at Aguilar?

Do they maybe see him as a pen guy rather than a workhorse starter? My only guess here.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I know the lefty-lefty matchup does not favor Woodruff, but I think I might let him swing it this inning.

[chewy522]

Grandal has given us 6 extra bases so far

[Bulldogboy]

70 pitches.

I suppose come back to pitch Monday

[Oxy]

Anyone else notice all the pine tar on the back of Kershaw's hat?

 

 

WOW. Yeah, that's clearly not cool/legal.

[PinaMadness]

The 6-7-8 are coming up for the Dodgers. Why bring in a new reliever for them with Woody going strong?

It's Clayton Kershaw though. They won't do jack.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

I'm thoroughly enjoying how well Woodruff is mowing these guys down. I also didn't forget how night and day he's been the 2nd time through the order. There's your answer ladies and gents. It will come for him.
