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]

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

EXHALE! That was too close!

[Boomer5]

I need one of those towels. I feel for that woman now.

[tigerbrew]

HUGE WIN! Free burgers

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Man, these games are not good for my blood pressure. Time to lay off the hoagies.

[PinaMadness]

Don't worry, Puig. Your prediction of a sweep will still happen.

[The stache]

Thank God. FFS.

 

I do not trust Jeremy Jeffress right now. Not at all.

[Boomer5]

Now it’s the Dodgers that are questioning the game.

 

We still need to win tomorrow to keep homefield.

[phnxcrew]

Count me as not worried. Long break between series equals rusty relievers. I'm glad everyone had work and we're up 1-0, of course

[Bulldogboy]

Thank God. FFS.

 

I do not trust Jeremy Jeffress right now. Not at all.

Me either.

[rcc]

Wow Corey got him and Woodruff with the win. What an exciting game!

[Boomer5]

Here comes ARod to tell us how the Dodgers have the advantage.

[wildcat83]

Man, long series and they have good starters, but it seems huge to hang a L on Kershaw!

[folly412]

That was too much. I don't know if I can take a full series.

 

Anyway, George Webb, your prediction has come true!

 

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Thank God. FFS.

 

I do not trust Jeremy Jeffress right now. Not at all.

 

He was unhittable last Friday in a two-inning save. These are great teams we are facing now. Nothing is going to be easy.

[adambr2]

Thank God. FFS.

 

I do not trust Jeremy Jeffress right now. Not at all.

 

He gave up one solid hit, that was it.

 

I dislike the walks from Cedeno and Knebel more. But yeah, we need elite JJ back.

[Boomer5]

Yes. ARod to form.

[wildcat83]

OK this post game is brutal

[jerichoholicninja]

Thank God. FFS.

 

I do not trust Jeremy Jeffress right now. Not at all.

 

He gave up a bloop hit off the end of the bat and a worm burner up the middle. Without the runners on base (that he didn't put on), that inning doesn't look so bad.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Winning a game where Yelich goes 0-4 with 3 K's and a GIDP....against Kershaw....YES! Nervewracking, but damn that felt good!

 

You can see as this series gets longer, there are going to be some tough outs to get in that Dodger lineup with how many outs the bullpen will need to get...that is a stacked roster.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Well, I know Mr. Burnes is going two innings tomorrow. Maybe a little Peralta or Guerra? More than likely more Knebel and I'm already thinking of that game... ahh, stressful! Soria and Jeffress (he makes me nervous, though) can easily go again. I think only Woodruff and Hader are no-gos.

[tigerbrew]

Hader pitching 3 innings turned out to be a wise decision. Cedeno's stuff is not good, hope he's not use again in this series.

[Underachiever]

Papi was so painful to watch try to form a sentence. I would have offered him $1000 on the spot to name a Brewer, and I don't think he could have done it.

[Boomer5]

ARod has clearly never seen this team play in September if he thinks Counsel doesn’t know what he is doing.

[homer]

Whew. Moving on to game 2.

[502 to Right]

4+ hours for a 9 inning game is brutal. Bullpenning might put up W's but in the long run it's going to turn away fans with absurdly long games.
