2018-10-16 (NLCS Game #4): Brewers (González) at Dodgers (Hill) 8:09 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 2-1 -- 13 Innings]

[mtrebs]

Hopefully we can get a clean inning here. No need to walk a bunch of guys.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Why do we always watch fastballs right down the middle for strike one?

 

Because people yell at them for not being patient if they swing at the first pitch.

 

Yep ... can't win.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Have to get this to the 10th somehow. Feels like a game that needs to be won at this point.

[topper09er]

Counsell went all in, I don't like using the pinch runner there unless it was the tying run.

[mtrebs]

Just let way too many chances go in this one. I'm fully prepared for what I think is about to happen.

 

Ready for someone to impersonate Kirk Gibson?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Man, show a little bit of faith! Unless you are prepared for a clean Knebel inning, then winning it in the 10th. Then carry on

[Ennder]

Counsell went all in, I don't like using the pinch runner there unless it was the tying run.

 

Since he didn't even try to steal I absolutely hate it. Could have just used a pitcher.

[adambr2]

Not getting Pina in after the 7th inning leadoff double. That's the one that will sting.

 

Really mad at the offense.

Agreed. We are pot committed. Unlikely Hader is available for tomorrow. If Knebel pitches now, he might be unavailable. Atleast Peralta gave us big innings.

 

But, gotta go for it now. Knowing we'll face murderer's row for Games 5 and 6 (and maybe 7), we need to lock this in.

Good enough move for tying run but not the winning run?

[HarveysWBs]

2-0, should be 1-1. Cool

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Man, show a little bit of faith! Unless you are prepared for a clean Knebel inning, then winning it in the 10th. Then carry on

 

I love Knebel, but how many times can we ask different guys to do this? I'd pin it on the offense if he serves one up anyway.

[dlk9s]

Guess tomorrow is Miley, Woodruff, Jeffress.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Counsell went all in, I don't like using the pinch runner there unless it was the tying run.

 

Good enough move for tying run but not the winning run?

 

Yep, gotta manage aggressively. Isn't the regular season anymore.

[topper09er]

Counsell went all in, I don't like using the pinch runner there unless it was the tying run.

 

Good enough move for tying run but not the winning run?

 

Yes because it was unlikely to matter either way, but if it is a must score run it is worth increasing your chances by 2%.

[yfinn6]

On the verge of another leadoff walk.

 

Phew, nevermind.

[stoutdude04]

Wouldnt be surprised to see Knebel rusty...seems like hes been worked a lot.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

NO LEADOFF WALKS!!!!

[shanedog19]

Counsell has played this perfectly. The offense needs to execute at some point.

[MoreTrife]

Barnes has no interest in swinging!!!

[topper09er]

Dodger stadium erupts over any contact. These clowns are finally looking up from their phones for the first time all night

[phnxcrew]

that was the loudest reaction to a routine ground out ever

[adambr2]

OMG A ROUTINE GROUNDER TO SHORT!!!

 

These Dodger fans are sounding worse than Cub fans.

[mtrebs]

This strike zone changes every batter

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Make up call for first pitch last AB.
