2018-10-17 (NLCS Game #5): Brewers (Miley) at Dodgers (Kershaw) 4:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-2]

[MoreTrife]

Well safe

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Wasted a challenge there.

[MrTPlush]

Woodruff was warming up that whole time and the announcers or cameras were to blind to notice?

 

Was he? Or did he warm up prior to the game? I'm not watching so don't know.

 

Regardless how do you miss that. He was pitching in the bullpen when Miley left the mound.

[MrTPlush]

We need a new guy looking at close plays. What a dunce.

[tmwiese55]

I called it! One batter, and Woodruff time. Make them start their righties to face Miley, then sub out.

 

Right, LAD called our bluff this time. But they tried to do that and stuck with the plan for Miley in a later game instead. Can't say they're not trying all they can

[PinaMadness]

Really, we're reviewing this? jfc

I think it was an umpire review. At least I hope it was.

[82brewcrew82]

So now we have no challenge either?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Any chance that they roll Miley out for one hitter or one inning, then go to Woodruff (3 innings) and Davies (3-4 innings)? That way they could bring Miley back for Game 7. It would also cause the Dodgers to start their right-handed hitters against Miley, then swap them for the power left-handed guys, weakening the bench. That would be a ballsy manager move.

 

I am not right often, but the blind squirrel found a nut. This is from 11:43 this morning

[folly412]

Did the Dodgers know this was going to happen? Curious how they started Bellinger and Muncy today...

 

CC's trying to go next level with the deceptions, but Roberts is about as fool-proof a manager as you're going to get.

[82brewcrew82]

This feels all wrong.

[dlk9s]

This is going well.

[PinaMadness]

Bellinger is leading off for the first time this series. Roberts was on to CC.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Train wreck.

I mean I think Roberts called "checkmate" on CC...He started the leftys today because he KNEW no matter how long Miley went(and most likely at most 5 innings), he HAD to counter with a righty next(and most likely the rest of the game), so they face Miley for one AB, maybe two, and now when the righties come in, he still has them in the game and, he saves his bench guys rather than having to do all the Double switching/PH'ng he had been doing.

It feels like whoever wins this game will win the series, and I’m not liking how this game feels right now.

You did see it coming, unfortunately so did the Dodgers.

[Craigilicious]

Kiiiinda feels like this might backfire but maybe I'm just paranoid.

[MoreTrife]

That mayyybe was intentional?

[PinaMadness]

I'm all for planting 95 in Machado's ribs, but the stakes are too high to do that this week.

[TURBO]

Well, if you are going to walk him, might as well make it hurt...

[owbc]

There's some desperation to the strategy, but it's really our only hope. We probably couldn't win this series with a traditional approach.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Slow roller. Classic Machado hustle! Great job, Woody.

[homer]

Suck it Machado.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Nice job Brandon. Awesome

[owbc]

Thanks Machado!
