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

[bigredrobbo]

Dodgers organ guy played Human League earlier on, now, Behind The Wheel by Depeche Mode. I'd prefer that to polka....

[Eye Black]

Counsell going against his word of 4-5 inning for Woodruff. A lot of pitches and innings right here for a guy who isn’t used to it lately.

Well he is still within the number of pitches you would expect in a normal 5 inning outing.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'm not as tense for this game for whatever reason. I guess I see it going 7 either way so im not really hung up on the outcome.

[MrTPlush]

Wow......

[topper09er]

Is there any recorded history of two double plays and a triple play in the same game? I'm getting prepped for Machado as a coping mechanism. This tension stuff is hard work.

 

Reminds me of the worst player in MLB history, Ron Wright. 1 game, 3 PA 6 outs: K, GIDP, GITP

[owbc]

Ha. At least we got him, even if it was unintentional.

[topper09er]

Google Assistant reminds me of this

 

[Eye Black]

It might be time to get Woodruff out of the game.

[Boomer5]

Well Cain came to play but Yelich pretty much packed it in. We really should be up big now.

 

2-1. That’s it.

[Brewcrewin07]

Ball game...see you Friday night

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

It might be time to get Woodruff out of the game.

 

Yeah, he's looking a bit tired now. And friggin' Muncy pokes one through. Of course.

[dlk9s]

I turned on the Bucks game and put the Brewers on mute and it's much less stressful.

[owbc]

Beat the shift...

[coolhandluke121]

Might have been a little overconfident in Woodruff there. Can't blame him, but they've relied on pulling guys before stuff like this happens, not waiting until it's too late. Still the offense's fault of course. The lack of another good LHP in the pen is a problem once again.

3rd time through the order, hmmm. I know due to last night they had to push it, but just another example whenever someone gets yanked even though they're going well

[topper09er]

Just a crappy ground ball

[Boomer5]

I turned on the Bucks game and put the Brewers on mute and it's much less stressful.

 

It’s no longer stressful. After yesterday and seeing the second inning today we know how this will end.

[YelichPosse]

We continue to get beat on soft and weak contact . So frustrating.

 

Our pitching in this series has been nothing short of phenomenal...

 

The offense has been hot trash and even when the pitching has given something up it’s usually a single on a broken bat or weakly in the perfect spot. Such a bummer !

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I turned on the Bucks game and put the Brewers on mute and it's much less stressful.

 

The Bucks are shooting 100%. Why can't the Brewers hit 100% of the time!?

[MrTPlush]

Welp play the slow violin music.

[topper09er]

We continue to get beat on soft and weak contact . So frustrating.

 

well when we could score runs on weak contact we strikeout

[82brewcrew82]

It's as shame that near perfect pitching isn't going to be good enough to win this series. The offense has just been brutal.

I think you gotta give Cedeno a chance there. I know he's one of the worst pitchers on the staff, but Woodruff was tired and a lot of guys are unavailable and it's not like Cedeno has been trash (some lucky ground-ball hits if I recall correctly).

[pacopete4]

Woody pitched his guts out. Heck of a game.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Great job by Woody. He kind of hung the last one, but it was still a weak grounder through the hole. He did everything you could have asked for. This is on the offense.
