2018-10-20 (NLCS Game #7): Dodgers (Buehler) at Brewers (Chacín) 7:09 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-1 -- 2018 Season Comes to a Close]

[lcbj68c]

Why does every Dodger when they get a called strike against them, look to the dugout like they expect Roberts to come out and save them?

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

There's a catcher I've been hoping to see get a little more PT who has a .667 OBP this series, but what do I know.

Exactly. What a waste.

 

I don't know what it is. I know Kratz is a great story and all, but Pina is just better from everything I've seen. Especially in the post-season, where he's had, what, a few starts? I don't get it either unless the pitchers are literally lining up to say that Kratz is the only one that can call a good game (and I don't think that's happening.)

[jason21nl]

My goodness he’s ridiculous

[HarveysWBs]

Hader got 9. Cant ask for much more, with velocity declining. Next man up, and let’s go bats!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

 

Heck, in this day and age, it could be because of Piña’s swing path and pitching angles from the Dodgers starters. Who knows.

 

Yep I don't question starting Kratz. I'm sure there is a ton of data indicating he should be in there.

 

I do like Pina's bat, though, and wouldn't mind seeing him on a double switch soon.

[topper09er]

That's why we pay you the big bucks Hader - league minimum

[lcbj68c]

I'm uneasy. Jeffress for the RH Hernandez?

 

Followup: Hernandez never had a chance.

[young guns]

Can arcia just homer so hader can stay in?

[DuWayne Steurer]

He did what he was supposed to do for 3 innings.

[MrTPlush]

Hader should pitch another inning, but I am not in charge sadly.

[homer]

Well Hader did his job.

[nodakfan17]

This is Hader's last inning.

The timing works with the pitcher’s spot coming up.

 

He gave us 3 scoreless innings ... pretty decent night for a reliever.

[pacopete4]

There's a catcher I've been hoping to see get a little more PT who has a .667 OBP this series, but what do I know.

Man. This is a mystery up there with big foot and lock ness. I will never understand why you choose to play a bad player in place of a decent one.

 

Probably has to do with how he handles the pitchers.

 

It’s like we haven’t covered this in numerous IGTs.

[Bulldogboy]

Well Hader gave you a shot. Dodgers can relax now knowing he's out and they still have the lead. Brewers must score here.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Hader should pitch another inning, but I am not in charge sadly.

 

Tough to sacrifice an out for another inning of him when you are trailing, though at this stage - i'd be good either way

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'm uneasy. Jeffress for the RH Hernandez?

 

Followup: Hernandez never had a chance.

 

 

He really didn't. He seemed like he knew it, too.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Hader should pitch another inning, but I am not in charge sadly.

 

Tempting. Just real tough to give up an out....

[PinaMadness]

Let's get some damn runs!!!!!

[bucks2281]

Hader in the on deck circle

[homer]

 

It’s like we haven’t covered this in numerous IGTs.

 

Hey what's one more! Might not have another IGT until April

[coolhandluke121]

Man. Hate to bring in an RHP for Bellinger but they'll probably have to. Doesn't Hader have a hit this year?

[pacopete4]

Arcia get on so Hader can bunt

[lcbj68c]

If Arcia doubles, do you let Hader try and bunt?

[YelichPosse]

Hoping for a leadoff runner here ! Please !!!!!

[DuWayne Steurer]

We have 15 outs left to use. Giving one up to get Hader another inning in which his effectiveness may already be starting to slip a bit doesn't make sense. We have to trust Jeffress, Knebel, and the rest of the pen to get through the next 4 innings.
