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]

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

 

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

 

Knock it with that talk!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

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

 

Hader isn't the only Brewers stud reliever. You sound like the Fox studio guys LOL

Pretty sure the 2019 Season starts early...like March 20 or something.

[MrTPlush]

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

 

If Arcia gets out...yah I would probably do it. But I see where that can be hard to do when the two guys after him have gotten hits today.

[c_span23]

Anyone else notice that the dodgers seem to look into the dugout after every called strike?

[HarveysWBs]

Man we need a Santana shot

[young guns]

Thanks joe for asking google all the hard questions everyone wants to know.

[jason21nl]

Granderson please!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Why not use Granderson here? They have so many lefties, no doubt they'll be in later.

[coolhandluke121]

Good thing you didn't use Santana or Granderson with 2 runners on so you can save them for this high-leverage situation.

[YelichPosse]

Cedeno up? Oh no....

[MrTPlush]

Hate taking Hader out and I don’t like using Santana here.

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.)

 

I thought in regards to Kratz was he caught Miley and Chacin. Starters to 5 of 7 of this series. But with that, why not ph Pina when you did Schoop? Was Kratz on base then?

[nodakfan17]

I wonder if Counsell considered starting Hader tonight?

 

In a win or go home situation, why not go with your best guy first?

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Use a lefty! Like Granderson! Otherwise, he's gonna have to hit against one later. I don't understand Santana here. And I really don't understand Schoop in the 2nd now.

[Bulldogboy]

Santana with nobody on but Scoop with two on? Ok.

[topper09er]

If he has to face Buehler would have been nice for Santana to take the AB with RISP

[adambr2]

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.

 

How the pitchers are handled won't be relevant if we can't find a way to start scoring runs in the next 1-2 hours.

[phnxcrew]

What a terrible offense. Have to pull Hader down because we can't scratch one across

[82brewcrew82]

Good Grief.

[MrTPlush]

Man headscratching use of PHers tonight.

[coolhandluke121]

Cedeno up? Oh no....

 

I think he should face Bellinger. That's what he's here for. He's no lock to get him out, but neither is anyone else.

[HarveysWBs]

If he has to face Buehler would have been nice for Santana to take the AB with RISP

 

I’ve been understanding of virtually all CC’s decisions this postseason, but I agree, that one is curious

[phnxcrew]

what is the game plan? swing at everything? Most of these aren't even within a foot of the plate

[jason21nl]

Just a terrible use of Santana
