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]

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

You just feel like this is a huge inning. Need to get out clean. One run isn't the end of the world, but after that it will come close to sucking the life out of a lot of people.

[NievesNoNO]

I guess it's setting up nicely for a comeback walking HR

[coolhandluke121]

What are lefties hitting off our assigned LOOGYs this year? .500?

 

It's certainly not good but it's not Cedeno's fault that Boone and Drake sucked so much. Cedeno has been getting a lot of ground balls and that's all you can ask.

[PinaMadness]

I go back to the Scoop ab. Granderson hits there what are the Dodgers going to do? Get a lefty? You score then bring on Hader. Crowd goes nuts. It was a simple call. The crowd was so muted that ab. No one thought Scoop was going to get a hit. There is really no excuse for wasting that big spot there.

Sure, you just score. As if that was a given. No matter who bats seven times out of ten it's going to fail.

[YelichPosse]

On the bright side. The two worst moves made this year were Schoop and Cedeno. DS has made several good ones. I’ll take that % that got us that here - all day! But man It feels Cedeno has not retired soembody since we got him.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Another ground ball hit against Cedeno. Now everyone will keep saying he sucks and can't get lefties out. Dang.

Well, if batter a hits and gets on base, that is by definition not getting the batter out. To a larger point, maybe there is something wrong with the defensive shifting when Cedeno pitches. Small sample size, perhaps. But maybe the defensive positioning needed adjusting with Cedeno on the mound.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, this isn't looking too hot. JJ better bear down pretty quick. K and a DP grounder would do.

[jason21nl]

I can't accept one run in a loss. Just will be gutted.

 

Well. You might not see it

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Manny "Double Play" Machado. Please come through on your new nickname!

[adambr2]

If we give up anything else, let's be honest, we are in really serious trouble.

[MrTPlush]

Man more runs here would be just killer...absolutely killer. They have the knock out punch in the pen.

Who would you bet on Granderson or Schoop? I thought so.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I meant Manny "Flyout" Machado and Cody "Double Play" Bellinger.

But getting ground balls definitely means he can get lefties out and deserves a chance to. When those ground balls get through the infield, it doesn't mean he can't get them out; it just means he didn't on that particular occasion, because baseball.

[jason21nl]

Damn. Thought that was an easy DP. Gets down the line fast

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

C'mon JJ ... need an escape here. Channel May JJ

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I meant Manny "Flyout" Machado, Cody "Fielder's Choice" Bellinger, and Yasiel "Strikeout" Puig!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Damn. Thought that was an easy DP. Gets down the line fast

 

For a tall, lanky dude he really flies.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I kinda hate Cody Bellinger.

 

I mean, I really like him as a player, but I hate him.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well crap!!!!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

That just might be the back breaker.

[Bigblast]

Good going Jeffress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jjgott]

Damn, that stings

[CheezWizHed]

I kinda hate Cody Bellinger.

 

I mean, I really like him as a player, but I hate him.

 

I would've liked him more if we had traded for him a last year.

[PinaMadness]

I'm going to be sick.

 

Puig of all people.
