2021-10-09 (NLDS Game #2): Braves (Fried) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers lose, 3-0]

[PinaMadness]

Time to bring back the "Fire Haines" threads.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Alright. Time to change up the mojo.

14 innings of postseason baseball for the Brewers and the only runs came from 1 swing of the bat.

Well, the Braves runs have come on three so....

[DuWayne Steurer]

Really hasn’t felt like he has pitched that great…just nothing going right and bad swings.

 

 

good pitching causes bad swings. Fried's got a lot of movement on his curve. He's hung a few, but he's been putting it where he wants it for the most part.

[willie key]

I do like how the brewers are really going against the grain

 

The don’t swig at strikes and swing at balls philosophy could really change the game

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

How far do the Braves push Fried, I wonder? I'd let him pitch forever if it were me, but we'll see where Snitker's at. Gotta keep it close for it to matter much, though.

Yeah, not totally buying that. There have been some really awful at bats and and inconsistent approach as a whole. Still some time but the offense needs to buckle down.

[gebc1997]

Have the Brewers had anybody in scoring position yet in this series

 

corrected, Once with two outs in the bottom of the 8th yesterday

No reason to not keep going with him unless they want to bring him back on short rest for game 4 I guess. Their bullpen is plenty good enough if we keep having ABs like this.

[MrTPlush]

Board the plane to Atlanta.

Hope he throws enough to not see him again this series, but now a three run lead, hurts those odds.

[titletownking]

Just not good enough from Woodruff and the offense certainly did not benefit from all that rest.

[HarveysWBs]

Forget the change, give em the heater

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Color me crazy. But team has seemed pretty flat energy wise.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I am trying to remember if the Brewers have had a real comeback win in their playoff years.

 

I know they were down 1-0 early once or twice and came back, but anything more than that? Seems like every game they've won they've played from ahead.

 

Maybe they're due?

 

Edit: maybe Game 1 of the 2011 NLCS?

[Joseph Zarr]

Not a bad pitch by any stretch. Better hitting. This just in: Riley is a good hitter.

Doing nothing on offense will give that impression.

[SeaBass]

Fried has a good pitch mix and clearly has Brewers hitters uncomfortable with predicting what's coming. I think he's been brilliant today. I agree that curve ball looks like it hangs but it seems to surprise hitters every time.

Game 4 of the 1982 World Series. A looooooooong time ago.

The pitch to Freeman and the pitch to Riley were not good in either selection or execution.

[MrTPlush]

Braves have scored a decent pitches from Woodruff twice this game. We have not been doing that ourselves.

[jason21nl]

So you’re telling me they can’t just flip a switch and start hitting. Huh. Weird.

[Simba2020]

A good, not great outing. I suspect pretty much every start in the post season is going to have to be of the great variety if we expect to win.

Pretty sure they were down 2-0 in game 4 too
