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

[DuWayne Steurer]

nice defensive swing from Urias

[jjgott]

Cain...c'mon man.

[Fear The Chorizo]

ugh...never mind then

[pacopete4]

Cain is pretty useless up there these days.

[PinaMadness]

Once again, Pina ties this if he isn't pulled.

[MrTPlush]

lol such a typical end. Hope the bats pull their heads out of their back end. Pathetic showing.

[adambr2]

Counsell doesn't make a ton of bad moves, but pulling Pina from this game was a really bad move at a really bad time. Awful decision.

[jjgott]

And Maile. Wow, what a way to completely kill the rally.

[yourout]

I will be surprised if this makes it back to Milwaukee.

[wOOgiE22]

What a waste of a rally. Get 2 on then swing at 2 first pitches to end the game.

[adambr2]

Honestly, we are extremely fortunate not to be heading on the road facing elimination in Game 3. Would not have taken many different turns of circumstance to lose Game 1 and be down 2-0 right now.

[pacopete4]

Well, you gotta at least win one in Atlanta.

[82brewcrew82]

That sucked

[DuWayne Steurer]

Pulling Pina was just a really bad move. It used up both Vogelbach and Taylor, and we didn't have anyone to use in the 9th when we really needed someone with the game on the line.

[owbc]

Meh…split is fine, Atlanta bullpen looks shaky. Pitching matches will remain in our favor. I’m not worried.

Vogelbach is hard to have on your roster. He can’t run. He doesn’t hit lefties. Back to back games pulled because of these problems.

What a waste of a rally. Get 2 on then swing at 2 first pitches to end the game.

[sarcasm]... because homers in the ninth wins games...[/sarcasm]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Bats need to show up in Games 3 & 4 after tonight’s performance…or lack thereof.

 

Had a .617 winning percentage on the road this year. So there’s some hope for a couple road wins.

The Brewers offense looks shakier, and for quite a while longer.

[sixtolezcano16]

Yep. No way the September swoon carries over to the playoffs. Not really any clutch hitting for this team

in a month.

[titletownking]

We all knew this much rest was not a good thing for the bats.

[willie key]

The brewers seem, to be on fumes.

 

A team is in the freaking playoffs tied 1-1 and I feel pretty apathetic about the games

 

 

It’s just been four weeks of crap baseball and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to change

Atlanta has a bullpen full of lefties, and a lefty starter that's going to pitch twice, and your 1B is Rowdy Tellez. I have no idea why Vogelbach is on the roster for this series.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yeah, I'm just not that frustrated weirdly. I kind of figured on 1-1.

 

The Brewers have to win games when Atlanta is either a) throwing their lesser starters or b) throwing one of their top 2 on short rest.

 

That's it. The offense is going to have to hit Ian Anderson/Ynoa, and Lauer/Freddy have to do their thing to the tune of a quality start.

 

We're back to a toss-up series, but, if you'd asked me before game 1, I'd have had Atlanta as slight favorites. Now, I think the Brewers are. Just getting one at home was that big because the drop from Fried to Anderson is bigger than Woody to Freddy/Lauer.

 

I think CC goes Freddy, and I'm reconsidering my gut-feeling to go Lauer. This is why Peralta is here.

[pacopete4]

Yep. No way the September swoon carries over to the playoffs. Not really any clutch hitting for this team

Pitching is good. They had one less hit than the Braves today. One more than the Braves yesterday.
