2021-10-11 (NLDS Game #3): Brewers (Peralta) at Braves (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 3-0]

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

The Brewers are gonna get outscored in this series...and still win it.

[roadcrew3]

Peralta would almost definitely be available for 2-3 innings in a game 5. Would be his scheduled day to throw between starts anyways.

 

Also dont think Woodruff would be on any limitations. No reason Woodruff and Peralta couldn't cover 8 innings to get to Hader.

 

There is a lot of ball left for this team - far from dead.

The whole point of having pitching depth is so you don't have to use Burnes on short rest tomorrow.

 

We are sort of playing for our season tomorrow, haven't scored a run since Game 1 and our "pitching depth" is not Corbin Burnes.

[bucks2281]

My concern is whether Burnes would even be effective on 3 days rest

[mtrebs]

The whole point of having pitching depth is so you don't have to use Burnes on short rest tomorrow.

 

I still would want my #1 in an elimination game. Does no use in game 5 if you don’t win game #4.

 

Also, CC Sabathia is rolling in his grave (I know he’s alive) at this short rest talk…

[adambr2]

2 runs in 3 games. Claws up!

[MoreTrife]

I blame keston and yelich

[folly412]

Lauer may be the best hitter in the lineup tomorrow. Why sit him when he should probably be leading off and going full Shohei?

It's 2 elimination games. They both matter exactly the same. What configuration gives us the best chance of winning both?

[Team Canada]

So we don't score in 2 games and the problem is that we tried to score with 2nd and 3rd and nobody out by PHing for Peralta? That seems like exactly the move you'd make when you know you can't score runs.

My money is on Burnes and Woodruff starting.

 

Edit: and having Lauer relieve Burnes and Peralta relieve Woodruff.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I'm going to be petty and say told you CC should've pinch hit. Freddy would've needed to be Harvey Haddix for us to win this one.

[BigDaddy1974]

On the bright side, the offense can’t get any worse can they? Tomorrow has to be better.

[jason21nl]

I’m not risking blowing out Burnes arm and pitching him on short rest when there’s a fresh capable option in Lauer.

If CC were alive he would have taken over in the 5th inning, threw a shutout the rest of the way, and then started game 4 to close the series out.

[Nola Beery]

You can argue till Kingdom Come about taking Peralta out. Bottom line: Nobody hit; Hauser gave up 3 in a flash. Say good night. Playing for the season tomorrow.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Lauer may be the best hitter in the lineup tomorrow. Why sit him when he should probably be leading off and going full Shohei?

 

Don't you feel like a pitcher basehit is gonna turn the whole series?

[A Swing and A Drive]

You need to win Game 4 or there is no Game 5. Burnes on short rest.

Maybe I have a different memory but I seem to recall CC throwing for us on short rest and then getting lit up in a playoff game that was over before it started?

[folly412]

It's funny to be full-on panic mode with the starting pitcher after 2 runs in 27 innings. It's infinitely more likely we lose 1-0 tomorrow than 9-8 with the starter giving up the bulk of the runs.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

No way Burnes goes tomorrow. No chance.

[bucks2281]

To be fair, that was like his 4th consecutive start on short rest

[roadcrew3]

No way Burnes goes tomorrow. No chance.

 

I don't think he starts but I think he will be available out of the pen for a couple. Probably no more than 45 or so pitches would be my guess but can help bridge to Hader.

Yeah I don't understand the bickering over putting a PH in that situation it was the correct call and it just didn't work out there. The Brewers only had one other chance to score runs in the game which they hit into a DP so CC made the right call in making the PH call in the 5th inning. When you have limited opportunities to score you have to go for scoring the runs when you can and yes that means PH for your pitcher in the 5th inning.

 

It didn't work out that didn't make it a bad or incorrect decision.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

The Bucks did it.

 

And were in a worse position.
