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

[mtrebs]

I normally support Counsell, but this was just an awful decision and very likely cost us the series.

[Nola Beery]

Here comes a 3-run homer by Pederson, and Freddie can only watch from the dugout.

Sorry. But I KNEW that was coming. I really did.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Burnes on 3 days rest tomorrow?

 

Not a chance. It'll be Lauer unless they have to use him today.

[Guest]

Everyone saw that coming but CC I guess.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'll restate though, if score 0, I guess Counsell doesn't make any difference. You can't score 2 runs in 3 games. Pathetic showing at the worst possible time which was unfortunately quite predictable. Both teams struggled to hit but the team with an actual offense got more timely hits.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

You don't have 3 aces when you treat one of them like a 5th starter. Freddy delivered all year and they pull him when his stuff was as good as it's been all season.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yeah, this is where the randomness of October gets you.

 

Bad luck on a couple of hard hit balls, and then a guy catches up to a pitch you wouldn't have wanted anywhere else.

 

Baseball is cruel, man. It is very cruel.

[Jopal78]

Fire Counsell, what an absolute douche. Good Job

 

haha

[adambr2]

I doubt this series makes it back to Milwaukee. Braves have just looked like the better baseball team all series.

 

It doesn't matter how good your starting pitching is if you're scoring less than 2 runs per game, you're not going to win in October.

[owbc]

There's a big difference between an awful decision and a debatable decision that backfires.

[mtrebs]

Didn’t Pederson kill us in the 2018 NLCS too?

[KeithStone53151]

I honestly really think it might be Burnes tomorrow if we lose this one.

[mtrebs]

Might as well pitch Gustave now.

[Guest]

If we're still playing to win this game Houser needs to come out fast. If we're punting for tomorrow, that's a dangerous decision in a 5 game series.

[MrTPlush]

Fire Counsell, what an absolute douche. Good Job

 

I think you need to turn off the TV and get some fresh air.

 

Tell someone who cares

The Brewers were without a doubt the better looking team in Game 1.

[BruisedCrew]

Remind me why Joc Pederson was booed so roundly in Milwaukee.

 

He certainly has gotten the last laugh.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I honestly really think it might be Burnes tomorrow if we lose this one.

 

I'd go Lauer then Woody for a couple. It's his side day anyway.

[titletownking]

To think our 5th best starter in the rotation just cost us this series is absolutely sickening. Beginning to believe we will never win a World Series.

[owbc]

I see no upside to Burnes starting tomorrow. You still have to win game 5.

[roadcrew3]

Don't think it was an awful decision at all, just worked out awfully.

 

This team has scored 2 runs through 2 games and it was on a homerun, they have generated absolutely nothing on offense, so when you have 2nd and 3rd with no outs, you have to do all you can to push runs across. Especially with Houser available in the pen. Houser obviously isn't pitching well but let's not act like this was foreseen, the guy was lights out to end the season so much so that many on this board thought he should be a starter.

 

Not a bad decision just worked out really poorly this time

[PlayerHader]

First time following an in-game thread...think I'll retire after this one. It's like watching at the bar with reactionary fans, but I don't have a beer.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Yeah, this is where the randomness of October gets you.

It's not random. Our rag tag scrubs can't hit and they have 30+ bomb guys up and down the line. They hit a few bombs and we rejoice when we get a single. Aces are great but can't win with literally 0 runs.

[adambr2]

If we're still playing to win this game Houser needs to come out fast. If we're punting for tomorrow, that's a dangerous decision in a 5 game series.

 

You really think we're scoring 4 runs in the remainder of this game? They really don't have a choice but to punt for tomorrow and it'll be all hands on deck for Games 4 and 5. They're not winning this game now.

[KeithStone53151]

I see no upside to Burnes starting tomorrow. You still have to win game 5.

 

Woodruff is on normal rest for game 5...
