2021-10-12 (NLDS Game #4): Brewers (Lauer) at Braves (Morton) [Brewers lose, 5-4 -- Freeman’s 8th inning HR off Hader breaks tie, and hearts]

[rickh150]

On pace for five hour game.

[MrTPlush]

So I guess we're just going to lose instead of going unconventional. Gotta save Hader for the 9th.

 

Fun fact, three years ago today Josh Hader pitched three innings…5th through 7th in game one of the NLDS

[Joseph Zarr]

Man what a frustrating inning for Ashby. His stuff has been fine outside of the 4 pitch walk.

[TURBO]

It just irks me that he made zero attempt to move out of the way yet is awarded 1B.

[stoutdude04]

High strike? Clearly a strike. Lol

[MrTPlush]

Wish our hitters were that smart, especially in this offensive funk.

[treego14]

I dunno the announcers seemed pretty excited for that Tellez HR.

 

Huh? Francouer, former Brave, seemed dejected. He clearly seems to be pulling for the Braves to me.

Can we get a former Brewer in that booth? Where's Nyjer Morgan?

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

More weak contact gets the run home. I really wish they'd throw out of the strike zone on 0-2, but let's limit the damage to one.

 

Or throw 98 up

 

Yeah, I just don't understand the 0-2 gameplan so far. All have been strikes and it's cost the Brewers three runs.

[jjfanec]

High strike? Clearly a strike. Lol

 

Haha. Just yelled the same thing at the tv

[stoutdude04]

This game is really frustrating.

[owbc]

Hader pitched 3 innings in game 7 of the NLCS and then the bullpen blew the game after he came out. You have to cover all 9 innings.

[roadcrew3]

It's going to be a struggle getting to Josh today...really need Ashby to get out of this and cover another inning

[adambr2]

Travis freaking D'Arnaud. Great work, Ashby.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Ugh. This is why I wanted one more from Strickland, but Ash had to pitch eventually. So, I don't know. Tough situation for a rookie.

[stoutdude04]

Just under his glove. Crap.

[The stache]

This team just can't ever make things easy. They just can't. Offense finally shows up, and now the pitching is choking.

[Nola Beery]

Crap! We're behind 4-4

[treego14]

Not pitching Burnes in this game is a travesty.

[Bulldogboy]

The mismanagement of this series by Counsell is not going to get the attention it deserves but he has been bad.

[adambr2]

Hader pitched 3 innings in game 7 of the NLCS and then the bullpen blew the game after he came out. You have to cover all 9 innings.

 

A few innings from Corbin Burnes would have helped accomplish that.

[PinaMadness]

Once again, a tough spot to put a rookie in. I'm not sure there was a better option though.

[TURBO]

Crap! We're behind 4-4

 

 

ok, this made me laugh.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Not pitching Burnes in this game is a travesty.

 

Scoring 4 runs and then being unable to pitch is a travesty.

[roadcrew3]

The mismanagement of this series by Counsell is not going to get the attention it deserves but he has been bad.

 

What would you have done instead? You seem to have an anti-Counsell agenda but have never offered up what you would like to see before it happens

[PinaMadness]

Hader pitched 3 innings in game 7 of the NLCS and then the bullpen blew the game after he came out. You have to cover all 9 innings.

 

A few innings from Corbin Burnes would have helped accomplish that.

Once again, Burnes said himself he's not available. Why are we talking about it like it was an option?
