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]

[Bulldogboy]

Blue is a Braves fan. Incredible so far.

[adambr2]

Anyone else noticing blue just all of the sudden opening up the corners for business after not calling them once for us?

[Baldkin]

Wow. None of those were a strike in the first

[HarveysWBs]

Same pitch lauer just backwards K’d on was a ball last half inning, but cool, cool.

[TURBO]

I wish he was hitting off the bench, frankly.

Yes! A pinch hit walkoff ground out would probably do wonders for Yeli. I like the way you think!

 

In all seriousness, I don't understand why CC didn't sit Yeli for the remainder of the season post playoff clinch. The guy needs a reset or something. Maybe a Coke and a Smile. I dunno. He's just not right.

 

Nice hit LoCain!

 

Fixed it for you.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Does anyone think that Yelich has a single ounce of confidence in himself?

 

I think mentally, he is a mess.

 

Visually he looks like a massive mess when batting. He just looks defeated after poor swings and K’s…more so than he did in 2018-2019.

 

Maybe I am wrong…but seems like it.

 

Probably for multiple reasons, his timing is just way out of whack and it doesn't look like his legs are in his swing at all....that side angle of his swinging 3rd strike looked like his legs, waist, arms, and hands were all working opposite of each other instead of being sync'ed.

[PinaMadness]

They finally steal a base and it's when the pitcher is hitting with two outs.

[Fear The Chorizo]

screw this ump

[DuWayne Steurer]

Morton at almost 40 pitches after 2. That bodes well, if nothing else.

[adambr2]

Piss off, umpire. Just piss off. Replace you with a robot, please.

[MrTPlush]

Game day says we have two different strikes zones today.

 

We got two calls in our favor that inning and zero not in our favor.

 

I don’t see the problem.

[Slippery_Pete]

I really can't stand listening to these announcers

I appreciate our homer announcers a lot more every time I have to listen to these knobs.

 

Not cool having Jeff Francoeur as the lead analysis for these games. He played many years with the Braves and ended his career there. Now is lead analyst for Braves telecasts. It would be like having Rock as a lead analyst for these games, I'm sure the Braves fans would be thrilled.

[owbc]

Yeli's approach has been pretty good. I don't think he swings at more balls than he did in 2019. That's why he is OPSing in the mid-.700s and not the mid-.500s. Swing mechanics are the issue...he hasn't been the same since the injury.

[PinaMadness]

Morton at almost 40 pitches after 2. That bodes well, if nothing else.

How sad that the offense is so pathetic that we're begging for high pitch counts and avoiding double plays.

[TURBO]

When has getting to the Braves bullpen helped us in this series?

 

Everyone wants Morton out soon, but what's the difference, we haven't hit their bullpen either.

[Nola Beery]

Does anyone think that Yelich has a single ounce of confidence in himself?

 

I think mentally, he is a mess.

 

I sure would be.

 

I think Yelich's mental toughness is a lot stronger than most on this board...at least based on so many of these IGT posts

 

You had to know that coming in. Still, he's human, and he knows he's not at his best. That's no fun for any of us. Fortunately, the mentality of bums like me doesn't matter.

[titletownking]

Yelich is sooo bad.

[BruisedCrew]

The Brewers are well on their way to joining the 1966 Dodgers as the only teams in the last century to get shutout in 3 straight postseason games.

 

That Dodgers team lost the first game of the World Series 5-2 to the Orioles before getting shut out in the next 3, two of them by 1-0 scores.

[MrTPlush]

Yelich can’t do anything worthwhile.

[TURBO]

Yeli's approach has been pretty good.

 

ok then...............

[jonescm128]

They finally steal a base and it's when the pitcher is hitting with two outs.

 

Just makes our RISP numbers look worse too

[owbc]

I'll cut him some slack on that one with the sun.

[adambr2]

The minute I saw Yelich closing in on that I was expecting him to hilariously fall flat on his face and he did not disappoint.

Sir, it is the 2nd inning.

2nd highest OBP on the team.
