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]

[True Blue Brew Crew]

Bummer they removed Morton there. He was missing the mitt by feet, not inches, on his fastball. All they had to do as hitters was let the spinners go by. Let's work this pen now.

[Lostpawn]

Wow. Competent offensive baseball is being played. Not sure how to react.

[folly412]

[sarcasm]Runs! There will be a moral victory at a minimum today![/sarcasm]

[Nola Beery]

I think I just saw a sacrifice. OK!

[Eye Black]

OMG we scored! Everyone, pour yourself a beer!

Two runs, I’m going to make it a double IPA.

[jjfanec]

Haha. Blue missed that one

[DuWayne Steurer]

Time for a big hit Willy. Bust this thing right open.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Oh my god, please, 1 more hit. I know I'm getting greedy.

[TURBO]

Juice 'em up for Adames!

[Eye Black]

Now I’m feeling greedy.

[mtrebs]

Come on Adames!!!

I don't understand Counsell at all this series. You pull Peralta there but have Lauer bunt?

 

I think Peralta was looking much better yesterday than Lauer does today.

[nate82]

This umpire is just bad. How did he make it onto the playoffs crew?

[adambr2]

This umpire is bad all around.

I hated pulling Peralta but I think this was different and the right call. After the 2nd run scored it was a no-brainer.

Already got 2 in during the inning. Anything else at this point is just gravy.

If the Brewers would have scored before Peralta came up to bat he would have stayed in but they didn't so had to pull him to try and get some offense.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Ugh, the first and third strikes to Willy were just really good pitches.

[MoreTrife]

Such a bad strike call for the moment.

He's second-guessing himself ... that's what I see.

[Bulldogboy]

Man happy but one more hit would have been huge. Why leave it to blue when he has been horrible??

[ReverendBrewmeister]

At least a couple runs got in.

 

Need a shutdown inning from Lauer.

[adambr2]

Darn. 2 is nice in comparison to what we've gotten later, but 4 or so would have really helped ease the tension in this one.

Yep - and if the Brewers hadn't scored yet there, I think Lauer gets hit for.

Can't be taking pitches that are close with two strikes ... frustrating.
