Brewers-Cubs NLDS Game One Thread, By The Numbers

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Turang can't come up with the big 2-out hit again. Two K's in that spot. About the only complaint with offensive performance so far.

(Chourio injury is another matter.)

Can he be replaced on the roster if he's out the rest of the series?

Yes.

[jason21nl]

It’s just so disappointing.  Injuries have derailed the season too often.  They absolutely need him. 

[adambr2]

Can’t watch, did it look bad or is there any chance it’s more of a “precautionary with a big lead” type thing?

[liveforoctober]

What are the injured list rules for the playoffs? If we sit chourio is he under the same guidelines as the regular season in terms of days or can he be available to us toward the nlcs?

[Fear The Chorizo]

The optimist in me is hoping he comes out there because the Brewers are already up 8 and there's zero need to risk anything the rest of today if he felt any sort of twinge going down the line.

The Brewers fan in my just shakes my head with a "we can't have nice things vibe"

Gotta wonder if Rys is still in town.

Eh, maybe.  He wasn't really walking badly, but he banged his helmet a couple of times, making me think it may be serious.

He didn’t reach for anything but when he came off the field they had a dugout shot of him and he was pissed

He didn’t grab for it, but looked frustrated.

Some of the Brewers podcasters were talking about that topic earlier this week. Apparently a replacement on the roster in the Division Series makes that player ineligible for the League Championship Series, but could return for the World Series.

Cubs still holding the lead in HRs today though....and they do own the tiebreaker

LOL - can they just call "Uncle" and go have a nice dinner ??

Hoping the removal of Chourio was being cautious with a 9-1 lead

Concerned it is his hamstring once again

Didn’t look terrible but he took his helmet off in frustration and body language just look like he deflated.  Could tell he knew he was coming out.  He wasn’t limping badly or anything but his body language wasn’t good.

That is what I am thinking he didn’t grab at his leg at all, so my hope is more precautionary than anything. 
 

as for replacing him on NLDS roster I think you can and then NLCS is completely separate so wouldn’t have to deal with same regular season IL rules. 

[Bulldogboy]

Collins needs to use these ab to get back in Murphy vision. Lockridge up next.

[jason21nl]

9-1 lead and you’re walking dudes.   

[Fear The Chorizo]

Busch seems way too comfortable in the box - thinking his third at bat needs to include a few pitches to adjust that

[MoreTrife]

Trying to be optimistic and he was frustrated that he was coming out. But he wasn't insisting he was fine very hard so who knows.

My hunch is that they're just being careful with him.

Need Freddy to throw strikes!

[RobertCrawley]

That ump is killing me.

He never reached or grabbed at the Hammy... so I don't think that was it.

Looked like he stepped funny on first. So maybe a tweaked ankle?

He walked off totally normal though, so... I think it might be just that. You have Collins, 9-1 game, make sure he's alright. With the off-days? I'm hoping that's all it is. 

[RobertCrawley]

How often has Freddy gone 0-2 then nibbled to a full count?
