Oh man, is Greg Amsinger being idiotic on MLB Network. He wants Hader to start Game 7 because he wants the Brewers pitcher with the best stuff going against Buehler, who has the best stuff on the Dodgers. Plesac and Reynolds are chiding him, saying the Dodgers would love that because it gets Hader out of the game within three innings. Amsinger kept reiterating that Buehler has the best stuff on the Dodgers (which is not incorrect) and asked the two former players if they think Chacin can match him. Both of them without hesitation said yes. Amsinger had a non-verbal reaction like, "Oh man, I don't know about that." Um, dummy, Chacin outpitched Buehler earlier in the series. Threw a shutout. Clearly he can match him. Don't get me wrong - it is going to be REALLY hard to score against Buehler. He could easily run over us, making our strong bullpen meaningless. It is possible that Chacin has a bad game. Hell, he could just have an ok game and we could lose because Buehler is so good. But damn, Amsinger needs to settle down.

It's really been a fun series from a baseball intellectual standpoint. -
I hate it when batters get HBP essentially because they are already stepping in to swing.
-
The bottom line is with a three-run lead, you need Dodger outs. You don't need Brewer runs. You WANT Brewer runs, but you need outs more. Knebel is a better option than other relievers, so you keep him in. It's not an easy decision, but it makes sense. Is it better than the alternative? Who knows?
-
Hey, it was a tough decision.
-
Fewer than two outs he definitely pinch hits there.
-
I could see either decision. Both have their merits. Looks like Counsell is more concerned about getting Dodgers hitters out - and is confident in Knebel being able to do so for another inning - than scoring more runs right now. Plus, realistically, the odds are low that Santana would drive one in there.
-
This cat and mouse is fun.
-
On the one hand, please let Urias hit. On the other hand, his stuff is nasty, please pinch hit for him.
-
I really enjoy watching him (and not just because he was the hero to send my alma mater to the CWS a few years ago). He is very aggressive at the plate, but not a hacker - he still tends to make good contact most of the time.
-
Hell, let's not turn into Green Bay's offense with a big lead, either.
-
Well, if we only give up one run the entire game, we'll win!
-
The only pitchers that would be saved would be long relievers who pitched a lot the last couple games and need an extra day of rest. All the short relievers would clearly be a go. Obviously, if it goes extras and someone HAS to pitch, then they'll pitch. Hopefully we score some runs so all of this matters. And as for the question about Kershaw, I don't think he would pitch today, but he would totally go an inning or two tomorrow if they need him. Game 7 is anyone whose arm isn't about to fall off.

I hope all of you in Milwaukee enjoy your free George Webb burgers after April 2, 2019.

Miller Park Environment for NLCS Games 6 & 7

By the way: NLCS Game 6 and Bucks regular season arena opener starting at the same time? Fun night to be in Milwaukee! -
And as has been said, were it not for two baserunning (though understandable) boners by Yelich, Braun's numbers look a lot better.

Miller Park Environment for NLCS Games 6 & 7
dlk9s replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Hey, I'm with you. If I had tickets to both Games 6 and 7, I could totally see selling Game 6 and hoping for a Game 7. I mean, even if I didn't have to commit half a day to the game, deal with traffic and parking, and spend a ton of money, the downside as a fan to Game 6 is much greater than the upside. Best case scenario (amazing walk-off ending notwithstanding) is that I'm relieved that we won and get to play another day. Downside is I have to watch the Dodgers celebrate at Miller Park. It's a totally different story if we were up 3-2. -

As long as somebody is trying their best, they don't deserve to be booed. -
Santana definitely needs to be in the lineup and Yelich needs to be moved way down the order.
