  1. I know I'm not a professional baseball player, but I don't know how those two pitches fooled Braun. They were balls the entire way.
  2. You know things are backwards when you think, "Oh great, the top of the Brewers lineup is coming up."
  3. I don't feel like rewinding, but I think Burnes was well into his windup.
  4. There's definitely a reason why Hill has been in the majors for so long. It's that curve.
  5. You can click on a poster's name and on their profile page, click, "Foe" or whatever it is. YOU'D BETTER NOT BLOCK ME
  6. It's funny, watching Hill pitch reminds me of myself in high school. I had that big curve like he has, but more movement on my fastball. Big difference is - and this might be why I never pitched in the pros - my fastball was the same speed as his curveball. :P
  7. It was probably just some solidarity gesture he has with his teammates, like what everybody in the league does when they get on base.
  8. I haven't read the thread, but I'm assuming it's more that Gio looks like butt so far than the fact he gave up one run that is worrying people.
  9. I don't think it will be an issue in this series after tomorrow, as either a) we clinched or b) there's a day off. I think the only issue is during the three days in a row stretch.
  10. Based on what Counsell said (and just general logic), the Hader strategy last night was to ride the line between playing for one game and playing for the series. Playing for one game: Hader comes in with the game still fairly close, locks down another scoreless inning. One thing people are ignoring is that Counsell said that by putting in Hader, he got Muncy and Pederson out of the game. Now if their spots come around again (which would be bad, obviously, but it could happen), there are righties - Kemp and Freese - against the other righty relievers (and those two hitters aren't as dangerous as the ones they replaced). Playing for the series: Hader exits after two hitters. Now he's available today and/or tomorrow. 4-0 lead, even with JJ's shakiness, he should be trusted to not give up the lead. Plus, JJ appreciates the confidence Counsell is showing in him, which may help later (or may not matter, who knows). It was a sound strategy and just because JJ made things interesting, doesn't mean it didn't work. And even if JJ isn't available today, Counsell knows there are a ton of arms that are.
