Exactly. I guess it's possible, but it's unlikely this insane, lights-out pitching will continue every game. Pitchers give up runs. So as soon as somebody does, it will be all, "Counsell is over-managing! Blah blah blah. They don't have good enough starting pitching. Blah blah vomit." It could just be someone had a bad game.

And by the way, if you ever do this down here in Atlanta, I'm totally there.
-
If all goes well (not necessarily saying shutout, but just solid pitching and hitting), I could envision Gio for 3-4, Woodruff for 2-3, and Burnes for 2-3 and that's it. Maybe Hader for a batter, maybe Guerra for an inning. Obviously, it's all dependent on things going our way. I feel like we're bound to have a normal 6-3 loss somewhere, but it hasn't happened yet.

My brother works for Delta in Atlanta (which is where I am) and is actually considering trying to fly out there.

You know, my wife keeps telling me I need to take some time off and do something for myself. Then again, the kids have early release days because of parent-teacher conferences this week, so unfortunately, I need to do the responsible thing and be a parent. Really cool of you to be so generous with your time!

I fully anticipate non-Brewers fans criticizing Counsell if the Dodgers score a lot of runs in either one of the next two games. "See? You can't get away with it forever!" In the meantime, if a bad game happens, it's probably just because it's a bad game against a great lineup. Hell, if Brewers pitchers give up 3 runs in 6 innings, it will look like a blowup, the way this postseason has gone.
-
This. Even though A-Rod and Papi retired fairly recently, they still have an old school mindset and are having trouble wrapping their heads around a team doing something differently. I don't think they are rooting for the Dodgers, they're just surprised how much - aside from a couple innings - how much the Brewers are owning them.

This was a good sports day. -
As I said earlier, JJ's stuff looked great. Breakaball was nasty, fastball was 96, cutter was tailing incredibly. He just wasn't get the pitches where he wanted them until the last three guys.
-
CC can't be afraid to bring in his closer, who has been fantastic all year, when it's 4-0. He should also not be afraid to take him out when he doesn't have it. Certainly.

Doesn't help that JJ is getting squeezed.
-
He's not locating at all. Every pitch before the double looked good stuff-wise. Then he hangs one. If he at least locates it, he can get away with a hanger.
-
JJ's stuff looks great. Wasn't hitting his spots on that first AB. Still got Turner to hit a billion-hopper.
-
If I believed in jinxes, I would not like that they already have Braun lined up for the post-game studio interview.
-
"Must've called the hitter out?" Yes. Cain swung and missed.
-
How about a dinger and bring in Peralta?
-
BREAKING NEWS: "Blocked by Grandal."
-
Hell, if they pitch well (I'm not saying shutout, necessarily, just "well"), you get through game 4 or 5 with Gio/Miley, Woodruff, and Barnes and that's it. I wouldn't worry about burning Hader here. I also wouldn't worry about bringing someone else in.
-
Tangent: I wish the GWRBI stat would come back. I used to like seeing it in the box score when I was a kid. Don't know why, probably because GWRBI looks funny and I was but a boy.
-
Which move? The "dab." It's yesterday's news.
-
They don't have to win a game without Hader pitching. If they go on and win this, he can sit out two games and we can still win the series. Gotta win the games when he DOES pitch, though.

I love it when Soria drops down nearly sidearm.
