I think going Lauer is smart, I like the lineup for as creative as CC would ever be. Urias over Escobar I've made very clear that I like. I was looking at Morton's pitch chart from game 1, he was outside the zone an awful lot. He was basically fastballs upper half of the zone or higher, and curveballs lower half of the zone or lower at about a 56/42 split. 2 percent registered as other stuff, not worth considering. Against a guy like that, especially one missing the zone a lot, I think you sit on a specific pitch in a specific zone until 2 strikes.

I disagree. It's stupid on the Braves' part. In his career he's been terrible against left-handed pitching. Better this year, but a small sample. Statistically it's probably not smart, but pearl boy is a streaky hitter in general. I've picked him up and dropped him plenty in fantasy baseball this year and played his streaks. If he's seeing it well, it might not be THAT stupid. The Braves manager it sounds like goes with his gut/feel vs analysis more often than he should...which is absolutely fine with me.
-
Pearl boy in the lineup today against a lefty. That's a bit nerve-wracking...

https://www.baseball-reference.com/tools/share.fcgi?id=nIQmy This shows playoff starts from 2000 to 2013 on short rest. I tried creating a version of this through 2021 myself but you have to pay $8/month to subscribe to that section of baseball reference and I'm way too cheap for that.
-
Worth noting, it should be obvious but only studs are starting on short rest. Guys like Scherzer, Kluber, Sabathia, etc. You're talking about a sample that includes almost all ace starting pitchers.
-
The braves will have Fried in a potential game 5 on regular rest. Beyond Burnes the Brewers could use Woodruff for a potential game 5 as well if needed.
-
My unapologetic hot take of the day. The Brewers score early, and score at least 4 today.
-
Soft contact = single. we'll take it.
-
Lol this is frankly hilarious, why the heck is he not just grooving pitches to Peterson...?
-
So probably Jace to lead off the inning here, I like that a lot actually. Find a way to get on base...
-
Hasn't hit the mitt once, but still seems to hit the zone almost every time. Maddening. Well that's the thing, he was grooving fastballs to Urias on 0-2. No way is he trying to do that, the catcher i believe was set up at the letters. Unfortunately we didn't punish those pitches too much...
-
Matzek is really struggling with his release point, but this still isn't looking great obviously
-
Oh come on.....i really thought we had a run there.....
-
I'm a bit surprised Matzek keeps attacking with the count in his favor so heavily...
-
Nice to see the Braves poor defensive outfield hurt them. Whew we'll take that one...
-
Monday morning quarterbacking? Before that inning started you were already pining for Counsell to remove Peralta. Of course you're going to defend it regardless of how poorly it worked out because you didn't want Atlanta getting more looks at him. That's despite the fact he's had no trouble either this year or in his entire career the 3rd time through. It's also despite the fact that Atlanta wasn't exactly haven't much success against him. And it also ignores the fact that the alternatives to giving Atlanta repeat looks against Peralta were sending in guys the Braves had already seen this series. Some of us expressed not wanting Peralta to be pulled early BEFORE that situation even came up. Some of us look awfully correct right now. You look awfully incorrect right now so you call it MMQB'ing. Because it's a convenient deflection. Well right in this one case it worked out poorly. I think CC played the odds correctly and statistically he made the correct move.
-
You aren't arguing with anyone. In fact, I would imagine that most agree with you. Yes, Peralta should have stayed in. Most said that. Even if Peralta pitching is less likely to yield runs against, we had a great scoring opportunity and letting him hit has almost no chance of getting a run in.
-
Alternately, what's the point of coming to a Brewers forum to complain about people complaining. I can send you a box of tissues if needed. The attacking of other fans is getting ridiculous. I came here to talk about the game, not read 70 posts of people whining that we don't score 10 runs a game. Nobody wants to read that crap...
-
It's called monday morning quarterbacking. If Vogel slaps one down the line and we score 2, and Houser pitches effectively...then CC is a genius. That outcome was probably more likely than the outcome that happened. That'd be like, why didn't Kershaw just walk Woodruff in the playoffs instead of pitching to him and allowing a hr. CC played the odds and lost, but his decision-making was correct in this case.
-
Except for a couple of games against the Cubs, the offense has been routinely weak. What's the point of arguing about who pitches tomorrow, when nobody is going to score? Overcoming a 1-run lead is a big ask for this team. Overcoming a 3-run lead in the playoffs looks like trying to climb Denali in flip-flops. Misery. And Yelich is back to taking strikes again. MISERY I tell you! What's the point of coming to a Brewers forum to cry and complain? I can send you a box of tissues if needed... The negativity is getting ridiculous. It's one thing to question and disagree with a decision...it's quite another to read the 70th post about how horrible the offense is. Just turn it off if you can't stand to watch it
-
The Brewers had multiple base runners against every reliever they've faced this series so far except the 7th inning in game 1.
-
Woodruff is on normal rest for game 5...
-
I honestly really think it might be Burnes tomorrow if we lose this one.
-
Oh dear that's really bad. we better get to their bullpen...
-
Of course Joc is ph after swanson, hit the hr off houser game 1.
