  1. Love stranding that runner, obviously. But the fastball location is leaving much to be desired from Lauer. Gotta clean that up, especially if blue isn’t going to do him any favors.
  2. We did not have a choice. Sorry, I don't believe that. We are mismanaged. We are outmanaged. Burnes admitted he was not physically ready to pitch today.
  3. Tough, I would have looked curve there too, but yeah, missing another center cut FB is brutal.
  4. Woody on four days rest, in an elimination game, is probably only going five, if you’re lucky. Houser is probably toast, and no Suter. Yeah, that’s pretty much a bullpen game.
  5. Keeping Pederson on the bench has led to four out of the 7 runs that ATL has scored in the series. I still think you go Burnes for game 4 and relieve him with Lauer. Burnes is your number 1. You pitch him in an elimination game if you can. I get it. There’s no good answers, and you have to get to game 5 for it to matter. But a fully rested Morton against our offense while we throw a bullpen game in game 5 is not appetizing.
  6. .275 is a pretty good batting average these days. This team has two guys with an OPS over .800 and zero with an OPS over .900. Zero elite hitters of any kind. They are depending on a bunch of .700-something OPS guys to come up with crucial hits against a quality postseason opponent. Again, not that I think now is the best time for this discussion, but from a roster construction standpoint, if you can’t have it all (and the Brewers can’t, because it’s an unfair game), it’s a lot more plausible expecting to catch postseason lightning in a bottle with average hitters than average pitchers. It’s not working out so far, but I get why the team is constructed as is.
  7. There’s a break. Nice to see you ball a little, Escobar
  8. They had second and third with nobody out when they've been scoring nothing and they came up completely empty. There is no silver lining. They could just as easily go down 1-2-3 next inning. We've stunk at scoring runs with runners at 3rd and less than 2 outs all damn seadon long. Why should this postseason be any different? They’ve actually been really good in that spot this year. Over 1.0 ops, fwiw.
  9. Atta boy, Strickland. Rest of the bullpen needs to keep doing its job. I think they’re up to the task.
  10. I wouldn’t want Stearns’ job (or Counsell’s for that matter). To do what he has done consistently with these resources defies belief, and it still all comes down to a handful of flukey games in October. I guess you just keep trusting the process. There will be plenty of time for a post-mortem when the body is actually, you know, without a pulse. Have to still find a way to grind out some runs.
  11. Of course. Wasn’t even a strike. Wasn’t even in his wheelhouse. Houser is a ground ball pitcher… I hate this game.
