  1. Lots of reactions and questions for CC…. How our 3rd string catcher is in at the end of two playoff games is really surprising. How Woodruff was not gone to right away after Lauer is troubling. He’s available and we are messing around with guys on base with our 10th and 11th best pitchers? How Hader was not relied upon for two tonight is headshakingly wrong. Strickland threw more innings this series. Why we didn’t pinch run Escobar in the 9th? Any good reason? Saving Bradley’s bat?
  2. Ashby and Small are reasons for excitement too.
  3. They scored 6 runs across four games. That has nothing to do with the manager, and is the main reason they lost. If anything Counsell got desperate and abandoned “pitching in defense” in Game 4 when he pinch hit Vogelbach for Peralta. The Brewers offense gave the pitchers no margin for error in two of the games, and tonight the Braves capitalized on their chances when they got them and the Brewers hitters didn’t; plain and simple. It has nothing to do with the manager. Had ample opportunity to steal a base with speed on bases in games 2, 3, and 4. A couple steals might have turned a game too.
  4. I have to agree with this. Rick, you’ve creating a conspiracy out of literally nothing other than your own assumptions. Unless there’s something that actually suggests there’s something to this, I’d suggest moving on at this point. Will move on…. Pitching only 8th in close out game. Would have led off 9th, unwilling to double switch for him to go more. Have to believe he is simply unwilling to go more, REGARDLESS the situation.
  5. Hader pitched the 8th just so he would have been pinch hit in 9th. Ha! What a complete joke of a situation there.
  6. Hader sitting on 1 inning pitched is looking crazier all the time with Strickland throwing three games. He is pitching tonight, right?
  7. Where was this mentioned? I have a hard time believing this was true. The White Sox game was over like at 10 P.M. Would MLB have changed the noon Brewers/Braves game on that short notice to fans? Many would have woken up Monday to news that they were getting a game 3 hours later. MLB.com show all hypothetical game time changes on their postseason schedule page. Oh. Where is this? Interested.
  8. It seemed pretty obvious…watch it later when it is all over and people are complaining. You should.
  9. If the Brewers would have scored before Peralta came up to bat he would have stayed in but they didn't so had to pull him to try and get some offense. He's second-guessing himself ... that's what I see. Na. He has the lead here. Way different, and a bunting situatuion taboot.
  10. Where was this mentioned? I have a hard time believing this was true. The White Sox game was over like at 10 P.M. Would MLB have changed the noon Brewers/Braves game on that short notice to fans? Many would have woken up Monday to news that they were getting a game 3 hours later.
  11. Bottom of 2nd, runners on 1st and 2nd, one out. Broken bat fly ball out to Yelich. He catches it. The runner at 2B had taken off on contact. Yelich lobs it to Wong who touches the base and tags Freeman, who was on 1st before, at about the same time….. If Wong would have tagged Freeman first, before touching the bag, the run would have been allowed to score UNLESS the team would have appealed the play (not left the field of play) to get a 4th needed out!!! Check it out…. Not talked about.
  12. Just go with your horses. Hader too. We have pitched 26 innings and Strickland is pitching more than Hader so far. No use to save them if it’s it tomorrow. Burnes and Hader tomorrow. Hader goes 2. Woody on Thursday with regular rest.
