I felt so relieved when they got out of it, but in the moment, Ashby down 3-1 to Tucker, one ball away from bases loaded nobody out, was the most dread and anxiety that I felt during this game.
-
I thought it was a mistake that they didn’t go to the bench for Ortiz with the bases loaded. We’ll never know if Bauers hits a Grand Slam there, or also gets out anyway. I am ok with that.
-
I still think Ashby will be on the NLCS roster. Gasser is almost certainly not going to be.
-
I actually think they’re a lot better positioned in part because of what they experienced this series, in the end I think they benefited more from this going all the way than a 3 game sweep. You can’t substitute the experience of the road game hostility that they went through in Game 4.
-
Brewers. If not the Brewers, anyone but the Dodgers.
-
One thing I did definitely not expect tonight - not one single substitution.
-
Yeah I agree. You have to rest him for game 1 but I would probably have him throw a few innings in Game 2. My faith in playoff Ashby is pretty shaken right now although he did make one of the most important singular pitches today. Every other pitcher was fantastic today.
-
No matter what happens, the monkey is off our back. We aren’t the chokers who can’t win a playoff series. It's over. And that’s going to give all these guys more confidence going forward. Also, I’m not saying we win the NLCS, but I’ll say one thing — I think we are going to be a better team for what we went through in Games 3 and 4 this series. And hopefully a better road team.
-
I am so freaking happy. I don’t even care what happens next week. I know I will feel differently next week.
-
You have two runs tonight because Blake Perkins and Joey Ortiz are your 8/9 hitters and you have given them repeated opportunities to hit in high leverage scoring situations tonight. If you lose this game, that is the story.
-
Turang has been so disappointing.
-
Needed for what? There is literally no bigger opportunity than coming up with the bases loaded.
-
I’d rather be up 4-1 with Mona than have Joey’s defense up 2-1.
-
Literally the one time all year I wanted Murphy to go to Jake Bauers in the worst way and he stuck with Ortiz. I will feel sick if that comes back to haunt us.
-
Has nothing to do with Turang’s postseason performance or being “soft”. Pomeranz is a lefty killer. I was hoping we’d stack some RHB against him in the 1st.
-
Pomeranz is pretty strictly a 1 inning guy. So with Vaughn at #5 you probably won’t even benefit from him facing Pomeranz, you’ll likely see a righty on the mound and have burned the first ABs of Turang and Yelich against a lefty specialist. Yeah, I just don’t like this strategy at all.
-
Unfortunately because of Chourio’s hammy it sounds like him in CF is out of the question right now.
-
You’re not going to start Bauers over Vaughn especially with a lefty opener. He’ll get into the game in some capacity later.
-
So we have two lefties in our top 4 against Pomeranz, including Turang batting #2… (sigh)… guess we can forget about jumping out to a great start tonight. Ortiz at SS, so still have the black hole of Perkins/Ortiz at 8/9. At least Chourio is leading off. J Chourio (R) LF B Turang (L) 2B W Contreras (R) C C Yelich (L) DH A Vaughn (R) 1B S Frelick (L) RF C Durbin (R) 3B B Perkins (S) CF J Ortiz (R) SS
-
I probably will not sleep at all tonight regardless, it’s just a matter of whether it will be from exhilaration or somber depression.
-
I mean… by design, your highest leverage relievers are better than your best starting pitchers. Just in shorter spurts. We’re just desperately trying to have a clean start and go from there. I don’t know what being a two pitch pitcher has to do with anything. Most high leverage relievers are. Don’t get me wrong, it could go bad. But anyone could. We’ve used our best starting pitcher twice, our second best starting pitcher once, and our best lefty reliever once. Nothing has worked.
-
Yeah I wouldn’t bat Turang inside the top 5. I think you can make a case for him at 9 if Mona starts for Ortiz. I can understand how you could still make the case for Yelich at #3,
-
I like it for the regular season. I don’t think that’s going to put up a threat in the 1st against Pomeranz.
-
So with Pomeranz starting, do we load up on righties in the lineup early on? Would it be absolutely crazy to start Mona, put him in the 2 hole between Chourio and Contreras, bat Vaughn cleanup and then switch Mona out for Ortiz maybe after his 2nd AB? Maybe even a double switch later to move Ortiz’ spot all the way down the order? Do we really want to waste the first ABs of Yelich and Turang against a reliever that obliterates lefties? Lot to consider here.
-
I hope people are right about Yelich, but I guess I don’t know why anyone expects something big from him in a big moment just because he’s been here the most. With all respect intended for Yelich, he’s never exactly been Mr. October. Not bad, just nothing exceptional. Less power, more OBP, small sample size, of course. Smaller sample size, but Jackson Chourio has been the guy you want at the plate in October.
