I mean when a guy gets pulled 3 outs away from a no-hitter, for any team and player, there's obviously going to be many fans that are disappointed with that decision.

If it comes down to Woody or Corbin

Burnes. -
Cain's catch was way better. Yount's dive was almost completely unnecessary and almost theatrical. What about Jace Peterson's catch??? Peterson's catch was awesome, but it's not a hit if he doesn't get to it. So there's a big difference there.
-
I understand the decision. I wish he had let him just go for it. Sometimes I think you have to look beyond the raw numbers. Adrenaline kicks in. He looked great in the 8th. He said after the game he didn't feel like he was slowing down at all and felt better in the 7th and 8th than the middle innings. I don't know. I get it, but I think if you were ever going to find a time and a place to make an exception to the rule...this was it. It very very likely would not have had any impact.
-
How much pressure was on Hader? That is not your typical save situation.
-
Good zone by this ump tonight. So many umps penalize when a strike isn't caught in a way that "looks" good despite being a strike. One called strike outside to Narvaez was about the only obvious miss I recall. Agreed. I appreciate an ump that isn't fooled when a good pitch is caught badly.
-
Burnes knew he was never getting the 9th. Said he had to lobby hard to get the 8th.
-
Burnes looked genuinely stoked and not the least bit subdued. Pretty cool to see.
-
Calm down Straw. Good call.
-
I don't think Burnes was coming out for the 9th whether it was 3-0 or 9-0.
-
"I doubt Tellez makes that play" Was that a fat jab, Rock?
-
Disagree completely. A no-hitter is a no-hitter. And the Brewers haven't had one, combined or not, since 1987. Ah, I dunno. It still matters yes. It's definitely not as special as an individual one.
-
I mean, a bigger fan milestone is making and winning a WS, which we're much less likely to do without Burnes, or with him ineffective. Eh. Again, he looked strong in the 8th. I really doubt he's suddenly going to be lost with 10 more pitches. It doesn't hurt anything to have Hader loose and go to him the moment he gives up a baserunner.
-
Yeah, I mean he already has gone 115. I really don't know what difference there is going to be between 115 or 130 to just see what happens. You're going to give him a couple extra days off most likely anyway. Maybe Hader's agent called and reminded Craig that it's a save situation.
-
Burnes seemed OK with the decision. I hope he genuinely is.
-
Meh. I know it's high but. ...he looked strong in the 8th. I would understand more if he looked really shaky in the 8th.
-
You can't be serious....
-
I was going to say, don't you dare play it safe on anything hit to the OF right now.
-
Counsell hates this. Lol.
-
I feel bad for whatever Brewer reliever has to enter this game if it's still a no-no.
-
I would like a quick Vogelslam here to put this out of reach and then a quick one pitch out so Burnes can get back out there.
-
If he leaves Burnes in to throw 130 pitches, and his arm is shot, the rest of us aren't going to be happy. Gotta be smart, and wearing out your ace in a relatively meaningless September game isn't the way to do it. It's a balancing act. I understand what you are saying but it's not a meaningless game right now for Corbin Burnes. I think Counsell has to both keep an eye on the bigger picture while also respecting the moment and the individual in that moment. Not an easy balance.
-
It's all situational. If he walks the first 2 guys in the 8th and is at 115 pitches I sure hope they would pull him.
-
There's no way he's going 9. If this somehow ends up being a no-no it will be a combined no-no.
-
He's about out of gas.
