Can't throw away scoring chances.
-
Huge steal if you can get a sac fly here..
-
Perez comes through!
-
Good AB Moose!
-
I'm ready for it. I think most are.
-
Yeah he's not having a good game.
-
The thing is Brew, all I said is that he isn't the guy you want up there like he was 7 years ago. Not a big deal. But you just can't resist the urge to argue or one up, ever. Which is why it's no shocker how many pissing matches with how many people you have here.
-
Good thing he checked his swing.
-
so dramatic. Because I said he's not the guy you want up there in that situation anymore? He's not. They walked the guy you want up there. Braun is like the 4th guy. But okay, Brew.
-
7 years ago not a guy you would have rather had up there. Not so much anymore.
-
Ok Braun. Here's your chance.
-
They wanted nothing to do with Yelich.
-
Because he had 2 strikes on him and had not come close to getting a bunt down on the first 2 pitches.
-
"Just bunt them over". Its never that simple.
-
Yesterday the Rockies were dodging bullets today it has been us so far.
-
It's a pitcher. He's leading off the inning. Just get 3 pitches over. You don't need to nibble. Good grief.
-
Wow Chacin. Walking the pitcher to lead off an inning in front of the top of the order. Just about the best way to ask for trouble.
-
Really hate this lineup today.
-
Aguilar. Guys. Stop swinging at high heat.
-
That was exaxtly the inning Chacin needed.
-
Game doesn't have a great feel to it so far, but that could change quickly.
-
Sheesh Braun. Pitch was at head height.
-
Burnes is not definitely unavailable, he threw 26 pitches. Jeffress has thrown once in the last 5 days. He's definitely available for multiple batters or a long 4 out save tomorrow. All these guys in the limited category are most likely just fine for tomorrow, each one had 2 days off coming into today and another one after the next game. Obviously there are certain guys they would prefer to avoid if possible but they would not have started with a bullpen game and carried 11 pitchers for the NLDS roster if they planned on being this restrictive with them. This is the playoffs, the rules are not the same. Obviously if a guy just can't go you have to deal with it, and that can happen, but for the most part these guys are not going to be unavailable, and the days off they get besides the team days off will come by happy circumstance, not by unavailability.

Yeah, I think he's the "in case of emergency" reliever tomorrow. But I have a tough time seeing him pitch at all. About the only way I think it happens is if the Brewers get out to a big early lead, and the Rockies start chipping away and make it close. It sure was fun watching him face Carlos Gonzalez, though. Gonzo looked like he wanted to be anyplace but in that batter's box. What a weapon! And the fun thing is, there are several others in that pen that are pitching comparably effective. Hader threw 20 pitches today, not an unreasonable workload. In late August he went back to back a day after throwing 24. He also had 2 prior days off and will be off Saturday. Don't think there will be any issue with using him tomorrow if needed.

Crating a narrative that the bullpen game was a bad idea. I mean I am critical of Counsell at times but they are clearly aware of what they are doing. I'm sure they were well aware that this could be a close game and that extras was possible. Pen-wise, I thought Counsell did a masterful job of managing things today. Perfect balance of getting the most out of everyone while not overworking them to the point where they wouldn't be available tomorrow. No one threw more than 26 pitches besides Woodruff. Ottavino was worked harder than any Brewer reliever today and I guarantee he'll be available tomorrow. After tomorrow everyone has a guaranteed day off Saturday. Woodruff is the only guy I don't expect tomorrow, and they may be lining him up to do the same as today thing in Game 3. They've got Chacin going tomorrow, they've got the full arsenal of everyone they used today, and they've got Gio, Miley, Peralta, and Guerra if they need long innings. Heck they may get a nice lead tomorrow, get 5 out of Chacin, turn to Gio for 4, and give everyone else 2 more days off. They are fine.
