Rubber meeting the road now.

Another possible issue with 3 innings for Hader could be not enough work for other guys who you're going to need eventually.

Did it answer as fast as the obviously pre-recorded spot did?

[wildcat83]

In Counsel I trust but my lord is this tough to watch. Getting to the point in pitch count where it my be Tuesday before we see him.

It was answering at the same time.

Season high was 41 pitches but he did 49, 50, 53, and 54 in half a season last year.

I would not totally write off Hader being used tomorrow, if only for 1 batter and he's feeling up to it. Example Bellinger comes up in the 8th with the bases loaded and 2 out with a 1 run lead. Maybe not but I could see it this time of year.

[PinaMadness]

Exhale

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Whew. They were starting to make some solid contact, but a tip of the cap to Josh. Three innings in his first NLCS with no runs allowed.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hader took one for the team tonight, and now the pen is sitting in great shape even with the short start from Gio. I think Hader is likely good to go for Monday. It's the playoffs.

[pacopete4]

This is the playoff folks. New rules. Counsell will write them as we go!

[Bulldogboy]

Well hopefully no side effects from that long outing. Now see you in LA Josh.

Monday? Off Sunday.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Long day.

Not a great inning dodged some bullets. 3 flyballs. Not dominant Hader. Again, bellingers looked gone to me off the bat to me. Anyone else or am I just getting jumpy?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Zeus with an insurance homer!

[PinaMadness]

JESUS!!!!!

[liveforoctober]

Insurance. I love insurance.

[PinaMadness]

I wish the PA would play "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" like they did in 2011 when Prince would go yard in the NLCS.

[folly412]

Praise him!

[FVBrewerFan]

2 innings. no Hader tomorrow. So why not give him 3? Makes perfect sense, save one of the Pastry Boys for tomorrow.

I was super jumpy against the Rockies and thought 3-4 were home runs and most weren't even close. I thought Bellinger's earlier in the game was gone, but I thought his latest one looked like a regular fly ball. I've been awful at judging fly balls so far this postseason, though.

After 6 perfect streaming inning my Sling starts giving me a terrible feed. Does network traffic really jump that much at 9:30 on a Friday night?

[wildcat83]

Called him Aguilera for the third straight National TV broadcast.... Terrible
