2018-10-12 (NLCS Game #1): Dodgers (Kershaw) at Brewers (González) 7:09 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5 -- Bullpen Survives; 12th Straight Win; Burgers for Everyone]

Question: can the Brewers win this series giving up a run every three innings (3 each game)?

[Fear The Chorizo]

Strike zone has been large...yikes.

 

Yeah, noticed it specifically for Kershaw, but Woodruff got two questionable strikes against Turner there, too. Ump seems to like low and corners - going to be tough scoring runs on Kershaw if he's hitting his spots.

If they can't put runs on the board, they don't deserve to.

Doubt it. Playoff baseball with 2 good pitching staffs. One team has great starters and the other a great bullpen, but it's going to be a low-scoring affair, with the Brewers having more worrying offensive struggles throughout the year than the Dodgers.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Gotta love the blimp shot. It has definitely been needed at every Brewers' home game.

One less bat on the 25 man probably plays into the decision to let Woodruff bat.

[coolhandluke121]

Stay reasonably consistent with those low corner strikes and you won't hear me complain.

[owbc]

Kershaw's curveball reminds me of Ben Sheets

[wildcat83]

[DuWayne Steurer]

I have no idea how to react to that. Wow.

[NYChez]

Woody’s first pitch next inning will clock around 104.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Actually not a big fan of pulling Gio here...

 

Colder than freezing cold takes!!

[YelichPosse]

CC is a dang genius wow

It's also a great game of chicken with the Dodgers. How soon do they start burning LHB's pinch-hitters? I think this was a good gamble for the Brewers.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

OH MY! I was seriously going to say, "Calling my shot. Woodruff takes Kershaw deep," but didn't. REGRETS! But still... WOODRUFF!

[PinaMadness]

Home run and still get to pitch. Daily double.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Can Woody play 2B?

[YelichPosse]

Wowowowowowoowow
