I'm a bit shocked he's still in but whatever.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Sticking with him. Ballsy.

[Eye Black]

Gio just setting up his Curt Schilling moment tonight.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Puke. Really helps us if he can go 1 more, but puke.

[Bulldogboy]

What?? Not good choice.

[topper09er]

Why even bother, you can't possibly be unaffected by that kind of injury on your pushoff foot. Already missing a lot just make the move

[MoreTrife]

If this was Max scherzer I'd say gut it out. Gio...take him out.

[HarveysWBs]

[sarcasm]Watch Gio ball out now.[/sarcasm]

[SRB]

Maybe it's like amnesia and getting hit in the head in sitcoms, and now Gio will be good!

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I'm glad he's not injured, but... I don't like this. That should have been his last batter, I think. He didn't look right before. Is he really going to get better after that?

 

Edit: Nevermind. Definitely injured.

[Boomer5]

What is the playoff rule on a hurt player? Can we get someone else tomorrow? Ideally someone useful.

 

I think Schoop hurt his ankle too.

[trwi7]

I feel like I should be paid for having to watch Gonzalez pitch.

[MoreTrife]

Not one first pitch strike.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

Under the current model of limiting most of our pitchers to one trip through the order, Gio is ranked 12th out of 12 on the current staff. His biggest use is his left-handedness and dictating the Dodgers starting lineup. So yes, Gio is likely capped at 2-3 innings. Doubt they'll want to tempt fate and push him. He had a very short leash last time and there's no reason to give him a longer one now. The big question is, who follows Gio? It sounds like Woodruff will be the guy but I'm not so sure. The score after 3 might dictate who follows. I have a sneaking suspicion we might be surprised by the second out getter for the Brewers tonight.

 

I'm thinking your suspicion is Peralta. I think that is HIGHLY unlikely.

 

But many of the pitching moves they've made have completely flummoxed me, and they have worked for the team much more than not, so who knows?

 

 

Let's hope Freddy is up to the challenge. He's really hard to hit, command just has to be there. He's a weapon and given the circumstances - he's needed.

[dlk9s]

Well, this game COULD have been worse for Gio, but not much.

[HarveysWBs]

Epic F bomb on live tv.

[jerichoholicninja]

You all can hate on Gio all you want but I love that they practically had to drag him off the field.

If you replace a player they can't be on the roster the next series. Not that we would want him on the roster.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

About 5 of them.

Good one.

[jjgott]

To be fair he only threw 26 pitches. Assuming he ices it up and the swelling doesn't get too bad, he should be available for an all hands on deck game 6 or possibly even game 5 if it goes to extras.

[Eye Black]

Freddy Peralta in the playoffs seems likely to be the ultimate feast or famine pitcher.

Yeah...no thanks.

He is the anti Machado for sure. I’ll fondly remember his gutty attitude when the series is tied at 2-2.
