2018-10-16 (NLCS Game #4): Brewers (González) at Dodgers (Hill) 8:09 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 2-1 -- 13 Innings]

That's why you just have to get him to third Arcia. It's so crazy that guys who do this for a living cannot do what beer league softball guys do.

 

They can do it they just don't try to

[MoreTrife]

Cain. Give me something to smash.

[MrTPlush]

I don’t think Cain could possibly find a way to suck more offensively lately. Him and Yelich are killing us.

[phnxcrew]

I just don't think either team could be hitting any worse. I get both teams have great pitching, but man

[SRB]

Worst possible time to go ice cold

[shanedog19]

Cain not working counts like usual.

Yea, cuz beer league softball pitchers throw 98 with sharp breaking off speed stuff.

That means you can hit a ground ball to second? That's the job.

[wildcat83]

Why is he so impatient lately? Of all people you wouldn't expect him to press.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

At least we cleared Cain that inning.

[dlk9s]

You know things are backwards when you think, "Oh great, the top of the Brewers lineup is coming up."

[PeaveyFury]

Good thing the staff has been so amazing, as a lot of our big bats have been MIA this series.

[Eye Black]

Does Dave Roberts realize this game could go extra innings?

 

Rich Hill

Pedro Baez

Kenta Maeda

Caleb Ferguson

Ryan Madson (current)

Dylan Floro

Julio Urias

Alex Wood

Kenley Jansen

The Dodgers have pitched well tonight...it's hard to blame our hitters for that.

[Ennder]

When you take into account all of the time you get into a 2 strike count and have to call off the bunt their success rate is under 50%. It is a pretty iffy move to pull when you have someone not good at bunting up to bat.

[Oxy]

Good thing the staff has been so amazing, as a lot of our big bats have been MIA this series.

 

yep. I ain't complaining being up 2-1 and tied 1-1 in game 4, no matter who has been good or bad for us...

[pacopete4]

If Cain wasn’t so awesome defensively, it’d be great to leave Grandy in there if they are out of lefties.

I mean, sometimes? It's not that simple, of course. If you could hit a grounder anywhere anytime on command I'm sure we would find situations to take advantage of it.

 

Even a sac bunt isn't a sure thing.

[Bulldogboy]

Dodgers have two hits and it feels like they are in the drivers seat.

[mtrebs]

At least we cleared Cain that inning.

 

Too bad we have Yelich leading off next inning too...

 

Unfortunately that’s only partially sarcastic with the way these guys have been struggling. I’m not down on them since they did so much to get us here, but man, are they cold.

[shanedog19]

Do we dare bring Hader in during a tie game?

[topper09er]

Do we dare bring Hader in during a tie game?

 

Yes, or should we save him for spring training?

[adambr2]

Would be a fine time for a GIDP.

[shanedog19]

Please no Cedeno!!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Do we dare bring Hader in during a tie game?

 

I knew that wasn't going to happen, like 100%, but that's what I wanted. I figure if he keeps it tied the 8th is our best chance to score.

[adambr2]

Oh good. Cedeno is warming.
