2018-10-19 (NLCS Game #6): Dodgers (Ryu) at Brewers (Miley) 7:39 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-2 -- Force Game 7 with the NL Pennant and a spot in the World Series on the line]

[CheezWizHed]

He hit Kratz in the facemask again

 

at least he said something to him this time

 

Did he say, "You sitting behind the plate too long?"

[jason21nl]

Hell YEAH!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Huge moment there! Great work Corey!

 

I have to think he comes out for the 6th now, unless his spot comes up in the order.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Smooth heat from Knebel. Got out of the jam with no more damage.

 

Go get the run back.

[MrTPlush]

I know he has had his fair share of big plays, but man Machado has had some dud ABs for the Dodgers.

[adambr2]

Those 1-2 fastballs both to Turner and Machado had way too much of the plate for my liking. Glad there was no harm done.

 

Absolutely love the day that Machado is having and loving that we are letting him hear it with every single strike.

[topper09er]

Huge moment there! Great work Corey!

 

I have to think he comes out for the 6th now, unless his spot comes up in the order.

 

Now that its only a 3 run game I think he pitches the 6th no matter what

[HarveysWBs]

Let’s bat around again and make these bullpen decisions a little easier.

[CheezWizHed]

Huge moment there! Great work Corey!

I'd guess everyone they want for tomorrow is going to stick to one inning.

Huge moment there! Great work Corey!

 

I have to think he comes out for the 6th now, unless his spot comes up in the order.

 

I like Soria, Burnes, Hader, Jeffress all throwing 1 so they can still go tomorrow. I doubt that happens though.

Problem is you gotta make sure you play tomorrow. Miley blowing up in the 5th inning really screwed up saving guys.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I know he has had his fair share of big plays, but man Machado has had some dud ABs for the Dodgers.

 

I think the Dodgers will be ecstatic to have Seager back as their opening day SS next year...the Machado show can go fester somewhere else for the $ he's probably going to get

[adambr2]

I really hope that Woodruff and Burnes are not groomed into 5 inning guys next year in the rotation...

 

I think pretty much all of our starters now and going forward are 5 inning guys by design.

[Fear The Chorizo]

let's get another crooked # this half inning

[Ennder]

At some point this Dodgers pen has to give up some runs, they are a good bullpen but not a dominant one.

Problem with that is what happens when you pull a guy who is doing good and the next one sucks? You almost have to go with the hot hand if they are on.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I would empty the tank tonight, even it means Hader throws 2+. At least if it is a 3-run lead.

 

Can't win Game 7 if you don't play it. Some runs would help.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Won’t have to see Freese anymore tonight.

 

Good start with Shaw’s walk.

[pacopete4]

Extend the lead guys. We need it.

[Marleyboo]

After many many absent years I’m back fellas. Trying to change the mojo! Go crew!

[MrTPlush]

Nice start for Dan Jennings!’n

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I really hope that Woodruff and Burnes are not groomed into 5 inning guys next year in the rotation...

 

I think I agree with that. If the future plan is to only have the starter go no more than twice through the lineup, they are probably better off finding guys like Miley, and keeping arms like Woodruff and Burnes in the pen for multiple innings in higher leverage spots, but pitching more frequently than every 5 days. I've kinda done a 180 on this seeing the plan work so well this year.

 

Still, having good starting pitching is not a dying art form. I think Burnes has the kind of stuff to be a potential ace. Maybe not as electric as Hader, but he has a full starter's arsenal of pitches. Woodruff too.

[topper09er]

lefty 4 pitch walk to Shaw, big mistake.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I don't care if he hits righty or lefty, Wood coming in for Freese is a huge plus for the Brewers

[CheezWizHed]

Problem with that is what happens when you pull a guy who is doing good and the next one sucks? You almost have to go with the hot hand if they are on.

 

What happens if you put him back out and he sucks? Just be wise on how you use guys.
