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]

25 pitches for Knebel. I would bet heavily that he is perfectly good to go for at least an inning tomorrow. He's a workhorse type reliever who frequently goes consecutive days.

This game..this series has been full of decisions that could go either way. Overall I think Counsell has managed an unconventional series pretty damn well. Except for the 13 inning game.

[Eye Black]

Let’s score like 3 so we can go Davies or Guerra

How many would we need to go to Pérez?

[Ennder]

If the Brewers score a run this inning do you go Burnes over hader? Try to save hader?

 

Personally I use Hader as the closer in this game. He doesn't come in unless the tying run reaches base or the 9th inning so he only has to go 1.

[Beast Light]

Great, so Knebel gets them through another inning. Now tack on a couple more runs to make the decision to not pinch hit a non-issue.

Impressive accent mark typing

[wildcat83]

Even a run here is huge, could try to get Soria through the 7th then and go from there.

[folly412]

At last the known part of the decision worked out well. Yes, Knebel is available for an inning tomorrow. Not sure if he can go more than that again, but he's been so good it's probably worth risking.

[tigerbrew]

Nice comfortable win by the Bucks

[Ennder]

I'm shocked that didnt break some bones. Youch.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it did. Might be adrenaline dulling the pain just a little right now. Will have to see during the half-inning change.

 

I thought it glanced off his wrist and hit the knob of the bat.

 

 

It definitely hit the knob of the bat. To be honest I think he swung at it in which case the HBP shouldn't count but I'd have to see the replay again.

It's really been a fun series from a baseball intellectual standpoint.

Seconded! Being able to save the rest of the studs in the pen would be great.

 

I do think I want to see Jeffress get an inning regardless though. Likely going to need him tomorrow if they win tonight, and I want him right.

If people were getting yelled at for Packer updates then this is worthy of a lifetime ban.

As an intelligent T-wolves fan said to me in college, "more like the sucks!!"

Our softball team lost a close game 4-3 today though we out drank them after the game.

[wildcat83]

Jeffress warming, I like this a lot! Keeps Hader behind him in case of trouble. Also gives the offense more time to possibly score and not need Hader. If Hader doesn’t pitch tonight he’s got 3 maybe tomorrow.

[PinaMadness]

It's gonna be JJ in the the 7th.

[topper09er]

Interesting tidbit about Cain, he led the NL in infield hits with 27

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Not a fan of going to a guy that has allowed 2.8 runners per inning this post season.

Every once in a while I wonder what would've happened if we didn't include him on the Grienke trade...

Can you really say that you lost though?

[nate82]

Fun drinking game every time Buck talks about Freese and the 2011 NLCS you take a shot.

[StearnBrewliever]

Wish we could get a bigger lead and go with Woody Burnes

[MoreTrife]

Just in pain over Yelich
