Right now to me, Counsell's decision last night to bring in Hader in a tie with the bases loaded in the 8th has currently saved our season for now. It was later than I liked, but it was just in the nick of time. Hader is likely the only one who would have been able to get out of that mess with only 1 run of damage, and the offense was able to do just enough to overcome it.

True. It should have been easy call but he made the right choice and if he hadn't they would be done. You are right. Follow up with this win and now it's a race.

Agree, and ever since he pulled Pomeranz, all his decisions, from lineup, to pinch hitters to pitching changes, have worked to perfection.

Bill Hall's color commentary is kinda blah, to me. Still better than the yahoo on Cubs broadcasts, however!

 

I don't know...

 

He just sounds like real guy to me. I'm enjoying it.

Questions are a burden.   And answers a prison for one's self.

Gamel coming into this one vs. a lefty tells me all I need to know about Braun. Really hope he can get right because we are going to need him down the stretch.

 

Gamel went in for defensive purposes after Braun's last ab.....

 

Think we will see that a lot going forward.

Did not see that. Well, I'll remain a little more optimistic then.

Tavern of the Game was Ojibwa (O-jib-way). Does the production crew not have a computer to help these guys with the pronunciation?

I’m with “the Stache” in that I think the Marlins are gonna be a scary 4 game series. They’ve been a nightmare to play recently, Mattingly ALWAYS has them playing hard. Pesky hitters and good young pitching, then the fact we’re severely shorthanded adds to the intrigue.

We could be watching the sad ending to what could have been a really great baseball career.

Well, I sure hope a few of our pen guys are ready to go tomorrow as we won't have Hader.

Rip on CC if you want, but he really has nothing to work with outside of Hader and now Suter? They could expand the roster to 100 and there wouldn't be decent options.
