2021-10-08 (NLDS Game #1): Braves (Morton) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers win, 2-1 -- Rowdy provides a run saving defensive play early and hits a 2-run HR late; Burnes pitches 6 scoreless innings]

[owbc]

Morton a bit wild here, crowd has awakened.

[DuWayne Steurer]

why swing there?

[MoreTrife]

C'mon Wong!!!

[adambr2]

I don't know how JBJ managed to squeeze onto the playoff roster, but I know he can't afford to do poorly the one or two things he is going to be asked to do.

[MoreTrife]

Need some Adames magic here.

[adambr2]

Took Wong and Adames two swings to squash that momentum.

[GenoSeligPrieb]

Adames' magic is wearing off

[GenoSeligPrieb]

Yelich's too, apparently

[MrTPlush]

Yelich sucks

[ReverendBrewmeister]

So much for manufacturing runs. Nothing from Batters 1-3 in the lineup with a man on base.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Well, now it's white-knuckle time. Next two innings need to bridge to Josh.

[wOOgiE22]

1-3 helped out Morton there. Was wild and took some terrible swings instead of making him work.

[MrTPlush]

Well, now it's white-knuckle time. Next two innings need to bridge to Josh.

 

May need to score a run for that plan to mean something.

[adambr2]

Hanging curveball that split the middle of the plate and its hammered meekly foul down the left field line for an out.

 

I am so sick of Christian Yelich.

[Bulldogboy]

Pathetic offense. Guess the we just didn't care stuff is not exactly accurate

[PinaMadness]

The offense needs to be upgraded this winter. Hoping Yelich returns to 2018 form won't be near to cutting it.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Pathetic offense. Guess the we just didn't care stuff is not exactly accurate

 

Corbin burnes cares

[PinaMadness]

Pathetic offense. Guess the we just didn't care stuff is not exactly accurate

One can research the data all they want, but you'll never convince me that momentum, or lack thereof, doesn't make a difference in October.

[Jopal78]

Morton could very easily throw a complete game here

[PinaMadness]

Great inning by Houser there.

 

LET'S SCORE SOME RUNS!!!!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Houser in the 7th, looking like a solid setup man. Nice quick work for Adrian.

[adambr2]

Nice quick inning for Houser. Always have liked him as a pen guy.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

3 easy ground balls. Best Houser there is.

"Doesn't matter what the facts say I won't believe them." Got it.

[owbc]

This game seems to be playing out exactly as expected. Morton is no slouch but he's starting to show cracks. Brewers are good at scoring in late innings. Here we go.
