CURTAIN CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JRob1125]

ROWDY!!!!!!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

ROWDY! That’s the big hit needed.

[folly412]

Let's get ROWDY!!!

[HarveysWBs]

Get ROWDY!

[dlk9s]

On TV, for some reason I didn't think it was gone off the bat, but I saw Rowdy's reaction and smiled.

[MoreTrife]

Why can't we swear!?! F yeah!!!!

[PinaMadness]

So who gets the eighth? Houser or someone else?

[yourout]

That is so huge

[bucks2281]

No doubter off the bat in person

[adambr2]

Wow Rowdy!! Awesome!

Same - thought he reacted like he knew he just missed it.

 

LFG

[pacopete4]

I told you guys. I told you.

 

Play Rowdy… win World Series!

[MrTPlush]

Two things I almost posted in that AB

 

1) Morton staying in after struggling and is facing a lefty.

 

2) (after Tellez chased bad) Tellez really blows today.

[adambr2]

Devin Williams. Oh wait. Thanks, Devin.

 

Honestly I'd go with Houser for another inning but I am not paid to make those decisions. I don't have a ton of confidence in Boxberger lately.

[wOOgiE22]

It is great having Rowdy back!!

[folly412]

So who gets the eighth? Houser or someone else?

 

No one I'd trust more. It's a huge asset to have him coming out of the pen.

[BruisedCrew]

Not starting Urias doesn’t look so bad now.

[Brewcrewin07]

Freddy's up in the pen

[True Blue Brew Crew]

So much for the Braves appearing much more likely to get to Burnes than the Brewers to Morton

I agree on both counts. Either Cousins or Strickland can be the eighth inning guy too.

If they get another runner on they almost have to pinch hit for Houser.

 

ETA- Narvaez eliminated that problem.

[FVBrewerFan]

I go Houser with a very short leash.

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.

 

Still thinking the same thing?
