2021-10-11 (NLDS Game #3): Brewers (Peralta) at Braves (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 3-0]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Of course, pitching Lauer would somewhat neutralize Freeman, and keep Pederson on the bench.

Keeping Pederson on the bench has led to four out of the 7 runs that ATL has scored in the series.

 

That is perhaps where not having Suter in this series has hurt. No way the Braves hit Pederson against Suter.

I still think you go Burnes for game 4 and relieve him with Lauer. Burnes is your number 1. You pitch him in an elimination game if you can.

 

I checked earlier, and unfortunately does not look like any chance of rain tomorrow to move things back a day. That said, Lauer has been so good it's not like we should be tooooo worried about pitching. The offense is the killer

I get it. There’s no good answers, and you have to get to game 5 for it to matter. But a fully rested Morton against our offense while we throw a bullpen game in game 5 is not appetizing.

I don't think the Braves pitching is actually that great.

I am guessing the Dodgers take them out in 5....maybe even 4.

[Austin Tatious]

How many extra base hits do we have this series? One?

Go tell that to a Dodgers board! Not now. Man.

[roadcrew3]

Woodruff should be available to start game 5 no? Plus Peralta only through 50 pitches today so would think he may be available for a few innings out of the pen?

 

I don't think game 5 would be a bullpen game at all.

[Nola Beery]

I had to chuckle when Ueker said the runner on 3rd was an important run... as if we could get 3 runs but not 4.

I didn't chuckle THAT much. :-/

Why would we throw a bullpen game? Woodruff would be on full rest. He would absolutely go for Game 5 if Burnes pitched in Game 4.

They have two doubles today. Rowdy's HR in game 1 and Adames 2B in game 2.

I agree with your first point.

 

As for your 2nd point, the Dodgers will have zero chance of beating the Braves, because they won't play them. Brewers in 5.

Time for Smith to let the first couple guys on just to toy with us before retiring the next 3 in order.

Woody on four days rest, in an elimination game, is probably only going five, if you’re lucky. Houser is probably toast, and no Suter. Yeah, that’s pretty much a bullpen game.

I figure he'll walk the first 5 and the next 3 will strike out swinging on 3 pitches.

Huh? Why? 4 days rest is normal rest.

[BigDaddy1974]

This offense couldn’t score in a brothel with a pocket full of $100 bills.

[Outlander]

Nice job by the pitching again, unfortunate Houser had an off day but as noted before can't win a game scoring zero. Have to find a way to score runs tomorrow. Think the home crowd and energy can push them to victory on Thursday but need to get there first.

What about Peralta for relief in game 5?

Escobar, as well.

[jason21nl]

I go with Lauer to tie the series then Burnes to win it.

[Baldkin]

Oh Horse Knuckles

[Lostpawn]

Wow. That kind of game today.

[mtrebs]

Escobar was trying to hit a 3-run homer with the bases empty with that swing on the first pitch.

[owbc]

The whole point of having pitching depth is so you don't have to use Burnes on short rest tomorrow.
