2021-10-12 (NLDS Game #4): Brewers (Lauer) at Braves (Morton) [Brewers lose, 5-4 -- Freeman’s 8th inning HR off Hader breaks tie, and hearts]

[treego14]

I dunno the announcers seemed pretty excited for that Tellez HR.

Surprising!

[Joseph Zarr]

Oh my that was a blast. What a HUGE hit. I need to take a walk.

[Eye Black]

Rowdy now responsible for batting in just 2/3rds of the Brewers runs this series. #Math

[roadcrew3]

This is when I think long and hard about going to Burnes...need to cover 12 outs to get to Josh, don't think Ashby gets you there and really don't want to show them Boxberger for the third straight game

Burnes himself said he wasn't physically ready to pitch today. End of debate.

 

Counsell's quote was "At this time, we're not considering using Burnes..."

 

Seems to leave the door a little open vs a "Burnes is unavailable today"

 

After the Miley NLCS outing, I'll always read into Counsell's gamesmanship

My 6 year old son who has never watched a day of baseball in his life and couldn't care less about the Brewers just said of that Rowdy HR, "Dad, that ball was really hammered."

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I haven't put this game away in the slightest but is there anyway 4:07 Thursday gets moved? I have soccer practice at...5:00.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Wow off the bat that sounded like an innocent pop out to the OF. I didn't think it was going to go all that far.

 

It fooled Ueck too. He said "fly ball to center field. ...." with no hint of excitement in his voice like he usually does on a deep drive, and then suddenly I think he realized Rowdy got all of it cuz he did the "heeeeey, get up ball!" bit

[TURBO]

Fake excitemnet.

[tmwiese55]

You have to trust Ashby for some distance today, right? You have to.

 

Seems like no other choice right for someone to get 2 or possibly 3 out of if he's grooving

[treego14]

Do it during the halftime show ... probably some cruddy rappers or rockers, anyway!

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

You have to trust Ashby for some distance today, right? You have to.

 

I'm afraid so. I like the kid, but I'm not sure I love him in a game-clincher. There aren't a ton of options, however.

Cancel practice, simple as that.

[Bulldogboy]

Good ab Urias. The guy is playing great ball

[Craigilicious]

Rowdy you beautiful man

Ueck is a wreck these days…sad to see. Can we please win a WS for that man.

Tellez me the story of Rowdy, you guys.

 

It's Rowdy Doody Time.

[Bulldogboy]

Walk a batter swing at the first pitch. The brewers way.

[owbc]

Omar was looking fastball and missed a juicy one.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Yep, Ashby up.

I've been listening to a lot of games this year, just feeling like it's time to enjoy and appreciate the fact that even if he hangs around a while, he might not do games more than a year or two more. He's actually been halfway decent this year calling the action.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

The decision to play Urias instead of Escobar has been a good one thus far.

Huh? Francouer, former Brave, seemed dejected. He clearly seems to be pulling for the Braves to me.

Counsell is no dummy!

so much better than good, however, maybe Escobar hits 3 bombs, we'll never know.
