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]

Any chance woody is available for 20-30 pitches in the pen. it would be is normal throw day on regular rest

Asking for multiple innings from Hader is a fair request for this game. Asking for Burnes to pitch makes no sense.

 

It actually makes a lot of sense when it's an elimination game and managers do it all the time in the postseason when there is no game 5 if you lose.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Boxberger, Cousins, and Hader for 4. They have to shut it down. That's the only way.

Except that it doesn't work. You saw the numbers earlier in this thread.

Hader sitting on 1 inning pitched is looking crazier all the time with Strickland throwing three games. He is pitching tonight, right?

I keep thinking this too...we'll see. I doubt it at this point, but you never know.

[tmwiese55]

aaaand Morton struggled all game and didn't get out of the 4th. Have you just not looked at the stats on short rest at all? That move has consistently not worked over the years

 

Then add in that this is even more extreme for Burnes since he hasn't been on normal 4 day rest this season, so it's actually two days early not 1.

 

I really don't know what the right decision was but this argument holds less water seeing as how Lauer kinda crapped the bed today. Would Burnes have gotten results as poorly as Lauer if he pitched on short rest? We'll never know.

 

Lauer didn't really do badly. Feel like the only hard hit ball was the leadoff double. Rest were bloopers and weak contact. Then of course the last inning: bloop hit, walk which of course was bad (after all the delays), then a bs hbp guy sticking his arm over the plate. Boom, over. He did not get rocked around.

Good call guys

Woody warming.

[roadcrew3]

Anouncers acting like they figured he was available lol

[brooks_quichenick]

If Woody is available, sure would’ve been nice if he could’ve came in with the lead to bridge the gap a bit.

[treego14]

Ashby again in the 6th inning? Ridiculous!

[TURBO]

Lauer did fine, not sure why he is getting any crap.

[roadcrew3]

Really need Ashby to get through this inning

That's actually fair. Lauer did get 5 outs the first?(it was so long ago) inning as well, I guess in retrospect he didn't do that bad.

I support this post.

 

Seems like it would have made sense.

[umphrey]

But why Ashby in the 6th

[jjfanec]

Lauer did fine, not sure why he is getting any crap.

 

Exactly. Especially when a couple missed calls added 15 pitches to his first inning

[DuWayne Steurer]

But why Ashby in the 6th

 

 

2 lefties.

[The stache]

Please don't walk him ahead of Freeman.

But then how would we score?

[The stache]

That was a NASTY pitch.

[jason21nl]

My god waste a freaking pitch
