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]

[owbc]

If we score I'd like to see Hader finish the game. Don't mess around.

 

Hader for 9 outs? Yeah that's not happening. If we see him in the 8th I'd be happy.

 

I thought it was the 8th already. We're 3 hours in and we made it to the top 7th?

[Joseph Zarr]

This Braves lineup is going to be just brutal for a long time. They don't even have Acuna right now.

 

 

thankfully...

 

I really really like Albies as a player. He is a disciplined hitter and just always puts in pesky AB's. Savvy player.

[TURBO]

Urias has just been a revelation at 3rd this post-season. Thankful for his defensive play. Let's hope Woody can give us a quality 3-4 innings if need be.

 

 

There is a chance that we don't keep Escobar based on this series alone. I think Urias may have cemented his position on the team for next year as our starting 3B, and we can focus on a bigtime slugging 1B and a big bat outfielder.

 

Or not...

So, who do we have left after Woodruff? Hader for 2 and Gustave. Probably an inning out of Cousins. Is Houser available for an inning?

[tmwiese55]

not sure on the double switch. We'd actually need multiple hits before that spot comes up this inning, which is obviously unlikely. Very good chance you wouldn't have needed it, unless they really want two more from him. Plus Woody is a passable hitter

[jason21nl]

Go away Christian

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Casual smile on Yelich after missing a hanger, then one of the worst swings you'll ever see.

[The stache]

Yelich.

[adambr2]

They can leave Yelich off the NLCS roster for all I care. They won't obviously, but I wouldn't care if they did.

[folly412]

Beginning next opening day, we can start counting down from 189,500,000.

[roadcrew3]

I think Snitker is outsmarting himself right now...Minter looked lights out, Brewers werent touching him. Glad hes out

[KeithStone53151]

I was looking at statcast earlier, Jackson was throwing like 80 percent sliders to brewers hitters this series. I'd like to think if I can figure that out, our hitters can as well

[tomwopat]

Yelich seems like he only takes a full swing on pitches he has no chance of making contact with

Agreed. I'm thrilled he pulled minter. Dude is fire right now

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Yeah, pretty much there. At least if he's not there at all there is no obligation to put the money man in the lineup everyday.

I laughed in a sad way. Worse: He's not the only one.

Who is our emergency catcher. What if Maile takes one to the chesnuts and has to exit the game?

 

Risky.

[Bulldogboy]

Garcia against a slider pitcher?? What happens here?? Lol

[The stache]

Is it more Yelich's back at this point, or is the knee still bothering him somewhat? I know firsthand how much a broken knee can continue to ache after a bad fracture. But he just looks lost up there.

[PinaMadness]

Garcia is so slow.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Is it just me, or is Avi looking slow....

[adambr2]

I thought Garcia was one of the fastest guys on the team. Looked like he had a small piano on his back trying to run that one out.

[The stache]

Rowdy is a strong man. That ball went a long way.

[wOOgiE22]

Maybe their is some truth to Yelich getting tipped off on pitches.

[jjfanec]

Another strikeout looking....
