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]

Oh my gosh I thought that ball was never going to come down.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice gun Adames.

[Pugger]

Good lord. I was afraid they didn't get him at 1st.

[Joseph Zarr]

WHAT a dig. AND what a play.

[bucks2281]

Worst case, they pitch Burnes deep in extras and then DL Gustave. Bring up Brett Anderson.

[TURBO]

Don't be surprised if we see Box or Cousins in the 8th.

 

I'm not convinced we see Hader for multiple innings to be honest.

 

I haven't heard them talking about who is warming up. Is it possible that Woodruff is going to go out the 8th?

[tmwiese55]

It's the Woodruff side throw day as well.

[The stache]

I still am having a hard time processing that miscue between Woody and Rowdy. How does that even happen?

 

General consensus is always "If an infielder can make the play, it's always their play", and they should call off the pitcher. Once Rowdy called off Woody, he HAS to make that catch. HAS to.

 

^^ This. It's on Rowdy.

 

He redeemed himself with that nice snag to end the inning.

 

Let's score some runs!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Worst case, they pitch Burnes deep in extras and then DL Gustave. Bring up Brett Anderson.

 

That would truly be "worst case"

[Octobercrew]

I wonder if this is the time Hader finally is used for more than 3 outs. Seems like it could be a possibility.

[Joseph Zarr]

You get out of the inning like that? Toss that miscue in the trash and take the darn game. What a play. That ball hung for an eternity.

[Pugger]

 

I can run just fine, if I need to. I can't put any torque on my knee. Different kind of stress.

 

But it was a patella fracture. The patella affects the ability to bend and straighten the knee it has nothing to do with rotation. If he can run alright, it means his knee is good to go.

 

Yelich's issue is between the ears.

[MrTPlush]

If we get the lead here Josh Hader will 1000% be pitching for two innings. Pretty confident.

[KeithStone53151]

I'm gonna get ahead of this. Ph woodruff who is due up 4th?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If we could grab a lead I'd be tempted to let Woodruff finish.

[roadcrew3]

How much weak contact can they turn into hits or productive outs?? Good lord some of these balls the last few games have no business turning into something positive for them but they have been. Luckily that one wasnt...barely

[jjfanec]

3 up 3 down or score a run. Dont want to burn woodruff for a scoreless inning

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I think Hader has the 8th no matter what.

 

Got to have him vs. a lefty and turn Albies around...

[KeithStone53151]

I would only pH if we get 2 on or 3 on for his at bat. Remember woodruff can actually swing it a little

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Hader up.

[adambr2]

Don't be surprised if we see Box or Cousins in the 8th.

 

I'm not convinced we see Hader for multiple innings to be honest.

 

I haven't heard them talking about who is warming up. Is it possible that Woodruff is going to go out the 8th?

 

Absolutely. Not a deep pitch count. I'm thinking Woodruff for an out or two then Josh.

[roadcrew3]

Ride Woodruff as long as he can go unless you have the lead in the 9th

[adambr2]

Ok Rick, you've been asking all year, and you now have your answer. Yes they will in the playoffs.

[Joseph Zarr]

Yeah, Hotlanta is certainly benefiting from some amazing trash hits. LOL. Sometimes that's the way it goes. I thought after that miscue it was going to be another dribbler. Instead it was almost a chopper that went to the stratosphere before coming back down.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Come on, Urias! The Braves would have let that hit them in the face!
