NLCS- Dodgers v Brewers

[henrygandorf 29197]

one thing i'm curious about in this series - the dodgers are super deep and love to play righty-lefty matchups with their lineups.  the brewers are gonna go to their pen early and often, with both righties and lefties.  if you're roberts, how do you control your instinct to stack lineups, when the whole thing could change by the 2nd or 3rd inning?  how do you avoid wasting your players, who may or may not even face the guy they were inserted in the lineup to hit against?

i'm also curious to see how the dodgers bullpen does, since they're obviously gonna try to lean on their starters for innings.  kershaw is over 50 and not out of the 3rd.  not a great situation on the road facing the brewers lineup/pen.

First lefty P bomb off a lefty P in postseason history. Wow. 

[spystud13 2371]

Holy fuck, what a play that doesn’t matter.

That was a hell of a catch that didn't count.

[TonyTexas 10535]

Dodgers catcher with a very rough game so far

[spystud13 2371]

Yasmani is having a Butera inning. 

[kevwun 15936]

Kimbrel’s spot on his cap is supposed to be mainly spit.

[Fozzz 152]

Brutal inning for Grandal. Very out of character for him. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Yasmani is having a Butera inning. 

And again.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Grandal seems like he sucks

[kevwun 15936]

Kershaw will have 70 pitches through 3 at this rate.

 

 

[spystud13 2371]

Goddamn Ringling Bros. 

[Fozzz 152]

More errors and maybe he’ll be cheap enough for the Astros to sign. 

[Vic Mackey 47168]

Lmao.

[Vic Mackey 47168]

What a shitty AB to end the inning.

[pops 7007]

Lucky to get out of it only down 1

[Fozzz 152]

Who is that in the first row?  Good Lord. 

[TonyTexas 10535]

Roberts already pinch hitting at lead off in the 3rd. Advantage Counsell

 

 

[Fozzz 152]

Unpopular opinion: Roberts is a good manager.

Agreed.

I like him as well but he tends to over manage

Is that a slide between decks in the outfield?

Without D-Rob over managing the WS last year the Stros are still looking to get off the snide.

[spystud13 2371]

Bernie Brewer slides down it after a home bomb. 

[Simon Honeybone 113]

But yeah it is time to pull Kershaw

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

So that substitution worked out.

[spystud13 2371]

Showers, bro. 

[pops 7007]

Fucker can't pitch in the nlcs. It's mind bottling

I'm dumb.

[Fozzz 152]

Astros B squad getting in on the action. 

[Vic Mackey 47168]

Bye bye Kershaw.

Looks like 2 bald men snuggling under a blanket. 

[spystud13 2371]

Safe. 

[Fozzz 152]

Kershaw should opt out and sign at a big discount to the Astros so they can make him a beast again. 

[spystud13 2371]

Well, this won’t even be exciting for the rest of the night. 

[Simon Honeybone 113]

Thank God Bud Selig no longer owns the Brewers....

[kevwun 15936]

Trevor Bauer does not approve.

[clapclapclap 9000]

May want to tweak that camera angle that keeps featuring "Google Ass"....

[Simon Honeybone 113]

Why is Hader in for the 5th inning in a 4 run game?

[Beau Vine 54468]

Soooo... bringing in Hader to face the bottom of the order in the 5th with a 4-run lead?

Does this make sense?

No.  Especially since they don’t normally use him on back to back days, which means he could be burned for tomorrow.

Exactly.

[Fozzz 152]

Nothing about Hader’s velocity or movement is that special. His weirdass delivery does all the work. 

[TonyTexas 10535]

These managers think this is game 7

[Simon Honeybone 113]

He is the new Tim Lincecum

[Fozzz 152]

Yeah, there is something about lanky, wiry pitchers that make their stuff hard to pick up. Sale has some of that too. 

[kevwun 15936]

Clevinger is the same. If he didn’t act like a spaz, he would be average.

He’s not that special.

all that movement and misdirection is what gives some of the asian pitchers their effectiveness.  though it typically wears off after a few years.
