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

Nomo did throw 2 no hitters....

I didn’t remember that Hader was in the deal when the Astros traded for Gomez and Fiers. Add him and JD Martinez and we’re talking 1927 Yankees

That's a really ugly chick.

Let's go ahead and mix in trading for Yelich & Realmuto along with taking Kris Bryant over Appel while we're at it.

[Guadaloopy 10981]

Every once in a while, they show Counsell on screen and I see Jared.

No thanks.   I’m good with the Astros as they are.  No what ifs.  No woulda couldas.  Every move made led to where they are.  Who knows what the butterfly effect would have been otherwise?

while we could very well still have hader (though fiers did really help us last year), the story i've seen all day with the "what ifs" for jdm are kinda dumb.  he's been on 3 teams since the astros, and the most recent one paid him a bunch of money.  zero probability of him being an astro this season, even if we didn't cut him.  or, if you want to say we somehow paid him a bunch of money, then we likely don't have verlander, may not have had beltran last year, etc etc blah blah.

Oh and Fat Albers is pretty cool.

(one of the greatest Shaggy thread titles ever)

[kevwun 15808]

3 innings for hader seems dumb

[Fozzz 152]

Brewers had an 88% win probability following Domingo’s hit. The use of Hader here in a low leverage situation is really hard to justify.

seems like counsell went into this game with a "anything we can do to win the kershaw game" attitude.

[kevwun 15808]

I get that, but you have to realize this is game 1 and you have a comfortable lead.

 

[Fozzz 152]

Someone should have told Counsell that the guy pitching tomorrow has had a better season than Kershaw.

This is the only thing that makes sense.

I was just trying to rile up the non-Astros fans in this thread. Seems that my post only got to my brethren.

If you're going to pitch him 1, you might as well pitch him 3.

But I'm not sure why they pitched him 1.  

 

Kinda agree with HG -- maybe Counsell decided "This is how we're going to run this if we get an early lead on Kershaw," … and didn't deviate off that plan even though that lead was very comfortable and Kershaw was already out of the game.  Nah, that still doesn't make any sense.  

I mean, tomorrow's game is much more of a sure thing for Milwaukee because they're starting... Wade Miley???

[Simon Honeybone 113]

Seriously Counsell might be big D-rob's best friend before this series is over the way D-Rob was Hinch's best friend last year.

I feel like the world is taking crazy pills

i'm not condoning it, i'm trying to figure it out as well.

i wouldn't worry as much about burning him, i would worry about dodger hitters seeing too much of him and having that come back to bite you in the ass in a few days a la bregman/kenley.

[Simon Honeybone 113]

Yup

[Guadaloopy 10981]

Brutal strike 3 call on the homeless dude.  

[WBT 20635]

Counterpoint - Hader should have gone 4?

[Tommy Nobis 905]

That’s what the brewers get for trading for a rangers scrub.

[Scraps 13567]

Counsell is real close to looking like a fucking idiot.

I already think it was borderline idiotic to bring hader in so early.

[Fozzz 152]

They could have used him now to get out of this jam. Leverage index now much higher than when he pitched. 

[henrygandorf 29194]

can you imagine being a brewers fan if they lose this game burning hader to pitch what seemed to be the meaningless middle frames?

[Guadaloopy 10981]

OK, great. But there’s another inning, Counsell.  Whatcha gonna do now?

Bullpen hubris does not go unpunished in the offseason.  

[Scraps 13567]

Wut

[WBT 20635]

Kratz getting screwed

[henrygandorf 29194]

god that call was shitwater.

[Guadaloopy 10981]

110 pitches for the Brewer pen so far tonight.  It’s exactly what HG said earlier.  So what if they hold on to win tonight?   The Dodgers have gotten a lot of good looks at a pen they will see plenty of in this series.  And now they’ve drawn blood.  This is a bad night for the Crew even if they win.

Makeup for strike 3 to Turner.  

[spystud13 2371]

Looked out real-time. 

[spystud13 2371]

Yep. 

[spystud13 2371]

Moose really, really did not need to dive there. 

[spystud13 2371]

Damnit, Corey. 

[CurlyDumps 4476]

Pedrson gives off such a douche nozzle vibe.

[WBT 20635]

wow, I can't believe he got to it but you got to squeeze that one

Shit, that would have been a badass ending.

Thought he got it

Cain wtf bruh

Fucking great camera shot there.
