What about Jace P?
Urias has been outstanding tonight. He's probably saved 3 runs with his defense.
CC managed this game in a way that has them playing Luke Maile in an elimination game for the next 3 innings.
Yelich got his single tonight. That's probably it for him the rest of the series.
Don't ask me why but I feel Escobar is going to hit a home run to eventually win this game.
Ugh how does rowdy take that over the middle on a full count 😡
Unbelievable. That's like spring training stuff.
When you screw up like that it usually bites you in the ass.
The screwup on the bloop bunt may benefit them. Jackson was dealing.
D has saved 2-3 runs.
Thought experiment.
It's the ninth and you down one run with a guy on with two outs. You are facing a lefthander and Yelich is up. Escobar is available.
Do you pinch-hit for Yelich?

Great defense, great starting pitching.
Offense - two swings by Tellez.
Having to Maile hit in this situation is almost like hitting a pitcher. It's not his fault, he had 34 plate appearances this year and didn't play in 2020.

I think if you are still tied you bring in Escobar.
What the hell? No double switch? You are limiting Hader to one inning no matter what? Is CC on crystal meth?

Yup, don’t agree with this at all. Hope it workd

You are just rong. In 30 at bats he had 9 hits. that is a .300 average.
Freeman is everything Yelich is not.
Hader will lose another close-out game.
Freeman is so good. I had a bad vibe he’d jump on the first pitch.
Guess what. Yelich is due to hit fourth this inning.
I can see it. One guy reaches but there are two outs and Yelich is up. Brewers down 1. And.....
Peterson, Wong, Adames, and hopefully Escobar.

Yes. I was surprised they didn't try to work around him.
You should never let the other team's best player beat you if you can help it.
