This is insane.

I mean, if the Brewers win, it all works and make sense.

But Counsell is playing like this is the continuation of a suspended game and next score wins.

Yeah of course if they win he is a genius in all these moves.

I just don't get it at this point. It is 2-1. The game has a ton of time left.

It feels to me like he is playing scared to lose. There is a fine line between aggressive and scared.

Are the Dodgers really this fucking stupid? Lets hack at everything and let Hader pitch all night. Turner swung 2-0 and was out, Belinger and Puig both with shit at bats that barely lasted 2 pitches. I don't get why lefties don't try bunting on him. His stuff is hard to pick up but you can commit pretty early because he stays right on the edge of the zone. He isn't a ball in the dirt guy.

He looks fantastic.

Hader's hair, despite the pressure, still has that bounce. Wonder who his stylist is.

Fourth inning for Hader?

That’s a single if they didn’t have the left fielder positioned in center field.

I agree, and if you are going to pull him wouldn't this be the spot for Kershaw? Try to get him for about 3 innings

Look on the bright side Counsell. Hader got you through those important 3, 4, 5th innings .

It's tempting to call Craig Counsell a monumental dipshit, but that's kind of imprecise, because an actual granite monument would manage his pitching staff more intuitively than Counsell has.

If you look at the staff CC was given during Spring Training on paper you would have wiped your ass with it. He has done an amazing job and the cubs old minor league pitching coordinator has been simply amazing reclaiming guys. There is also a ton of game left for a team that can put up 5 in a heartbeat.

Well yes....pulling Chacin was stupid and using hader that early takes away your suit of armor. That was a Joe move.
