GDT: Wild Card round

[Brownie19]

Baltimore gave up, Tampa gave up, Cleveland gave up.... not to mention San Fran, The white sox... i guess something finally clicked in Milwaukee.

 

Pulled after 66 pitches. Kid was absolutely dealing. Let's see how this plays out.

Mears took "over the top" literally. My shoulder hurts watching that delivery

[Stangstag]

Holy sheeeiittttt

[Orgfiller]

Safe to say this was the most entertaining series.

[Pinkfloid]

Incredible!

 

BTW, anyone else annoyed by these irrelevant Win Probability! markers??

[Stangstag]

Kinda dumb tho, Alonso is the ONE guy that could hurt you there. Probably should've pitched around him. I'd rather face Iglesias with the bases juiced

[Stangstag]

Winker seems like such a **** lol

[Omar]

It's all because of the Gibbons magic in the dugout.

[hanton]

Winker walking the walk.

They aren't irrelevant? They don't bother me.

[Stangstag]

Wow that's a gut-wrenching loss for Milwaukee.

[The Cats Ass]

Was hoping for the Brewers.

[Brownie19]

Wow. Incredible finish. What a series. Mets/Phillies at least brings the rival aspect.

[leaffie]

What is wrong with these managers that they just wont walk the one guy that can hurt them

The whole NL bracket is insane rn.

 

Mets/Phillies

 

Dodgers/Padres

 

Like come on, both those series will be absolute bloodbaths. Love it.

2 elite closers in Williams and Hader both blew major games for their respective teams.

Intentionally putting the tying run in scoring position usually isn't wise.

 

He does strike out his fair share of the time too

[Pinkfloid]

3/4 of these LDS series' are amongst division rivals. Love it!

[G-Snarls]

Omg Alonso broke their hearts in Milwaukee

[L54]

Wow, the Mets were incredibly unlucky.

[jaysblue]

Jesse Winker is crazy haha

Also, Hader was developed and came up with Milwaukee. Williams took over the closers role after Hader went to San Diego. They both blew games this WC series.

Was Devin Williams tipping pitches?

[Laika]

what was going on with Winker there

 

it looked like he messed up his head or neck, but there was no collision

then it just looked like he threw his back out from how he was walking around

 

smashes his helmet lmao

Caleb Joseph had some good insight on this after the game on Sportsnet

 

I think Alonso was just sitting changeup the whole PA and ended up getting a cookie of one in a 3-1 count

I very much doubt a hitter can see the real difference in about an inch of glove height from 60 feet away. Possible I guess if you're really locked in on glove/jersey markers but if he was tipping it this game, chances are hes been tipping it for a lot longer and ... doesn't seem like many guys are getting good wood on it over the long term.

 

I suspect Caleb Joseph is more correct in his assertion that he was just sitting on it and got a good one to hit. plus, Williams' fastball was all over the place in that PA so he could discount that pitch even more.

Yeah - I'd tend to agree with all of that. It seemed like a very slight tell that would be very difficult to rely on. Although perhaps from the batter's perspective, it was more obvious. The dugout discussions certainly suggest something was up.

I don't get it, lol. 3-1 count, just put him on.

If he was sitting changeup then why choke up on the bat tho??

 

Williams did make it very easy to hunt changeup though, since the fastball was all over the place.
