Because Counsell remembers the pitcher who gave up 3 hits all of September and was lights out all year. He had faith that THAT J.J. would show up again.spike wrote:Hader pitches great, Jeffress ruins everything. Why does Counsell continue to do things this way?
On top of that, even if Hader pitched the rest of the game, The Crew still lose 2-1... JJ didn't blow the game, the Brewers hitters did. The Dodgers first rally started when Machado, the cleanup hitter bunted for a hit. The Brewers showed bunt once. The Dodgers were 1-2 in stolen bases, I don't believe the Brewers attempted one. Jesus was 0-4 with 4 K's... The pitching staff pitched their hearts out.
When Cain had the double, and Yelich followed up with that line out to LF, you could just feel the air let out of Miller Park. Next inning Puig hit that home run and it was over.
