So the Brewers's starter is pitching brilliantly. What happens? He has the audacity to give up a base hit with a 2-0 lead in the 6th inning. I think there was 2 outs. He had thrown something like 64 pitches. (a good first inning for White Sox pitchers) What does the manager do? Pushes the panic button and yanks him. Are you fucking kidding me??? 

Hey you fucking idiot...how did that work out for you? 

Absolutely unbelievable.

actually trialed their relievers starting the game and the starters coming in in the 3rd and trying to pitch their six innings, if possible.

That wasn't really him pushing the panic button.  What you describe has pretty much been their strategic approach all year.   Milwaukee typically goes to there pen probably in the 5th or so, sometimes earlier.  Their pen is SOLID, and overall much better than their starters.  My husband was telling me that Tampa has implementing this approach as well.

WOW.  Brewers pitcher just walked leadoff man, and he was yanked.  Now that's pretty unbelievable.

It was. Made to get the Dodgers to put in a right handed line up and then change. Screw up Dodgers as they can't just pull guys -and also pinch hitting roles.
Didn't get a chance to watch as I was in a meeting, but curious. How did it "blow up in their face?" other than losing to Kershaw (that's not hard to do)

I think it blew up in that righty/lefty aside, they had a really darned good pitcher on the mound.  I think they said he's getting the next start, but geez, you never want to be on the brink of elimination, even if you're going to be heading home.  Just ask Cleveland how much a home field guarantees a series win.

That's what I was thinking too Blondy. In a short series, you can't be planning out too far in advance. Having your backs to the wall is not a good position to be in. This was different from the Red Sox saying that Sale will be unavailable to start game five in their series. They want to make sure he's 100%. As a buddy of mine said, "Counsell seems to be managing like Maddon." And he didn't mean it as a compliment.

 I understand that-but, in his defense , his really good pitcher has a much better chance to win when there is no Kershaw on the other team's mound.

Kershaw was the losing pitcher in game one and looked awful.
