That reminded me of some of Mike McCarthy's play calls back in the day:
Just because it worked doesn't mean it was a good decision.

@pfeifersports.bsky.socialLeave another one up there, Adam. I dare you. I double dare you. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialNot a great opening-offering swing from Chourio, and not much better on 0-1.
Don't be surprised if Adam throws the same pitch here. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialI don't think Pivetta has a chance at third, Waino. Too risky. Throw that ball away from the third baseman and one run scores, maybe two.
Rare that I think of Pierzynski as the voice of reason, but he is here. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialJason Adam is one too many first names for a pitcher. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialHonestly, I might have even considered pinch hitting for Ortiz there, but hey, it's a productive out at least.
I don't think Pivetta wants to come out but it's going to happen anyway. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialUh oh ...
... this inning is starting to feel very Brewer-y. In a good way.
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialWhen a guy squares a ball up this well, something went very right.
I said this could be a Cooper Pratt night. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialThe things that go through my head: I always wonder if the grass with the painted logos on it feels, like, crunchier under players' feet when they run on it.
As someone sensitive to textures, that would be the kind of thing that would throw me. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@crashmccloud.bsky.socialBrining in Jojo Romero was the smart decision but it's a case of too little too late. No score for San Diego this inning but were only down 1 #NLDS
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialThen more great location to start off Taylor. Settling in nicely. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialRomero with the stellar pitch there to get 'em looking. Great location. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialYeah, just stayed in the batters box and behind the baseline.
Dang it. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialI agree with Pierzynski; too slow-hit of a ball to turn two there.
But you can always get Harris to hit a similar ball harder. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialBy the way, an ellipses by itself is kind of my version of the Chris Griffin comic strip anger bit.
Just don't make me 1930s work whistle angry. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialMay: Throws five balls in a row.
Romero: Comes in and throws two balls in a row.
...
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialMay getting pulled makes this feel a little like a virtual bullpen game. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialGetting Dak Prescott and Jordan Love as your star quarterbacks in your commercial feels like a "well, we got who we could afford" sort of thing. #brewers #NLDS #postseason
@pfeifersports.bsky.socialI do wonder just how much modern analytics also plays into being able to tell when a pitcher doesn't have his best stuff. Like, are there metrics to know, "OK, this guy's a full standard deviation off tonight, get him out of there?" #brewers #NLDS #postseason
