World Series Game 5: Jacob Misiorowski Outs and MVP Picks

Tonight will be just the sixth time out of those 25 in which a game made it to a fifth opportunity. Never gone to a game six or seven when a team has trailed 3-0 in the World Series. So that would be a first here, but that's the goal is just win one game at a time. And knowing that, you know, Murph last night, I wasn't sure what he was doing. McGill uh for five pitches I I don't know what that was the whole drag going to Drohan I get it but it seemed like he could have stuck with sense of talent there for a little more uh Mizorowski doesn't go more than five but he's got plus money at 15 and a half outs here tonight so do we try to if we're gonna push him right is this the game that we go to push him here Greg do uh to get it done and and be done with this all together it's really hard to say and I don't think it's a matter of pushing him it's just a matter of understanding that he's a strikeout pitcher and it's just harder for some of these guys to hit their props because there's always going to be three four pitches involved he doesn't pitch the contact almost ever joe he's always looking for a strike one strike two strike three so that builds up a pitch count and it makes it more difficult to go through the lineup two three plus times so i i probably would lean under toward that again and and it could be nothing nothing at that point but yeah joe i i don't think it's about pushing i just think it's when you have a pitcher of his caliber you prefer the guy to get all the swings and misses than to go deeper into the game because you sort of feel like you could get somebody else that could come in and pump 98 and get more strikeouts too that's just the nature of the game at this point so um you know five six innings at most i think from Misuraka again tonight yeah i mean listen the the middle relievers is the big problem right now maybe a little bit of fatigue start to set in there for the Brewers so I'm wondering maybe they give him an op right listen can you go because I don't even think he sniffed 100 pitches right Craig and this and these four and five then I don't think he's even come close to 100 pitches in any of these so it's really been more situationally third time through the order where he's kind of utilized the bullpen uh when when best there didn't strike out a ton of guys in uh in game one by the way would he have three strikeouts for the Brewers so but I don't think he hit 80 pitches in that one so I'm wondering maybe you save an arm or two and say hey can you go out there and get us three more outs uh it'll be interesting to see where he goes but his closer is available I don't know what the whole five pitch McGill outing was last night but I'm guessing he can be available to go longer if he needs him here tonight uh late in the game yeah maybe early in the game maybe like Tampa Bay did bring it in early yeah maybe that is more of of what Milwaukee may do to sort of solidify things but look I I feel what you're saying Joe it just feels like we we set ourselves up for this every time and then every time the managers go to the bullpen you know like it doesn't matter what we think they just always after four innings are like that's it go to the bullpen the only way that you get it get kind of if you go unscathed through five six innings yes Joe if he doesn't give up a run he only gives up one hit yes I think that there is a chance that he goes deeper but you would expect five innings two runs five innings one run and then you're gonna see Romero or somebody else warming up in the bullpen and then that's gonna be it I mean the other thing is tonight is Woodruff a possibility for the Brewers that's an interesting name after everything yesterday yeah like that that is an interesting name to see uh what role he would play could he play the eighth inning role today Joe could he play the seventh inning role I think there's a chance of that happening today I got my eye on that yeah it's uh yeah well you're also gonna have uh guys like Matts and Clevenger and Seltzer on the other side some of these pitchers yeah on the other side they're gonna be rolling out or not good but listen give them guys all the credit in the world for limiting uh the offense last night absolutely what we thought was a two-horse race in the MVP Craig like we said the uh Pratt was it kept showing I love they kept going to uh Robin Yount who was in the ballpark last night they kept going to him and showing you know him and Yount of course the shortstop and uh the franchise for as many years a Hall of Famer and I mean this kid is just absolute nails at what 22 years old uh but he had the kind of night that MVPs are one on but it'll be interesting because now what what seemed like a two horse race might depending offensively who has the best night might have an opportunity to win that award here for Milwaukee i think you're absolutely right i think Pratt put himself into the conversation you can't eliminate Chorio from the conversation and then Wilson Contreras was the favorite so yeah joe to your point two hits tonight two RBIs out of one of those three that guy's probably the MVP of the World Series i i totally agree with you there uh you know the only thing would be is what if one of those guys had a really good night in the race one then all of a sudden we're headed we're headed toward another game so uh but yeah look i i pratt was not a part of the conversation until yesterday but then again this is how it changes so quickly in the MVP and we've seen this before i remember when i think it was Jalen Brown ended up winning the MVP of the of the finals one year he was like 20 to 1 or something and then all of a sudden by the end he was the favorite to win the MVP so yeah let's see what happens tonight it's a good door throw joe i would say that yeah if you want to take a shot on pratt or or better yet what about Jackson Chorio showing up in the biggest moment tonight maybe hitting a home run then all of a sudden he would win so not a two horse race anymore it's definitely three
