I've already taken a look at how I expect Craig Counsell to gameplan his pitching. As far as the position players, something immediately jumps right off the page here: Schoop. Since the Brewers acquired him from the Orioles, he hit .202/.246/.331 in the regular season and has only gotten two plate appearances -2, K) in the playoffs. He hasn't seen the field this series yet. I wondered if maybe there was some history against Dodgers starter Rich Hill, but Schoop is 0 for 8 with four strikeouts in his career. Counsell must just have a good feeling here.

Another surprise at second base. This time against the lefty, Dave Roberts is going with Dozier. Instead of Taylor in center with Matt Kemp on a corner against the lefty, RoberDave Roberts is going with Dozier. Instead of Taylor in center with Matt Kemp on a corner against the lefty, Roberts knocks Hernandez out to center. Dozier hit just .182/.300/.350 after joining the Dodgers in the regular season and is 1 for 5 in the playoffs.
