The Milwaukee Brewers could not have asked for a better set up leading into Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. After extending the series with a Game 6 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, the Brewers entered the decisive game with a fully rested Josh Hader ready to be deployed however manager Craig Counsell saw fit. It wasn't a question of if Counsell would use his ace reliever, who last pitched an inning in Game 4 four days prior, It was a matter of when, and for how long.
