TWO DAYS AFTER Jackson Chourio’s walk-off hit in the National League Division Series, Brewers reliever D.L. Hall was asked for a pitcher’s perspective on facing the 22-year-old October sensation.In other words, if he had to throw to Chourio, what would he do? Hall didn’t say anything. Instead, he grinned as he held up four fingers to provide his answer, suggesting that walking him might be the best option.
