2018-09-24: Brewers (Bullpen) at Cardinals (Flaherty) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-4 -- Lots of drama & a clutch W!]

[Matt Breen]

I love that we just keep winning. We lose one, then come back and win a couple. Not relying on anyone else.

 

Let's just keep winning and things will work itself out as it's supposed to.

 

Go Crew.

Well if there is Jeffress news coming, Twitter doesn’t appear to know it yet.

 

Josh Kusnick retweeted a normal Jeremy Jeffress video 6 hours ago, so I doubt anything was afoot then. He probably just has a stomach bug.

 

If that we’re the case...wouldn’t they just tell us that? Rock and BA and all the rest being in the dark over a stomach bug?

 

I’m very concerned...hope I’m wrong

Jeffress was unavailable because of neck spasms. Counsell says he is day to day.

 

That was via this Jay Cohen Tweet.

Thank goodness. Hopefully it's a short term thing. May need him this series, considering how many relievers we went through tonight.

[hurricanecrush]

So he slept on his neck wrong.

Still fishy. An injury where you tell none of the media and the player can’t even sit in the bullpen?

 

Hopefully Counsell was just playing it close to the vest against the Cards so they thought he’d be available? I dunno, but hope that is that.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Praise be.

[tigerbrew]

Huge Win.

 

Just 1.5 games back of the Cubs. Go Pirates!

[True Blue Brew Crew]

Praise be.

 

Indeed

[Eye Black]

Haudricourt says neck spasms as well. Still not great, but better than some of the scenarios presented. For a short time this IGT went to a dark place.

[josh]

Curious why neck spasms would keep him out of the bullpen.

[sveumrules]

If you know he isn't going to pitch, why send him down there?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Curious why neck spasms would keep him out of the bullpen.

 

My guess is he slept like crap at the hotel last night, and woke up with a tight neck. I'm sure he was either in the clubhouse getting treatment, or sleeping. Hopefully he's back by tomorrow or Wednesday.

[Bulldogboy]

Yeah he probably is flat on his back at the hotel with the massuse

[Matt Breen]

Perhaps getting treatment.

 

No point in sitting out in the bullpen if you can be getting some therapy.

 

I think people are reading way to much into Jeffress not being in the pen.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Just looking at the pitching matchups for the Pirates/Cubs series, and none of those are gimmes for the Cubs. Archer pitched great his last time out against KC, Nova has been very good for roughly the last month, and we all know what Trevor Williams can do. That Pirates starting staff could be very good.

I don't think there's a conspiracy or anything. Just wondering if there's a protocol for neck spasms. I'd want to be there even if I couldn't pitch, personally, fwiw.

I'm sure Jeremy would too, but the priority over that should be getting him back in a condition to pitch as soon as possible. If the medical staff would prefer he be resting, icing, whatever he was doing rather than sitting there for several hours in the pen, I'm all for it if it helps his recovery.

Somebody get JJ a buckwheat pillow asap.

Why do so many women get all upset if their guy looks at another nice looking woman? IMO it is because they are insecure in their relationship. If my hubby didn't look at a pretty girl I'd check for his pulse.

[StearnsFTW]

Just read the whole thread. Some nice work in there. The bed-wetting in the 4th inning was particularly fantastic. Especially since it was pointed out like 12 times that they couldn't have Carpenter face a lefty every at bat.

 

The Jeffress speculation made me fairly uncomfortable, although BA didn't do anyone any favors there to be sure. Glad it's nothing serious.

[TURBO]

Same.

 

Some of that speculation was pretty uncalled for.

 

Easy to see how fake news takes root.

Love that Braun started it all with the HR the man is not everyday player any more but think he still big game guy
