2021-08-10, Game 2: Brewers (Ashby) at Cubs (Mills) [Brewers win, 6-3 in 7 innings]

[adambr2]

Isn't there some crazy stat that shows we win over 50% of the games when Adames gets a hit? Feeling good about this one.

 

Also, this Cubs lineup would barely be allowed in a Spring Training split squad game.

 

Over 50%?

 

We win over 59% of our games in general, so maybe I'm missing the joke.

They’ve won about 65 percent of the games he’s been a Brewer, so that would be a bad indicator.

Good job Ashby

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice inning for Ashby. That has to feel good walking off the field after a 3 up-3 down.

[folly412]

Significantly better first inning for Ashby. For starters, he got through the first inning.

[adambr2]

Odd question. With a 7 inning game, is the standard 5 innings required to make the game official or is it also shortened to 4 innings?

 

My belief is that it is 5 innings regardless of a 7 or 9 inning game. It does say 5 in the rulebook (4 1/2) if home team leading), and I can't find anything that mentions any exception for a 7 inning game.

[AKCheesehead]

Yup and dropped his ERA by 32.4

[phnxcrew]

If we get small and Ashby into the rotation with woodruff/burns/peralta it’ll be like a small market dream team rotation. hopefully we can pair a bullpen and lineup with it.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Ashby's ERA plummets all the way to 21.60

[yourout]

Mills is a lot like Zach Davies.

[wallus]

Lol at that dive...

[DuWayne Steurer]

Lol at that dive...

 

 

Called him out on the radio too. "Dove after he had the ball secured".

[jjgott]

I'm an idiot.

 

So I checked Baseball Reference. Willy has gotten at least one hit in 43 games. Our record in those games is 31-12 for a 72% winning percentage.

 

Guess it wasn't as crazy a stat as I thought.

 

[yourout]

Better throw and that guy's out

[adambr2]

Why is that a single? If it's scooped cleanly, he's out. Should be an error on somebody.

[yourout]

Ashby's going to have to do a little better job of staying away from the middle of the plate.

Way too many pitches right down the middle.

[willie key]

The game is about to get called

I think they get another inning in but that's about it.

[JET15]

The game is about to get called

 

Oo, that sky from behind home looked ominous

[folly412]

Nothing like kicking the fans out while players rush through the inning.

[homer]

I love how the lightning warning tells fans to seek shelter and the players are like "Uh, what about us?"

[adambr2]

Game should have, and could have ended a half hour ago. The Cubs are a stupid organization.

[jason21nl]

So if they cleared the stands. Why the hell are they playing

[phnxcrew]

I feel like we’re the team in the majors that makes mills have ok numbers. Have we ever hit him well?

[homer]

And suspended.
