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

[markedman5]

9:10 restart

[BruisedCrew]

The Mets and Nats had their game called in the second inning and it shows as suspended.

That's like taunting the sabermetric notion that batting average is meaningless.

[pacopete4]

Power outage in my neighborhood and surrounding area. Can’t get my phone (AT&T) to stream anything. I have a portable internet thing (Cellular One) and that won’t work. Won’t be seeing this game I guess. Annoying.

[NYChez]

Any word on who will pitch?

Any word on who will pitch?

Not Alex Mills, he's out of the game. That might be the best news.

[Eye Black]

Tyrone Taylor will be completing the Aaron Ashby at bat as they restart.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Saurez has 22 home runs and an OPS of 630. That seems pretty hard to do

 

In 1983 Tony Armas had 36 homers while hitting .218 with a .707 OPS. Closest guy I could think of as comparable off the top of my head.

[Eye Black]

Will Smith is on to close out the Reds in the 9th. Braves currently lead 3-2.

Anyone know what’s up with Rock? Seems to be

missing a lot of games lately

Wonder when the last time someone was robbed of his first MLB at-bat mid-count because of a weather delay

Judging by the shadows Wrigley must have crappy lighting.

They don't replace the lightbulbs when they burn out.

I went back and looked up Gorman Thomas' OPS and was shocked at how high it was during his time with the Brewers (except for 1983).

Not a great start to the inning for will smith

[Bulldogboy]

Seems silly to waste Taylor in that ab there. We don't have anybody else to take a pinch ab in the third inning??

[yourout]

Yelich 1 for 18 and 20 for 100

Taylor hasn't exactly been lighting it up lately. With JBJ and um, Yelich in the lineup, really no one else to waste an AB there.

Reds lost. Cards win.

Pulled it out.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Reds have lost. Chance to get back those two from the weekend if we can grab this one.

[SomewhereInTime]

Interesting, they just flashed the Reds score and it's in the middle of the 9th with the Braves leading 3-2 at home.

[adambr2]

Atta boy Moose. Helping us out again.

[jjfanec]

Not a great start to the inning for will smith

Pulled it out.

 

Reds were low on bench players already so brought in moose for the rare pinch hit lefty vs lefty matchup
