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

[brewcrewdue80]

Perdomo extended this game at least 10mins with that .2IP 32Pitches. My word it's 1115

Maybe Suter can pick up the save that he should have had Saturday.

Perdomo’s inning at Wrigley back in April was 35 pitches. So combined at Wrigley he’s gone 67 pitches, 1.2 IP, 3 H, 5 ER, 4 SO, 4 BB in those two outings.

Would think Boxberger and Norris are the only available arms left, assuming Counsell sticks with his plan of 1 inning max for all relievers.

 

Boxberger threw in game 1, would think he’d only be used in an emergency tonight.

That could be excused if it were Colorado. But Wrigley? Game Day those pitches even had a lot less movement than the previous Brewer Pitchers. So I fear he'd get rocked if he had control.

 

Also, interesting Gameday didn't even show this Wick guy as in the bullpen. Maybe the 27th player for a double header?

7 game lead in the division again! Reds got some tough NL East teams still to play. Go Crew!

Raptor in line for the save? Win?

Pretty sure Sanchez is in line for the 1-pitch win.

 

So he will likely tie the MLB record. I assume it has been done before. Wonder how many other times?

[sveumrules]

Bullpen management is an issue heading down the stretch. Counsell is going to need to give guys a chance to get more than three outs. You can't keep giving guys one inning but 5 games a week.

 

Looking through the game logs it appears Boxberger has thrown five times over a one week stretch twice.

 

Hader & Williams have not thrown five games in a week this year.

Two painful games. But two wins against the chubs. I'll take it!

Prediction.....Wisdom will become my current most hated Cub.

Actually in 2003, B.J. Ryan recorded a win without throwing a pitch for the Orioles (picked off a runner before throwing a pitch).

Looks like we’re going to see the tying run at the plate again.

Prediction.....Wisdom will become my current most hated Cub.

Contreras is definitely the leader in the clubhouse for me.

Now it’s over

Wow. Never knew that.

No fear against the sCrUBS

They made this game a lot harder than it had to be, not every game has to be managed like the WS. You're facing the Cubs, you could just go 2 innings for Strickland, 2 Cousins, 1 Suter, or Sanchez, or Norris, or something where you use about 3 guys to cover the 5 bullpen innings. You really can't pitch Perdomo in anything other than complete garbage time.

 

Cubs made things much tougher than it had to be too with this stupid split doubleheader. They're 7 inning games, normal doubleheader and you get everything done by 7p.

 

But whatever, good to sweep the DH, 7 game lead now. Things are pretty good.

[BruisedCrew]

The teams managed to play the last 5 innings in a crisp 2:20.

Forgot about him.

[willie key]

Love to get those two games back in the standings.

 

Hader has to be coming back soon

[wildcat83]

Wonder if Craig will tell us who’s starting tomorrow

Is there something I'm missing here as to why Suter doesn't get credited with a save? It's not listed on the box score.

Now it is, must've taken a proofreader to fix it.
