[HarveysWBs]

What the heck, Brewers. I leave you guys alone for three innings…

What the heck, Brewers. I leave you guys alone for three innings…

 

So this is YOUR fault.

[PinaMadness]

Well, this explains alot. I didn't know this.

 

[wOOgiE22]

Ashby has some nasty movement on his fastball.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Just browsing schedules. My goodness is the Cards September brutal. Dodgers, Brewers, Padres, Reds. If they make the playoffs, they'll have earned every bit.

[adambr2]

If we get blown out today and Ashby looks amazing for 3 innings or so

, I think I'll feel more good than bad about today.

 

Although we need good Freddy back too.

[wOOgiE22]

If Ashby can follow the same path as Corbin, Woody, and Freddy this rotation is going to be crazy good 1-4.

[PinaMadness]

10-3 Tigers in the sixth, so we got that going for us.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I know it's 8-0. And Cain walk should have been a K.

 

But that's nowhere close on Yelich.

Freddy needs to get back to normal. That’s our formula to win the whole darn thing

[wOOgiE22]

Hate to keep harping on the umps. But my God do they suck.

The best game we have had called all year was the other day by the part timer Alex Tosi.

[Bulldogboy]

Ashby too good to be pitching in blowouts. Where is Daniel Norris when you need him?

[wibadgers23]

Reds down 10-3 now so our magic number will probably go down tonight anyway.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Reds down 10-3 now so our magic number will probably go down tonight anyway.

 

Yup. All things considered, you take it. Would be worse to spend the A pen and lose in extras.

 

Plus, Ashby is a positive.

 

If everything holds, our magic number will be 17 v. Cards and Reds, so would have to win tomorrow to drop it again.

[adambr2]

Yelich ejected apparently.

 

We're just here for the nightly 3 hour Ump Show, and the players are fortunate enough to get to be involved in supporting roles and as extras.

[wOOgiE22]

Counsell bringing Topa in the 3rd got me scratching my head. Instead he is now wasting Ashby in a meaningless game.

He wasn't even arguing that much. Wow.

Agreed. Ashby should have probably started the game. Then to waste him here is rough. Hope they don't send him down with the old we need a fresh arm angle.

[wOOgiE22]

Is that 4 ejections in the last month or so? Omar, Avi, Rowdy and now Yelich?

It always seems that worse the call the shorter the leash.

[Bulldogboy]

Corey Knebel with the biggest start of his career tonight.

[BruisedCrew]

My guess is that they intended to bring Ashby in tonight no matter what to let him throw a few innings and then start next Wednesday. I don’t know why they didn’t bring him in in the third unless they wanted him to have more time to get ready, like a starter would warm up. But I don’t think he is being wasted tonight because he wasn’t going to be used any closer to Wednesday anyway.

[adambr2]

I guess maybe they are just looking bigger picture with Ashby here. Want to get him some long work, even in a blowout game, and continue grooming him for a likely multi inning middle relief role in the playoffs.

 

Honestly none of our games individually are all that important anymore. Just need to not go into a prolonged tailspin of losses and that's about it.

Opening in place of David Price, who was scratched.
