Game Thread (5/30/2022 - Game 2): Brewers (Ashby) at Cubs (Smyly) - 6:40 PM CDT

Has anyone noticed that Caratini never tags out a hitter when a guy strikes out on a ball in the dirt? I mean the hitter can just stand there in front of him and he turns around and throws it to first…..loL

Ashby has been great! I know he had a horrible debut against the cubs. Another reason to not worry about Small yet.

Sweet catch!

[markedman5]

What a catch by Taylor…..wow

[igor67]

Almost makes up for Urias getting robbed in the 1st. Gives Ashby a chance to come out in the 7th.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Taylor’s grab will be in contention for Brewers catch of the year. Great effort and game situational pressure. 

[Frisbee Slider]

Just noticed the Brewers team ERA is second best in the NL. Incredibly, the Dodgers are # 1 by more than a half a run per game. 2.67 team ERA for the Dodgers…

Ashby has the second best pure stuff of all the Brewers starters. It has been a luxury to have him get his feet wet as he has but it is time to let him do his thing. Lauer and Ashby as lefties is pretty incredible.

The two letters between the S(trikethrough) and hyperlink icons in the comment box.  It's grayed out for some reason so it might not look like it's active.

I’m guessing it stands for sarcasm.

[Nola Beery]

Triple play?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Ashby done in by several infield hits. Feels like his appearance in Philadelphia back in April.

Most annoying half inning since the Nats bunted for 6 hits in 1 inning a week ago. ?

Yes

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Big strand job by Boxberger. Gets out of the jam scoreless to pick up Ashby. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

All Boxberger had to do was throw a strike to Simmons and that was the outcome. Well done.

Better now

[patrickgpe]

That Houdini act was impressive. 

[adambr2]

It is really refreshing to see the baseball gods not reward the Cubs for all their weak contact that inning. 

[HarryDoyle]

Think Box should come out for the 8th and have Hader finish it off, but CC doesn't operate that way.

[Nola Beery]

How about a few runs now.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn, Tyrone.

[DuWayne Steurer]

So.  That doesn't only happen to us.  INteresting....
