Now I'm for trying to get another inning. Facing 6-8 batters next inning.

Nice job by this young man. Very nice.

THEY ACTUALLY ATTENDED THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL? Wow.

 

Okay, so this isn't actually true. Maybe I misheard Jeff, but the two Jasons did not go to the same high school.

Having been stabbed in the back and the face, I prefer in the face.

Thanks for the free out on the bases cubbies!

CC has been letting guys go deeper this season it seems. At least if they're pitching ok. At least that's what my mind is telling me, might not be actually true.

Really impressed with what Alexander managed to do tonight, really great work going 6.

 

Pitchers were on a strict innings and pitch limit last year coming off of a 60-game season.  Just about every team had these limits last year.

Frank Schwindell went to the same HS as Jason Alexander the actor is what they said. Still . What are the chances lol

Constanza with a heck of a game today 

[Brewcrew82]

Stay hot Jace!

I wish Cain would have the all time take sign on haha

[Robocaller]

7 pitch strikeout to Cain with only 1 strike thrown. He really SHOULD try the Yelich method.

He'd just K faster.  Unfortunately with the quality of umpires a player has to swing at anything within 6 inches of the strike zone.

[NBBrewFan]

Quality AB for Wong

[Brewcrew82]

I would prefer Milner here with 2/3 lefties coming up. But hope Alexander can continue to prove me wrong. 

[folly412]

I'd have gone with Milner with the lefties up.  Bold move here.

Yeah. Counsell's giving Alexander the "Burnes treatment" just a little too much for my liking....

[Robocaller]

Alexander's GO:FO is 12:0

Were 5 of the 6 hits ground balls?

[Underachiever]

OH MY GOD IF THERE IS ANOTHER CHEAP HIT IN THIS SERIES I MIGHT LOSE MY MIND!

[Underachiever]

Well done. Well done. 

[YelichPosse]

Pick this man up and get him a dub!

[DuWayne Steurer]

good game, kid. 

[Brewcrew82]

Wow. Surpassing all of our wildest expectations. I wasn't one of the people calling him Alec Bettinger, but I sure as heck didn't expect this. Well done, sir! 

[Robocaller]

buy that man a beer.

Think Alexander will stay up? 

[HarryDoyle]

Wow! Very impressive debut for Alexander, but I really doubt he'll make it as a big league pitcher. A couple of bad starts and he'll be called Cantstandya.
