Can't tell if the Cubs hitters are just bad or if Rea's stuff is better than normal today, but he's dicing them up through 2 innings.

You just compared Ohtani to Tehran………and we are being ridiculous? 🤔

The injury moron. 

"This wasn't something we wanted to do said Counsell, but we set a priority of … kind of making sure that the pitchers we're going to count on in the next round went into it in a good situation, and so unfortunately it was something we had to do," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.

Teheran, who made two All-Star teams while pitching for the Atlanta Braves from 2011-19, had spent 2022 out of the majors before making a comeback this season hip and arm issues.

Teheran isn't injured. He just got DFA'd so the Brewers can keep the actual pitchers who will pitch in the playoffs fresh this last weekend. That's literally what Counsell said.

Believe it or not, there have been 65 games this season when Milwaukee has not GIDP

Sounds like a lot of fans for the Chicago team are in attendance

And Counsell's quote in the USA Today, Bally's MLB.com and Milwaukee Juounal ar false.

So no matter how well he pitches tonight...Colin Rea doesn't make a postseason roster...right?

[Brewcrew82]

Well good thing this is potentially Kyle Hendricks’ last start for the Cubs. We’ll never hit that guy.

I'm going with no but he's making it tough. I kinda trust him more than Houser but that's just me.

Yeah. He probably gets optioned back to AAA after today. Him Boushley, Andrews likely all pitch today and then Lauer, Megill, and some other AAA pitcher will be up tomorrow.

2-0 swing by Caratini leading off the 3rd. Then a 2-0 swing by Turang for the 2nd out. Then 1st -ball swinging comebacker by Contreras for the 3rd out.

They have a bullpen that's seen a lot of use, but apparently we want Hendricks to go 8-and-a-third tonight.

I was starting to think the same thing.

Colin pitching a gem. I really hope he gets a good contract with someone next year. Maybe with us in a similar role even.

I like Teheran.  But I'm just gonna have to trust CC on this (and everything else until about Christmas).

Yes, I agree also CC knows what the deal is and you put your best at the moment on the field.
