two walks ... too many pitches ... but three strikeouts 

[treego14]

Can we be done with Dunn?

More Ortiz, please!

Or Monasterio ... why is his playing time zero?

I thought he was our 2023 unsung hero!

[BruisedCrew]

Should probably just come back to the game after 3:00 and see if the Cubs bullpen is in. Can’t expect anything from the Brewers offense before that.

Pitch count not ideal.

Someone has to explain the Dunn situation. He didn't even make the team in the spring. Monteserio and Ortiz did and now these guys are watching him play every day. I don't get it.

Excerpt from MSJ article today:

Joey Ortiz out of the lineup again

Infielder Joey Ortiz has been one of the Brewers’ better bats this year but hasn’t been in any of Murphy’s three lineups this weekend.

The reasoning for that, Murphy said, is that he wanted to get at least one more look at what Oliver Dunn could do as the team weighed whether he would remain in the majors or get optioned.

“Ortiz, I consider him a starter,” Murphy said. “I’ve given Dunn this opportunity  here because I want to find out about him. It seemed to be trending the other way and maybe he needs some more seasoning. And he’s kind of stepped up both offensively, defensively, and baserunning.” 

[Brock Beauchamp]

This Cubs team is one of the worst baserunning teams I’ve seen.

Finally, Black gets one through. 

[edfunderburk]

Since Murphy continues to put Dunn in the lineup, this would be a good time for him to repay his manager's kindness 

[edfunderburk]

If I met Assad at the mall, I would not assume that he is a starting pitcher in MLB. He does not look athletic. He's a little pudgy & the glasses don't help.

[HarryDoyle]

The fact that Assad just pitched around Hoskins to get to Dunn speaks volumes.

And he pitches exactly how he looks. 

[Bulldogboy]

Contreras on track to catch 145 games. Brewers just wearing the guy down. Sanchez can't catch if he's hurt so just call up Haase. Jeez.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Peralta with way too many non-competitive pitches today. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well that was fortunate. 

[markedman5]

Cubs defense keeping it tied

[edfunderburk]

This is the type of situation that led to Black being added to our roster - to improve run production with two outs

Tumpane having a rough day behind the plate

[markedman5]

That ball was outside

 

[JRob1125]

Haven't really been following the topic so this is a serious question.....how close are we to having robo umps?

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers hitters continue to let umpires take the bat out of there hands with men on base. It's ridiculous. 

[Guest]

Is there any advanced metric that factors in bad umpiring?

That call was ridiculous - well outside
