Brewers (Ashby) vs Phillies (Nola): 6/5/24, 3:05pm

[Brewcrew82]

Why is Frelick swinging for the fences. 

[wiguy94]

Frelick really swinging for the fences a few times today. Don't love seeing that.

[wiguy94]

8 straight balls from Ashby to Stubbs today. Can't be walking a weak hitting backup catcher twice.

[Brian]

Better get the bull pen going.

[Brewcrew82]

You cannot walk those two hitters for the top of the order. 

[yfinn6]

That'll do it. Thanks for playing, Brewers. 

[Oxy]

that was a predictable dinger.

[Joseph Zarr]

In 2024, Aaron Ashby can walk anybody and everybody. You literally never know what you're getting.

Pat Murphy getting a gut on him, to many cheese steaks. 

He & Bryse Wilson probably eat meals together often

[LouisEly]

Not pretty, but not bad.  2 runs in 5 IP - can't expect a lot better than that against this offense. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Hey 5 IP, 2 ER with this version of Ashby? Can not expect any better vs this Phillies lineup. Saves the Pen to a degree. Doesn't completely embarrass himself or the club. This is a big W regardless of how this game goes on many more levels than a simple W/L. It's early June. Phillies are studs. 

[Oxy]

So, so close to a GREAT outing from Ashby, but I'll take a good outing.

With Joey Chestnut

[Brewcrew82]

Well, we were due to get swept at some point. Can't expect your pitching to be perfect.

He looks tired to me, he doesn't hustle like he did early in the season.

I wonder why?

Catchers need days off, it's as simple as that.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Scoring 2 runs across 25 innings of offense and counting isn't going to win you many 3 game series, particularly against one of the best teams in all of baseball.

Start hitting, please!

Joey doesn't have a gut.  Nor do hardly any of those competitive eaters.  Metabolism is a funny thing.

[Brewcrew82]

Geez. Nothing is falling this series.

Can’t take a day off when you have a chance to break a record that nobody knows or cares about.

Might as well get swept by the #2 team in the power rankings. 

[wiguy94]

We've faced good pitchers in this series who have been on their game, but man the offense pretty much isn't even putting up a fight. Won't get any easier facing Olson and Skubal against the Tigers. Bats need to wake up or it could be an ugly road trip.

[BruisedCrew]

After their hot start to the season, the Brewers have become road weaklings. This makes losses in 5 of the last 6 series and a sweep here would make them 6-12 in those games. 

They haven’t won a road series since the sweep over the Cardinals in mid April.

They’ll be facing some tough pitchers in Detroit too so the offense is going to have to find something to win that one. 

[Gump]

Those Philly uniforms are atrocious 

[treego14]

We are what we are!

We are an excellent Division 3 (small-market) team!

Come on MLB, even the payrolls -OR- give us 3 champions, one for each division:  Division 1 (large market), Division 2 (medium market), and Division 3 (small market).

Otherwise, we can never be more than pretenders in the current baseball financial structure!

I know why Counsell left ... 

[yourout]

Unless they get bit by the injury bug the Phillies are the team to beat in the NL and I don't think it's even close. The dodgers don't have the pitching staff that the Phillies do.
