Cubs big bullpen pickup chokes.

[BCF]

4-1 Reds 

[Underachiever]

Steer with a three-run homer! 4-1 Reds

 

[Bulldogboy]

This team someone other than McGee to soak up some innings. You cannot have a blow out only pitcher.

[greenlawler]

Steer 3 run home run 4-1 Reds

[HarryDoyle]

4-1 Reds in the seventh. How good would a four game lead look?

[Brian]

Wow what a catch.

Good teams find ways to win these kind of sh** show games...  It's not all smooth sailing, sometimes you have to pull a rabbit out of your butt to hang on.

Remind me not to go to a magic show with you.

I thought you had to be a top 100 prospect at some point.  The whole idea of the pick was so teams had an incentive to bring up top prospects right away and not try to milk out an extra year of control.

Yes top 100 prospect on two of BA, MLB or ESPN top-100s.

Spencer Steer hit a 3 run homer to give the Reds a 4-1 lead in the 7th, by the way.

 

Edit: Never mind, I see it was posted.

[Joseph Zarr]

Let's talk the Real News Late in your whine fest boys:

I have seen RHP Shelby Miller's first inning as a Brewer. It was absolutely as I advertised to you. 

Utter. FILTH.

Whew dang. Just wrap him up in bubble wrap. If he recovers? Get him to Milwaukee. It was absolutely beautiful.

I thought you pulled rabbits out of hats … 

[TURBO]

Cubs losing.

I think the Mariners keeping Jarred Kelenic down when they had a hole and he was raking and considered a top prospect in the game got it into the last CBA. 

Ironic that Kelenic has turned out to be a bust, or a AAAA player depending on your preference.

[kevinisaname]

That was a much better inning for Ashby. Maybe he can pitch the 9th, too?

[Brian]

Ashby 1-2-3 quick inning. WHAT? 

[BCF]

At least Ashby got through the 8th 

Anderson for the 9th?

[HarryDoyle]

Good decision by Ashby to let Ortiz field that one. Much better inning there by him.

[yfinn6]

I totally thought that was the bottom of the 9th. Dangit. 

[edfunderburk]

Is Ashby going to get a three inning save?

That would be incredible after that 7th inning fiasco. 

[willie key]

This might be the ugliest 7-2 lead ever

[HarryDoyle]

I still think we need to score a couple more. I can't feel good about this one until the last out is recorded.

[BCF]

5-1 Reds
