That's not a triple. What is he doing.

It shows how big of a team player he is skipping the glory of another cycle to instead just a hit a HR

[edfunderburk]

Torpedo bats are outdated

Everyone needs Uecker bats

[liveforoctober]

Are we really also getting MVP Yelich back for the stretch run?!

Uecker is so good to us man...

[kevinisaname]

Time for another shutdown inning. Top of the lineup...

[markedman5]

15 hits through 6

[kevinisaname]

Ashby vs. this part of the lineup worries me a little bit, I must admit.

[markedman5]

Yeli raising his ops by 27 points in one game……in August.

[HarryDoyle]

Yelich should just opt to stay at third 😀

That raises a scoring question I don't actually know the answer to: how is it scored if you hit a home run but fail to touch homeplate?

A triple + and out on the basepaths?

[yfinn6]

Ashby.. love ya bud..  but I think it's time to give your head the permanent buzz cut. 

[wallus]

100 from Ashby....

[Brian]

Ashby 100 mph pitch where did that come from.

[kevinisaname]

Ump cost us strike 3 there.

[adambr2]

Man these Red fans are babies. That Strike 3 to Friedl had plenty of the plate.

[BCF]

Ashby throwing gas tonight and another missed strike 3 by this ump 

He cannot call that low strike right at all 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

This team is unbelievable

Meh, pretty close pitch. He’s called way worse tonight.

Don’t throw to the lower outside part of the strike zone with this umpire. He isn’t aware that it exists.

It might be the entire bottom of the zone now.

It was close but it was a strike

i agree it was far from his worst 

[kevinisaname]

Fantastic job by Aaron. I was nervous for nothing!

[markedman5]

That was nice Ashby

[BCF]

Ashby for one more and then Uribe/CK?

I’m all about calling out umps for bad performance. But I’m more about doing it on egregiously bad calls — to me these ones split hairs — pitches like this will be 50/50 until the robots are here (which can’t happen soon enough).
