Yeah, and don't be made that he had that post ready to go and then had to sit on it while the Brewers were up 5 and then 6 runs so he could break it out when things went sideways.

But, yeah, don't be mad at him

Aside: is there an ignore function on this site?

There is but it's not very useful as you still see the person every time they are quoted.

Ashby, Mears and Koenig to finish it out? 

In my head I was sort of picturing as we come into September if it would be absolutely crazy, if all healthy, to just run a 3 day piggyback of some combo of Henderson/Gasser/Myers/Patrick/Miz/Rodriguez and just rest the entire rest of the pen during that time for 3 days and option/IL the guys above after using them.

Just can't believe Murphy let Woodruff pitch this into a leverage situation on a night when you are probably down Megill and potentially Uribe.

Didn’t say we have.  I’m saying the rough stretch was inevitable.   

[kevinisaname]

Jarivs is simultaneously keeping them in the game and saving their bullpen. Let's get to him (again)!

There's a contingent of posters that proclaim every game lost so they can either be happy about being wrong or gloat that they told you so.

Some odd psychology at work. It's on every sports chatboard.

Good for me to know on two points then.  Thanks!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Am I missing something?  We are still winning, right?

I'd be willing to bet most of the people now acting like the Brewers will never win again while Cubs go undefeated the last 5ish weeks of the season didnt have the Brewers winning 81 games for the full season when the calendar said march. 

Calm down already

I'm not particularly excited about the Packers.

Nor am I. I hope they'll do well, but I dunno. As for the Brewers, I'm just hoping we don't see a September collapse.

You're in luck. It's an August collapse 😜

Eff.

I tune in and we're up 6-0.

I go downstairs to get some ice for my knee,  when I get back, it's 6-5.

I'm in luck? Perhaps I should buy a lottery ticket. 😁

I dont know how Ashby gets hit ever when his stuff looks like this.  99 with sink and tail and that filth of a hook?

Yet you most likely didn't put a cent on that outcome anywhere. 

So his opinion on it is only valid if he gambled money on it ??

For real, or just funnin' ??

It doesn't always. Sometimes it's pretty straight and gets him trouble. But tonight looks good! Maybe he eats some innings.

[jason21nl]

Ashby has incredible stuff.  It moves all over the place.   Its crazy how he ever gets hit

Getting ice will do that sometimes. 😄

It's the wurst thing for a 6 run lead.

No 🧢

[Bulldogboy]

Hopefully no jinx here but Ashby being better than ever has been huge. Wondering if he gets another shot at starting next year.

[kevinisaname]

Man, I really hope Ashby can be a starter in this league. Nasty stuff.

Ok. It's my fault. I'll stay away until we get the W.

Misses middle-middle or is wild and puts hitters into hitter counts where they can just sit on a pitch.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Nobody even within a foot of that hook
