I just got the game streaming.  What is up with Sal?

Might be getting day off.    Not a great game yesterday.    These guys need some rest

He didn't appear to be moving that well yesterday, in my eyes.

[kevinisaname]

Ashby looked great. I'm guessing that'll be all for him tonight.

[markedman5]

My goodness Ashby is just nasty

[folly412]

Very sharp Ashby.  Wish he was stretched out and didn't throw two days ago so we could get more.

Think they're trying to get 3 out of him

I saw Fedde warming up last inning, so I just assumed that was it. You may be right.

[tmwiese55]

With how easy that was you'd hope for 3, but they said the next guy was getting ready last inning so I don't think it's happening

Exactly. Just three weeks after deeming Cortes expendable they’re signing starting pitchers off the street praying to get innings out of them.

i don’t pretend to understand the shuffling that went around with absorbing Jansen’s and Jordan Montgomery’s salary while shedding part of Nestor’s, but with Hall, Henderson and now Megill on the IL and Misiorowski with about 20-30 innings left in his arm for ‘25; I’d sure rather have Cortes than Lockridge. 

I wouldn't.  And it's not even close. 5 years of Lockridge>>30 innings of (maybe)  league average innings.

[kevinisaname]

Vaughn, lol.

[folly412]

I know we like to stretch into third, but I did not expect Vaughn to do it there.

[kevinisaname]

Little groundout, 1-0.

[yfinn6]

That was some slide by Vaughn. 

[HarryDoyle]

Hopefully Perkins has now gotten back to being his regular bench guy self and not an offensive black hole.

I am a cubs fan that rarely posts on here for respect of another teams board, I will say that the brewers are a hell of a good team with a great chance of doing well come playoff time

[kevinisaname]

Fedde's in.

If Lockridge is here for even one more year I'd be stunned. Just screams a roster crunch DFA long before his five years are up.

Welcome! We appreciate you coming out as a Cubs fan unlike the 2-3 others that are clearly Cubs fans thinking we won't notice them trolling.

[adambr2]

Is Mona.. barking? That pitch was right down the middle. 

Going to assume he was mad at himself, not the umpire. 

[Bulldogboy]

The amount of two strike looked at strike 3 down the pipe is annoying. Especially with men on base. Good or bad that's why I love Chourio. He's not leaving to blue.

That's possible, but id still rather have that option than Nestor Cortes.

Lockridge types are a dime a dozen. I would guess he’s non-tendered/DFAed long before 2030.

Cool.  We'll see.  Nestor Cortes' are also a fime a dozen.

[Bulldogboy]

Erick Fedde? How did we get here?
