People acting like this is all over but the champagne. Cubs play nobody down the stretch and we are determined to use 8 guys a night.

Some also act like every time the Brewers lose the Cubs are about to take the division lead.  Just relax.

Two actually.

If not for his personality & ability to build camaraderie with his players, Murphy wouldn’t be anyone’s choice for Manager of the Year 

He is not good in the actual game management portion of his job

I fear he will be exposed in the playoffs … even if he wins another award

Not saying the injury would have been avoided but pitching Ashby another inning shortens the game.  Wouldn’t need to go to all these dudes.   Murphy is a rah rah guy.  He’s blowing his guys out 

I mean Ashby is probably the most overworked guy in the pen.

Pretty chatty for a dead guy. :)

Taking him out was the wrong move.  I’ll die on that hill.

Not even close.  Ashby is likely to finish 5th in IP and only because of the McGill injury. Uribe is a guy who is likely to feel some effects.

I’m not going to get on Murphy too hard but he did not manage a good game today.

[kevinisaname]

I don't have confidence in this one if we don't tie it in this half inning. Off to a bad start...

Just stating facts bro. Brewers are not out of the woods here and if the manager continues down the road of not using his eyes instead of his gut it will be much tighter than it should be.

[adambr2]

You could even argue that taking Mona out of the lineup already on Day 1 of Ortiz being back was somewhat questionable.

[kevinisaname]

Yeah, we ain't scoring two+.

[HarryDoyle]

So you want to be a catcher, huh?

[BarremlensTSSC]

FWIW, this is a pretty good AB by Chourio, regardless of outcome.

Ashby seems to be one that if he's sharp coming in he's good for three innings. 

It's always that first inning for him that can be shaky.

Atlanta sac bunting their way to an L.

finished it with a walk after that long time out.  Really good stuff from Chourio there.

[adambr2]

These corners and edges haven’t been there for Brewer pitchers all day.

[adambr2]

Man these innings are frustrating. We get some things going but we don’t sequence it. Get a walk and a hit buuut the two preceding guys struck out.

I saw that too. Was going to wait until they didn't score to post it. SMH

Yelich just had a pitch to smash
