Gray has settled in and has a pretty low pitch count.

Helps when ump calls out on strikes to the leadoff hitter twice starting innings. Who Hit a HR in between the 2.

I love the energy of this idea, and yeah, Ortiz has been brutal with the stick this year so there is a clear need. But there is absolutely no way I can envision the brass pushing Made faster than they pushed Chourio through the system. He deserves the time for everyone to be sure he's ready, and breaking camp with the big league club in 2026 just isn't it.

And as far as Pratt goes, he hasn't exactly lit the world on fire in AA so far, and his September has been particularly brutal.

Like it or not, this has run it back with Ortiz or find a stopgap written all over it.

I an all for a stopgap who can keep the seat warm. We have to question if Brewers will spend resources in that way. They more than likely will run it back and hope he improves. What makes this season all the more remarkable is it has been accomplished with one of the worst offensive players in the league. 

[kevinisaname]

This has "disaster" written all over it. First two men on.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Just a pile of excuse me hits by this annoying Card team...

This ump is frustrating as hell, too...so is Rob Z.

[kevinisaname]

Yikes. This has "game" written all over it now.

I don't disagree, but I think he can give you an inning or two somewhere from inning 1-6. I wouldn't want him later than that and he can't go through the order twice.

He might walk the first 3 batters he faces in that inning.

[willie key]

At least the cubs lost.     

[kevinisaname]

Hold 'em to one... somehow.

[kevinisaname]

The ump sucks, by the way.

I'm not sleeping on the cubs yet.  We have spot starters every game this series and then 2 series against potential playoff-bound San Diego and Cinci...

We have beat up the Pirates and Angels, but have looked lackluster against about everyone else in the past month

Brother, it's over.

[kevinisaname]

Yep, we are not winning this game. Bases clearing double.

[Bulldogboy]

Arrenado has made a living off this spot

Lame.  Another series screwed up by a short Miz start.

[Fear The Chorizo]

One of those nights

[HarryDoyle]

You couldn't bring in a better pitcher than Grant Anderson in a bases loaded, no out situation?

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

And that is Game....   Goodnight all.   We'll try again tomorrow

Go D Backs!

[adambr2]

Thanks for nothing, bullpen.

Those are game changing at bats.     We are not going to let Ortiz hit in those situations anymore.    I’m sorry

[Turning2]

Going to need some woodpeckering

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That is probably the nail in the coffin for 100 wins. Meaningless but neat. I am kind of just in a waiting game for playoff baseball now. We're either 1 (likely) or 2 and either is fine.

A reliever has to come in and throw strikes.

Well then he's a Nashville Sound.

[Bulldogboy]

Anderson hasn't gotten very many big outs in a big spot all year

That's pretty harsh - if Rob Z had anything tonight this is still a 1 run game and Anderson isnt also in this game getting shelled

I don’t think they’d be able to get to 94 wins if we forfeited every game the rest of the season.
