No help from blue that inning, but this should be the first and last game that Ashby opens in the playoffs.

You gotta explain to me why we just allowed Ashby to face two right with Mears warming. I gotta hear it

Because if you put in Mears to face Tucker, then Busch would have came in

I think this is a mistake.

I don't really understand the instinct for a bullpen game either, but here we are.

I mean he SKYBALLED that homer

I was prepared for it to be caught at the wall.

If this is a bullpen game we should have action in the bullpen the whole game.  Don't get burned because you didn't have someone up in time.  This is our second game in 8 days and we have another day off tomorrow.

Ashby is better?

The mistake was getting cute with this reverse bullpen thing. Whatever happens now isn't on Mears and I don't know who else you go with here.

This ump is pure trash

Never thought I'd say this: ROBO UMPS!

Just get the challenge system so those terrible misses get eliminated - thats the type of call that can swing a series in the playoffs.

 

This ump is something else

[trwi7]

This guy calls nothing at the top of the zone either.

I didnt even think it would make the track.

F this umpire.  Tired of it

[BCF]

Another missed call 

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Got out of the ump-assisted jam scoreless, thankfully.

[adambr2]

This umpire should be investigated.

He didn’t struggle against the Brewers. 

His MO has been giving up the big homer this second half.

After 2 impressive strike outs, single, single, Dinger !!

I'm not worried at all.

[Bulldogboy]

Thank God.  I just want Mike Caldwell to start and go 8.

[yourout]

Big pitch to get the popup.

[RobertCrawley]

Let's get the lead here.

I don't normally mention the umpires, but Mike Estabrook is having a night already.

A nickel would be nice.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Can't wait to see the zone suddenly change this inning. This feels like a game Rickie Weeks is going to finish. 

[duewizard]

Got out of it. Barely

[wOOgiE22]

Wow this ump is horrendous. The best umps should be installed for the playoffs, not this trash. 

[liveforoctober]

I have no idea what to feel right now. We won 19 out of the last 20 starts Priester made and we have a home crowd and we are throwing a bullpen game. I guess we don't have full trust in Quintana so we are trying to steal one now? I'm spinning a bit..
