Would have gone for Patrick

[titletownking]

Called it before the first pitch, hate Ashby here. Cubs have hit him. 

[titletownking]

Better have a damn short leash on Ashby

[yourout]

Pucker time now.

[kevinisaname]

Dammit, Ashby.

[trwi7]

Oh God Ashby.  

[Beer n Cheetos]

Just now, yourout said:

Pucker time now.

REALLY tight pucker… 😬

[yourout]

This has to be his last hitter

[titletownking]

Ashby is a head case

This is the season right here.  Fall behind and its going to be Cubs high leverage arms the rest of the way.

Agreed. Tough when they hit a LD right there at the 2B. 

It isn’t tough though, it’s little league baseball. Freeze on liners.

instead the second the ball was hit he thought 3rd base. And he got burned.

[titletownking]

Dude is melting down in real time and this was an awful decision with Koenig, Mears and Uribe all fresh. 

[RobertCrawley]

Come on, Ashby. Get it together.

[titletownking]

Where is Chris Hook?????!!!!!

[treego14]

Ashby ... great stuff ... but erratic ...

[Nola Beery]

I'm not usually a second guessing pretend manager. But I would have left Megill and Miz each in for one more inning. 

[kevinisaname]

Holy crap, Ashby. Playing with fire, but Ks Tucker.

[Frisbee Slider]

Too much plate to Busch and Tucker

[duewizard]

Nice to get the K. Now pull him

[BCF]

What a pitch by Ashby 

[treego14]

Big K of Tucker!

[kevinisaname]

He can't face Ashby, right? OK, he's not.

[BCF]

Murphy is playing it exactly how I would so far pitching wise 

[RobertCrawley]

Ashby just didn't have it tonight.

[duewizard]

Patrick now?? With runners on? He needed the clean inning. Put Mears/Koenig in to get out of it and give Patrick the next inning
