2021-06-30: Cubs (Arrieta) at Brewers (Ashby) [Brewers win, 15-7 -- Cubs score 7 in 1st inning; Crew responds with 15 unanswered]

[markedman5]

Both team have given,up 3 unearned runs….so if they both played flawless defense today we would still be down 1

Sanchez gets through 2.1 in 28 pitches and I kind of want to sign him to a 4 yr, $60million dollar deal. #ashbyarrietaeffect

Solid work by Miggy Sanchez in a tough spot today. He's looked good so far.

[markedman5]

Nice work by Sanchez……again

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Would have been funny if Burnes instead of Lauer pinch hit here.

Adames laughing with CC in the dugout……guy seems like he’s been here for years already

[nate82]

This umpire is making Angel Hernandez look like a competent umpire!

[sveumrules]

At work, so haven't been able to watch, just checking on GameDay here & there.

 

Don't have an issue with going bullpen day here, but it seems like starting Ashby was maybe a little too much given the stakes.

 

Would have let someone who has gotten an MLB batter out before start the game & then bring in Ashby some inning in the middle when the bottom of the order is up to give him a lil easier assignment.

 

Either way, getting back in the game after that 1st inning is pretty awesome & coming back for the win to complete the sweep would be even awesome-er.

I don't know if you caught why. Lauer checked his swing on that 2-1 pitch outside and the camera cut to Counsell who was visibly scowling and he yelled to Lauer "HEY!? DON'T SWING!" ... that's why Adames broke.

[willie key]

The brewers are only down one run.

 

Wow

[magnoliacrew]

Happ just let out a saucy expression that made it on the broadcast. You love to see it.

[sixtolezcano16]

Now a bullpen game for both teams....

[markedman5]

Jace!

[Zad Fnark]

The worm turns...

[JET15]

I think he slid under that. JACE!

[JET15]

My, my... what a change from the days early in the season when we couldnt buy a run

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Tyrone Taylor has impressed the heck out of me this season. He's a legit MLB player. Probably will never be a superstar, but he's a gamer.

[Patrick425]

I'll gladly eat crow for saying we were "handing the Cubs a win" if we can pull this one out!

[wildcat83]

Counsell knew we didn’t need to waste Burns today, lol.

[Jopal78]

How many mound visits do the Cubs have left? It seems like they've been out there every few batters.

[SeaBass]

Also, is it just me or has replay been a lot more kind to the Brewers than it used to be? Not that I think that was even close to a wrong call but there was a time when I doubted any call would go their way.

[markedman5]

Ashby won’t get tagged with a loss in his big league debut…..I’m sure that won’t make him feel much better

[markedman5]

JBJ! What’s going on here?

[timpep]

If the whole team decides to stay hot for another month or 3 I certainly wouldn't complain about that.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

JBJ! What’s going on here?

 

Dude's not a bad player. Never has been. He's reverting to career norms.
