2021-08-10, Game 2: Brewers (Ashby) at Cubs (Mills) [Brewers win, 6-3 in 7 innings]

[owbc]

Feels good to beat up on a team of scrubs at a 3/4 empty Wrigley. The way it should be.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Cousins still has that nasty slider going, I see.

[Eye Black]

Curtiss has right elbow discomfort. Never a good sign…

His velocity had been down a few mph in his last outing, but was back up on the few fastballs he threw tonight. Doesn’t exactly sound promising.

[Bulldogboy]

Cousins has a covid slider too I see.

[wibadgers23]

We’ll it’s nice to have Cousins back!

[folly412]

Can we send Norris and Curtiss to Strickland's house for 10 days? It seems like it only helped Strickland and Cousins.

[timpep]

Coming into the game the Brewers had a winning % at AFF of .542. Their winning % at their 2nd home of Miller Park South coming into the game was .714.

 

It's nice to have two home fields.

[Eye Black]

I’m curious to see what the plan is going to be Ashby in the coming days. After throwing just 23 pitches tonight is he going to be available out of the bullpen in the coming days, or are they going to get him another start next time through the rotation. Not a great outing for the whole “staying stretched out” thing.

Seriously this Cousins guy was released by the Nats in 2019 in March and Signed by Milw in July. How did we find this guy before any other team? What an addition to this bullpen and it doesn't look fake.

[willie key]

I have a feeling Norris will pitch. Need more runs boys

[titletownking]

Wow. Straight up pathetic Yelich. Another weak infield out.

[stoutdude04]

It is amazing how bad Yelich is. Like...wow.

[Bulldogboy]

Norris pitches every day too. Give him the day off. Perdomo has to go two.

[Underachiever]

Wow, Yelich. 4 at bats, the ball didn’t travel 300 feet total

[DuWayne Steurer]

I"d say he needs a few days to just not be around baseball, but he just had that.

[yourout]

Wow. Straight up pathetic Yelich. Another weak infield out.

 

That Braun deal looks really great compared Yeliches.

[ecjimg]

Does insurance pay if he walks away with a permanent back injury?

[brewerfan82]

[sarcasm]Is Yelich struggling? I can't quite tell from the constant posts.[/sarcasm]

 

This is one of the best Brewer teams in franchise history, they have a nice lead in the division, and they're beating up on the Cubs, try to enjoy it! lol

[SomewhereInTime]

It is amazing how bad Yelich is. Like...wow.

 

Would've been a good moment to bench him too after not running that out.

[Bulldogboy]

If you didn't know Yelich was a former mvp he would be in the minor leagues right now. At no time in his career with the Brewers did Ryan Braun ever look this bad in a month much less an entire season. Dude was a different animal.

[jonescm128]

I’d say what is happening to Yelich is unprecedented but the exact same thing is happening to Bellinger. He has somehow been worse than Yelich.

[roadcrew3]

I"d say he needs a few days to just not be around baseball, but he just had that.

 

I think the opposite, he hasn’t really had consistent at bats in awhile now. Hoping he will improve after a few consecutive games of ABs

The thread is basically following the events of the game. I don't see much off sequence ranting.

[BruisedCrew]

I sometimes forget who all is in the bullpen these days. It changes from one day to the next.

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers going with Lindblom tomorrow?? Ashby sent back??
