2021-10-03: Brewers (Anderson) at Dodgers (Buehler) [Brewers lose, 10-3 -- Bring on the Postseason]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Ashby is exceptionally wild in this inning. Also seems to be throwing a lot of offspeed pitches. Plus two infield hits.

[Eye Black]

Rough way to give up the lead. Ashby doesn’t seem to have much feel for his pitches today.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Throw strikes.

[adambr2]

If Ashby is a replacement for Devin Williams, he is not inspiring much confidence today.

[markedman5]

Ashby’s lapses in command make him a risky option for high leverage innings in the playoffs

[jjgott]

[jason21nl]

This is laughable how crappy the last couple weeks have gone

[Eye Black]

Well, that’s a depressing appearance for Ashby who had looked pretty good lately.

[titletownking]

Brewers wounded and crawling into the playoffs.. don’t like this at all. For all the articles written about it I Guess we will see how much momentum plays into the playoffs. Edited October 3, 2021 by titletownking

[adambr2]

I hope this team can figure it out in October, because they've been playing some really bad baseball.

[jason21nl]

Throw strikes.

 

At least it was a strike

[yourout]

Man it seems like they give up a lot of grand slams.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

About wanting the Dodgers knocked out before the NLCS….at this point, I don’t care if the Cardinals manage to do so with their voodoo magic. Don’t want to face the Dodgers at all.

Fortunately it looks like the Giants are going to finish the West themselves, because they certainly received no help from us.

[TURBO]

Finally, an end to this ridiculous mess of the past few weeks.

 

We look completely uninspired.

 

Hope we have that switch ready to be flipped.

[willie key]

Their bullpen is garbage right now. That’s the part that needs to be better Friday

 

Devin Williams is pissing me off

[pacopete4]

The winning or losing is something I don’t care about. But seeing Ashby not look great lately has me wondering he can be relied on in the playoffs. Couple that with the Williams injury and Box seemingly hitting the wall and the bullpen is questionable to say the least.

Nah, don't worry, no big loss. We have a great bullpen, Ashby will step right in, we won't miss Williams at all.

I agree. I’m not worried about the starters. And our offense is what it is.

 

The bullpen was a big reason we are we are. And we can’t be blowing leads in the playoffs. Somebody needs to step up

[Eye Black]

The biggest thing with Ashby is he’s susceptible to inconsistency. Unfortunately that’s pretty common with young pitchers. When he’s on his stuff looks dynamite. When he can’t command his stuff [or get the break he’s looking for] he looks almost unpitchable. Hopefully the former shows up in the postseason.

Well, CC's approach the these last couple of weeks only matters if they aren't ready to play next weekend. If they aren't, it's certainly open to criticism. If they are, none of this matters.

This game doesn’t matter Ashby just grooved that pitch on purpose

[MoreTrife]

Swear word this approach. Hope the naysayers like me are wrong.

Agree with this. They won their division and earned the right to give guys a decreased work load before the playoffs. If it doesn’t work then there will be plenty of opportunity to second guess, but for now it’s the way they believed gave them the best chance for success in the Postseason.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I think everyone is concerned about how this team has looked lately. Even those saying they aren't, imo, are talking themselves out of it. I think it's completely possible, if not likely, they come out looking great on Friday. But it's hard to sit through the last 3 weeks and feel great.
