6 pitches....do they have somewhere to be?

40 pitches through 4 is wild

10 innings without a run that didn’t start with a Manfred Man on 2nd.

I know we scored 2 in the 10th, but kind of feel like Dansby was pitched around with Happ on deck.

4 hits in the last 12 innings. 
 

The offense just doesn’t seem to be playing that well lately but they are still averaging close to 5 runs per game which is impressive.

5 runs could probably win this one

[UMFan83]

lol his ERA since the ASB is 7?

[UMFan83]

I know we haven’t made this guy work so far but it’s annoying to see Candelario and Madrigal both taking 2 straight strikes to start their ABs though they were well placed

[WhyCantWeWin]

This guy is gonna throw a 80 pitch cg shutout

[Tryptamine]

Yup, they aren't scoring today.

[UMFan83]

Would have been nice to have had Bellinger up as the tying run

Im shocked Happ’s consistent weak contact didn’t work out there

Feels like Ross might have tried to squeeze one inning too many out of his starter... again

[chibears55]

This is going to end up being a very disappointing game and possibly series..

With Wicks or whomever pitches this weekend could also go bad, especially if they can't score runs

[Tryptamine]

I get pulling Kyle, I don't get bringing in a guy with significant control issues when men are on 2nd and 3rd

Yeah, bringing in Captain Wild Pitch is an odd call with 2 outs and a runner on 3rd.

Well hey then we get to face the Brewers with our offense that has been struggling against pitchers with 5+ ERA

Theyll probably score a ton against the Brewers but give up a ton lol

[chibears55]

Well some off topic good news, Shaw has hit 2 homers in 2 innings tonight.

[Tryptamine]

14 innings and no runs scored other than a runner who started at 2B and an error.

[soccer10k]

This is an annoying game.

That would be awesome since the Brewers have Burnes and Woodruff lined up to face us

[UMFan83]

Cuas is pitching poorly but seeing Smyly and Keegan lining up doesn’t exactly make me feel better

You’re not wrong. 

[chibears55]

Can we please score some runs, don't really wanna see them lose 2 zip, with both runs scoring on ground outs..

[Michael Busch Light]

Swanson and Happ need to get it together now.  The palatine pounder has turned into a pumpkin as well. 

[UMFan83]

3 hard hit balls this inning and there’s 2 outs and a runner on 1st lol

[Irrelevant Dude]

At least they are hitting the ball harder now. It only took 8 innings.

[UMFan83]

Stop calling that terrible strike
