Braves (Elder) vs Cubs (Horton): 9/3/25, 6:40pm

[mk49]

No hitter!  I don't think Cade will be back for the 6th.
 

[Tryptamine]

That should do it for Horton.

[Tryptamine]

2.78 ERA and over 100 IP now. 

[mk49]

More than likely, Ben Brown will come up next.  We need more runs.

[PackLandVA]

The Reds were up 5-0 after two innings.  Jays have scored in every inning since and lead 8-5 in the bottom of the 7th.

I think in the last 2 months, ERA is less than 1.50.

The only runs he's given up since the break are the run Kittredge let score in Toronto and the two in Coors.

Oh, I remember that one.  He was done in the middle of the 2nd.

The Cubs sure do seem to be getting thrown out stealing an awful lot lately.

Is there’s a game 3, is Horton your starter or will the limited pitch count still be in effect and it’s Taillons spot? He’s earned it.

Game 3? He's my Game 2

I also would prefer Boyd being a veteran an all to be that guy in a must win Game 3 scenerio

I thought Shaw got a huge jump, I didn't expect it to be even close.

I agree.  Shota, Cade, then Boyd would be the way to go.

Ben Brown in a one run game scare me though.

What? He gave up 2 runs in 6 innings in Colorado. I think you are thinking of Houston. 

[Tryptamine]

Please god Brown, just pitch to your very high ceiling for one game.

Perfect pitch to throw for the catcher

Ben gave up at least one run in the last 10 games or so, if I remember correctly.  The Cubs just need to score more.

[Neuby]

Browns an interesting choice.

So many uncompetitive pitches.

[UMFan83]

Not a smart idea to start 3-0 to the 8 and 9 hitters to bring up Acuna, Olsen, Albies, etc 

[UMFan83]

As bad as Brown has been, that’s 3 strikes called balls so far. Grr

Ump is squeezing Brown too, that's the 2nd call he hasn't gotten.
