Cubs (Peterson) vs Brewers (Harrison): 6/27/26, 6:10pm

[mk49]

Peterson could pitch 2 more innings, if the Brewers don't start hitting more.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I know Turang hit it pretty well but wow that's a quick hook for Tyler fn Ferguson 

[PeanutPunch33]

Just for vanity purposes I wish they let him get that last out so my 6 IP/2ER prediction could have come true lol 

[mk49]

Is Counsell scared of SP injuries now?

[Neuby]

Thought counsel would have let him finish the inning considering he was rested and our pen sucks,

[Papa Cub]

Why?? Someone please help this make sense. Take Peterson out with what, 70 pitches? Facing Contreras? He could have gone 7

”save the arms” strategy hasn’t faired too well for them. I just don’t get Counsell

Man - I seriously don’t get his thinking. Win or lose - what sense does that make? 69 pitches? Lol

Hey Turd Ferguson hit 98, maybe he can stick around

Peterson has been a starter all season lol - why be scared of anything. Win games.

He has been in the pen lately. Maybe he isn’t stretched out as much as he would like. This is one of those cases where I believe the manager knows better than we do. Regardless of how it plays out, maybe Peterson was done at 70.

(Very much in a good way)

WTF is going on with Ferguson's velocity?!

Peterson has not been a starter all season. He wasn’t in the Mets rotation at the time of the trade.

That's what I meant.  I thought Peterson would pitch to the 7th.

Nice job Peterson

I stand corrected - I thought he was in their rotation the whole time

Peterson has only three starts since May 4th. He's not fully stretched out because the Mets have been bouncing him between the rotation and the pen.

I appreciate you and @Rcal10 for the explanation. I was under the impression he was in the Mets rotation the whole time. 
He was humming along, so it was shocking to see him pulled out after 5.2 innings 

[Illiterate Scholar]

I'd also say that's the exact pocket of 2 hitters to make the move. Contreras and Vaughn getting a 3rd look at a soft ish tossing lefty ain't ideal

All good. I would have liked to see him finish that inning. But I figured he was only good for 70-80 pitches.
