Butler's not on the active roster right? Anyone know why? I don't recall him being hurt and given he's made starts I'm not 100% sure why they wouldn't call him up in sept.

bringing in Grimm is conceding the game.

Cause it was more important to bring up a 5th catcher in Davis to sit on bench with the others that was brought up and not playing..

I seriously don't know why he not there..
But
Maddon would just stick with same guys anyways out of pen

Grimm Pena etc etc

Get him the **** out of there, Joe.

4-0 is bad. 6-0, 7-0, 8-0 is over.

Well my thought was more I'd rather Monty out of the pen and Butler starting games again than Monty starting. I feel like part of the pens demise came when he went into the rotation. Him in the pen is just a guy who can often give you several innings a night.

7 zip now, Cause Grimm can't get anyone out..

This game all but over unless bats decide to wake up and turn it on but by then they may be down 10..

So.. remember when I said they better not just go through the motions as someone suggested..

5 game lead down to 3 and good chance to be 2 after tomorrow

No matter how bad things are during any one game, you STILL find a way to overreact.

Plenty of reason to be unhappy today - but it doesn't count toward tomorrow.

I 100% agree with that...

Why I never warmed up to them going with Monty as a starter, i always preferred and felt he was more better and valuable in the pen...

Not really sure why they think Grimm should be a part of this team. He's a 2 pitch pitcher and unless one of your pitches is really good, that usually doesn't work out well.

Brewers' announcers are pretty giddy.

Last I checked Butler was injured. They were babying Tseng the last month and spaced out his starts.

Jake was slated for missing 2 starts. Not sure on his eta

Should be. The Crew pretty much owned the central for most of the season. To think they were down and out is short sighted.
