For those wondering why Ben Brown:
Brewers are worse against fastballs, Counsell mentioned the strikeout potential over someone like Assad and he’s done pretty well on the year (in small sample sizes). 9Ks, 2ER and 2 BB in 11IP.
Why aren’t they keeping 13 pitchers? Also why Brown over Assad?
Edit-ok OP answered my question about Brown.
Ben Brown didn’t come here for a haircut.
Cubs in 4.
What’s this???? It’s Ben Brown in the left corner with the chair!!!
