Woodruff looking pretty sharp so far.

[SomewhereInTime]

Good at bats so far, just nothing to show for them yet

[markedman5]

Woodruff looking pretty sharp so far.

 

Yes he is. He didn't give up many runs in other starts but his command wasn't good......looks more relaxed tonight so far.

They mentioned on the broadcast that he had some stuff he was working on in the minors when he was sent down. Look like that option time did him good.

Thank you Daniel Murphy for giving us an out!

[DuWayne Steurer]

What just happened? How did kendrick not score with murphy trying to get to 2nd?

[Greenleaf1]

Just out of curiosity, would Murphy jumping over Sogard's head count as some sort of interference if Kendrick tried to score and Sogard couldn't throw home?

Murphy tried to "catch us sleeping" with nobody on second but 2 guys not too far away. Villar lobbed it in and sogard easily beat murphy to the bag.

Nice double by Thames and he's in scoring position, but wish he was a bit faster to get to 3rd there when the ball trickled to Zimmerman. Z can't throw worth a crap and Thames' momentum might have allowed him to get into 3rd easily. Ah well.

[markedman5]

Alright! The lefty Lineup comes through!

I mean he is a first baseman.

[jjgott]

Need to capitalize here. Hope we can chase a hobbling Scherzer.

 

EDIT: Drat.

[pacopete4]

Rockies down 3-0 in the first.

[markedman5]

I know they don't have Harper but it is really encouraging how Davies, Nelson and now Woodruff have controlled this offense.

[markedman5]

Defense in right field!

[markedman5]

Lol

[yfinn6]

Wow, when is the last time the Brewers have caught a break like that where a dribbler through the infield scores a runner from 1st?

 

Got a lead now! More runs!

[PinaMadness]

That was a weird play.

[lcbj68c]

I love windmill Ed Sedar.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Just have to say that at this point ... Scherzer is out of the game, its the 6th inning, and the Brewers are winning. Crucial to hang on and win a game that you would have kind of figured for an L with Scherzer starting. Cant lose this one now.

[markedman5]

Murphy has about as much range as I do......ok that might be stretching it a bit

[PinaMadness]

Two fortuitous bounces in a row. Will things finally turn our way?

[markedman5]

Hitting 96 on pitch number 102...

[PinaMadness]

Woody goes seven strong! It's Swarzak/Hader time.
