2018-04-06: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (Woodruff) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4]

[adambr2]

Pitch to Kris Bryant right down the middle -- called a ball.

 

Pitch to Eric Thames a couple inches above the strike zone -- called a strike.

 

MLB umpires are so bad.

[Eye Black]

It seemed like Woodruff was having trouble locating his pitches in the first inning, several occurrences where he was off target.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Really good hack by Braun at a 2-0 pitch...

[82brewcrew82]

At least his fastball gets over 91

[pacopete4]

I’ll take watching this any day over what I watched yesterday.

[yfinn6]

Holy cow, this is a tight zone.

 

Seems like Brian Anderson brings up beards at least once a game and yes, we all know Rock can't grow a beard.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

That’s better Woody!!

[82brewcrew82]

What was that? What just happened?

[topper09er]

getting lucky, nibble on the corners to Zobrist and walk him, then throw a pitch right down the middle to Bryant.

[adambr2]

Holy cow, this is a tight zone.

 

Tell that to Thames. Just seems like a bad zone so far.

[Ulice Payne]

I think they've got some runs in them tonight. They can't be shut out 3 games in a row, right?

[folly412]

Remember the Braun walk off? Yeah, that's the last time we've scored a run.

[cnycerveceros]

Consecutive 10 pitch innings? That's a thing?

[adambr2]

We are on 20 consecutive innings without a run. Getting really sick of the offensive futility. We expected the rotation to suck, but the offense should be better than this.

[yfinn6]

Holy cow, this is a tight zone.

 

Tell that to Thames. Just seems like a bad zone so far.

 

Meh, he's not calling much (or anything) down or low on the corners. That pitch to Thames may have been high but didn't look nearly as bad as some of the misses (again, in my opinion) that he's had for both teams.

[Eye Black]

Remember the Braun walk off? Yeah, that's the last time we've scored a run.

When was the last time they led in a game that wasn’t a walk off ending, last Saturday?

[yfinn6]

Ok, now I'll admit that ump sucks. Russell shoulda been struck out looking.

[adambr2]

My God this homeplate ump flat out sucks. Almost cost us 2 runs.

[cnycerveceros]

Umpires serve no purpose but aesthetics and tradition. They're unnecessary. Replace them with computers.

[pacopete4]

Houser up for next inning? This is ridiculous.

[bylo tesi me]

76 pitches in 3 innings,

[pacopete4]

This will tick me off if we don’t pinch hit for Woodruff but he gets pulled sometime in the 4th.

[cnycerveceros]

Woodruff with the best ab of the night.

[Boomer5]

Maybe if we paid Cain more money he could get a clutch hit?

[cnycerveceros]

We need this Braun. Something. Anything.
