2018-09-25: Brewers (Gonzalez) at Cardinals (Gomber) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 12-4 -- Braun 2 HRs, Yelich for MVP of NL, AL, & Universe]

Anyone up behind Woodruff??

They gotta get some length out a woodruff here

[YelichPosse]

Woodruff’s stuff looks good , let’s hope that stays true

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Anyone up behind Woodruff??

Yep ... if he gets in trouble, certainly get someone up. But two innings, if not three, would be ideal here.

[HarveysWBs]

Is Coach Cooper a golf pro too?

 

Only in the offseason. You never swing a golf club during the season, as it will mess up your swing. Even worse than doing the HR derby.

[topper09er]

I want the division now just to avoid Colorado. I'm not sure they're going to lose another game.

 

The Phillies are just done right now. Take that score with a grain of salt.

 

Gabe Kapler forgot to tell their starting pitcher to warm up before the game

[tmwiese55]

More runs for Pittsburgh!

 

Coach Cooper doesn't look at the scoreboard. Just get the W in front of you. After tonight there's most likely only 15 games left in the season if you win every game. I guarantee a championship team like the Cubs don't know that we're winning right now, pedigree. Heck, they probably don't even know MKE is 1.5 back

[82brewcrew82]

Boy I hope Woodruff gets some serious consideration for the rotation next spring.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Woodruff’s stuff looks good , let’s hope that stays true

 

Woodruff has top 5 stuff of anyone in the system. If he has his command and can locate his pitches, he's nearly unhittable.

[SRB]

Woodruff looks great. How huge would 3.0 IP be here?

[PinaMadness]

Woodruff is a blessing tonight.

[Eye Black]

I think I have been among the highest on Woodruff since his minor league days, but I can envision a scenario where he becomes a mid-rotation staple in future seasons. Looks confident tonight.

[HarveysWBs]

Woody looking strong. Then again, once upon a time a couple hours ago, Gio looked good, too...

[topper09er]

Why would anyone think any view other than directly behind the pitcher is a good way to watch baseball

[B-Train]

Index finger vertically placed in front of lips.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

Boy I hope Woodruff gets some serious consideration for the rotation next spring.

 

He sure looks good doesn't he. Too many options for 5 spots would be a nice problem to have.

[LouisEly]

More 97 mph fastballs on the edge of the zone please.

Woody, busting 97 mph heat on the edge of the zone. All night long.

 

Now, this brings up the dilema - if the Brewers don't go 1-2-3 it puts them in a position to pinch-hit for Woodruff... but I'm not sure I want that. Woody is a decent hitter though.

[Bulldogboy]

Nice work. Woodruff has been huge in September. His confidence is through the roof now to go with great stuff.

[YelichPosse]

Woodruff’s stuff looks good , let’s hope that stays true

I admit that I was with the crowd that forgot him so go speak earlier in the year but it seems it really had a lot to do with the up down up down start pen start pen they did with him. Because he looks good, edges at 97-98 and slider at 89 , yea you can do some damage

[FVBrewerFan]

Honestly, I don't get into the "I would rather play" thing. Teams can be red hot and then lay an egg in the playoffs and vice versa. All of the teams in the mix are very good.

 

Edit: So cool to see Woodruff dealing. I really believe something wasn't quite right with him, injury, delivery, something.

[buckybrewer232]

Wow, Woodruff is lights out. I bring him back out for the 7th, who cares if he has to face Carpenter.

[TURBO]

Burnes and Woody in the rotation to start 2019 would please me...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Boy I hope Woodruff gets some serious consideration for the rotation next spring.

 

He sure looks good doesn't he. Too many options for 5 spots would be a nice problem to have.

 

It's a mystery why he toiled so long in the minors this year, while they cycled through guys like Lopez, Logan and Zaborowski.

[Matt Breen]

 

No, having Gio Gonzalez start meaningful games is the problem.

 

What in the heck are you talking about? The guy was 2-0 with an ERA under 2 for the Brewers coming into tonight. I'll go ahead and admit it, I'm hoping you say something to get banned if this keeps up.

Him get banned? This is two consecutive IGT's where you gotten unhinged because someone doesn't agree with you. Opinions are allowed even if they aren't yours.

Guys, please stop. Just stop it now so this doesn't get any worse.

 

Thank you.

[tmwiese55]

Yea I've been one on the why doesn't Woodruff get a crack train this year too. Glad to see I wasn't crazy and he's contributing when needed.

 

Next year's starting rotation could be so much different than this year with sigh high heat arms added to it in Woodruff and Burns, and even Nelson.

[LouisEly]

Boy I hope Woodruff gets some serious consideration for the rotation next spring.

He, like Burnes, was a top 100 prospect for a reason. Didn't get a lot of love because he was an 11th round pick, but he deserved top 100 status.
