2018-10-04 (NLDS Game #1): Rockies (Senzatela) at Brewers (Woodruff/Bullpen) 4:07 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2 in 10 Innings -- Blown Save in 9th; Moustakas Walk-Off Hit in 10th]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

3 innings; 9 batters faced. Can’t ask more from your opener than that in a bullpen game. Well done, Woodruff.

[folly412]

Through the lineup. Nice initial outs, Woodruff.

[pacopete4]

Couldn’t ask for a better start for Woodruff. Now let’s score some runs.

[brewerfan82]

Just glad Saladino isn't an option to PH here

[OnaBadger58]

Helluva job by Woodruff.

[topper09er]

Woody faced the minimum. Great start to his postseason career

[HarveysWBs]

So, the roadmap here is:

 

A) score runs

 

B) Burnes pitches 4th-6th inning

 

C) Hader/Knebel for 7th and 8th (Hader coming on for whichever inning has Blackmon, although Blackmon's splits are pretty even...)

 

D) JJ to put a bow on it.

 

E) Pints all around!

 

Sounds simple...

[topper09er]

Nice to see Anderson congratulate him

[PinaMadness]

Some folks may not like the bullpen start, but you can’t deny that Woodeuff was effective today.

Yeah, but I don't think it's sustainable. It's not going to last the farther we go this postseason. They need to add a TOR guy this offseason.

[adambr2]

Santana probably wouldn't have been my choice there. Thought for sure they'd use Granderson and save Santana for later.

[TURBO]

I have to question that move. Take out Woodruff who was cruising, to use your best pinch hitter with no one on base?

 

Don't like that at all...

[Warning Track Power]

Santana probably wouldn't have been my choice there. Thought for sure they'd use Granderson and save Santana for later.

Granderson may be saved for defense later.

It will be fine for the postseason with all the days off.

[Bulldogboy]

Why use your best pinch hitter in the 3rd inning? Schoop or Perez getting coffee?? Come on Craig.

Do you have anything to prove it's not sustainable? These bullpen-type games are relatively uncharted territory, so it seems premature to call it unsustainable.

Woodruff only had his fastball today and even the pitcher was starting to time it up. A second time through would likely have been ugly.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Santana probably wouldn't have been my choice there. Thought for sure they'd use Granderson and save Santana for later.

Granderson may be saved for defense later.

 

I would think Broxton would be the defensive sub.

[Boomer5]

If he gets on Cain and Yelich are up next.

[MadScientist]

MVP!

[PinaMadness]

MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!!

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

HE DOES IT AGAIN! MVP!

[adambr2]

MVP!!! MVP!!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

And that’s another MVP homer from Yelich.

[topper09er]

Is this for real?

[folly412]

Like the pull, would have preferred Granderson to PH. High OBP guy, play the matchup, seemed to make more sense.
