D bag or not. Wish Machado was in our lineup

 

Not me, I don't want to root for guys like him under any circumstance.

 

I'm perfectly content with him being on other teams.

 

Same. I wanna win but you gotta draw the line somewhere. Winning is only fun when it's inspiring, not when you sell your soul for it.

Curious...do you root for Braun?

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

So, is that all for Woodruff? I would love to see a couple more innings out of him, but I have no idea how stretched out he is. He doesn't look tired to me.

I don’t. I’ll win with Arcia.

[YelichPosse]

Woodruff looks calm, balanced, and he is dealing today! Much needed ‘start’ from the youngster !

They said 4-5.

 

I’d give him another chance as the shadows will be in his favor.

Woody - 4IP, 41 pitches. Double plays are your friend.

Oh geez...Not even going to go here.

Boy that’s a loaded question lol.

[PinaMadness]

Let's get some runs!!!

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Yeah, I think we can write Woodruff's name in pen for the rotation next year.

 

Yep. I'm really curious how the starters/pen situation will turn out. Woodruff, Burnes, and Freddy all deserve a shot, in my opinion.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Woody - 4IP, 41 pitches. Double plays are your friend.

Efficiency on display. Two outs on one pitch sure helps that equation.

 

With the potential shadow advantage for an inning upcoming, I'd try to get at least one more from Woodruff. If it's another 8-12 pitch inning, it might even be worth trying to get another after that.

[dlk9s]

They just can't lay off that curve. It's a Hall of Fame curve, but man.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

That pitch at the knees about six inches off the plate on the inside has killed the Crew in this series. Lots of strikeouts that way.

[Greenleaf1]

My optimism for the Brewers rotation in the future was what would happen if one or two of Woodruff/Peralta/Burnes/Hader worked out.

 

Next year is going to be fuuuuuun.

[topper09er]

In the entire history of the Dodgers (at least back to 1908), only 4 players have GIDP 3 times in a game

 

Grandal

Milton Bradley

Gary Sheffield

Johnny Hudson

[jason21nl]

Crap. He’s rolling now

[homer]

Davies after Woody? Is that the deal?

[bigredrobbo]

If they can't see Kershaw, they can't see Woody. Keep him rollin' too...

[Eye Black]

The shadows do look pretty brutal on the hitters.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

It really looked like Kershaw might not get through five. Now I'd be surprised if he didn't get 7-8.

 

And there's that inside pitch I was talking about. Again, they can't lay off it. Usually, it's a strikeout. Flyball this time.

[dlk9s]

Davies after Woody? Is that the deal?

 

I would think so, but they did show Soria stretching. He could just be gradually warming for later. Who knows.

[FVBrewerFan]

Davies after Woody? Is that the deal?

 

Nope, Soria then the Pastry Boys

[Greenleaf1]

I'm assuming Woodruff goes as long as he can. No reason to take him out when he's rolling and he's got the shadows on his side.

[YelichPosse]

The shadows seem to be legit but it affects both teams so let’s mow them down
