2019-04-05: Cubs (Quintana) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 13-10 -- Brewers tee off on Quintana early en route to tallying 15 hits and 5 HRs in slugfest]

[topper09er]

We know Perez will go 1-4 tonight, now would be a good time for his hit

[pacopete4]

Moose should’ve bunted. I’m not a huge bunter but a chance to make it 3-0 early would have been very nice.

[trwi7]

A puppy with a treat in front of it is more disciplined than Perez.

[RollieTime]

Is it just me or has Moose lost quite a bit of weight from last season? I haven’t been able to watch much baseball yet this season and that jumped out at me.

It might still happen.

[Zad Fnark]

I think you can cut him some slack, since he's averaging. 350 Vs Quintana.

Happy getting two runs and a high Quintana pitch count right out of the gate in the 1st inning, but it seems like there was some missed opportunity there as well.

[MrTPlush]

High pitch count for Quintana, but they have had a good bullpen this year to save the day if he leaves early.

[MoreTrife]

Not like the Brewers has a stud in San Antonio to take Thames spot... He is in the last year of his contract and he knows he has to perform. And pressure to hit has a way of bringing out the best in a player.

 

I think pressure is the reason he has failed to hit since last April... When he went on his big streak last year, there was no pressure. as the season went along, the pressure started to mount because he figured out that we are actually playing for a play-off spot. He hasn't hit since.

 

This year, we are expected to make some noise, he has done nothing...Pressure is what might be doing him in.

 

imo.

 

Totally agree. He's a total head case who gets more and more into his own head as things get worse.

[Lathund]

32 pitches through the first. Likely means seeing that bullpen early(ish) in the game. Now that bullpen isn't as bad as they've been so far, but certainly not very good either.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Would love to get to that weak pen early. Put some innings on them in game one too.

[Eye Black]

I don’t want to jinx it, but Jordan Baker has been very consistent (and seemingly accurate) with his strike zone so far tonight.

 

One of my personal favorites, Jerry Layne, the umpire at 2B tonight.

[Brew crew 92]

Cubs bringing back basically the same position players for the 4th yr in a row a mistake. They as a unit, regressing. Theo should of traded SOME of his position players for pitching and different everyday players. Either you go up, or down, never stay the same. They on there way down.

Yeah, but he did miss that low strike.

[trwi7]

Woodruff has had several pitches right on or barely off the corner and all have been called balls.

[Eye Black]

I think the Descalso signing is going to prove a success for the Cubs. He was my hopeful under the radar short-term signing for the Brewers second base situation earlier in the offseason.

[Underachiever]

Where is everyone? I’m in the 300-level club seats. 70 seats in my section, 13 are occupied. Lots of emptiness all around.

We all assumed the Cub fans would be there. This is their home opener you know. Just ask them.

Whoa, look at Mr. Fancy Pants.

[PinaMadness]

Quintana didn't want any part of Woody.

[MrTPlush]

I see Quintana was watching the NLCS on his couch.

[Montezuma]

Walked Woodruff...WOW

[FVBrewerFan]

Idea to speed up the game. New rule, Quintana should be limited to 100 pitches per inning.
