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]

[Ennder]

This stinks to be into the bullpen so early in a game where we scored so much early. This was a big fail for Woodruff tonight, hope it doesn't become a pattern.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

This is how the Brewers will deploy their pitchers. 3rd time through (unless dealing) is playing with fire and they're not going to push it just because the old book says your starter should go at least 5 or 6.

If this had been Peralta’s start, this thread would be five pages longer.

I don't think that has anything to do with it. Woody was at 90 pitches, and was getting slapped around.

I respect your opinion and we'll watch going forward.

[Oxy]

Is Schwarber any better than Eric Thames?

[yfinn6]

Yikes. They're not going to blow an 8 run lead are they?!

[Eye Black]

It seems like Chase versus a hit for power lineup is a bad matchup? Sigh.

[PinaMadness]

If we lose this game...

[xisxisxis]

Chase Anderson is a broken record...

[mtrebs]

Wow, you can’t count on Chase Anderson at all anymore

[TURBO]

Geez Chase...

[PinaMadness]

It wouldn't be a Chase Anderson appearance if he didn't immediately give up a dinger.

If this had been Peralta’s start, this thread would be five pages longer.

Thanks leader of the thought police....

[TURBO]

yup, we all knew it was going to happen, so we need to score more runs, not sit on those 8 runs...

[Eye Black]

It seems likely the Brewers are going to need to score more runs to win this game.

[PinaMadness]

There's gotta be a better answer for a long reliever than Chase.

You’re welcome.

If the home plate umpire was terrible like they usually are, it would be ten.

[xisxisxis]

Of the three "rookie" starters, I've always thought Woodruff has to work on limiting damage the most. It just seems to me every time he gives up runs it's crooked numbers...

[MoreTrife]

Seems early for badger mutual insurance runs...

[Brew crew 92]

Wow, you can’t count on Chase Anderson at all anymore

 

He hasn’t pitched in a while, hopin he settles in and can give us 2 or 3 good innings.

 

I still Think he can be a valuable weapon out of the pen.

Just saying that using one game to support your theory is not viable. This is game 8. Only two of those the starter hasn't gone 5 innings. Tonight and Peralta's poor start against the Cardinals. Pitch counts and inefficiency were a factor both times. I mean, if a pitcher is getting hit or is wild, it stands to reason they will be pulled before finishing 5, which also coincides with getting to the 3rd time through the order. They aren't doing anything a typical ballclub wouldn't do In my opinion.

[PinaMadness]

Hader might have to go two tonight. Assuming we don't squander the entire eight run lead.

Just maddening that we were up 8-0 and now will have to burn hader.
