2019-04-16: Cardinals (Flaherty) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 8-4 -- Woodruff stellar on the mound and at the plate; Just another Yelich HR]

Never mind, it’s fixed

[liveforoctober]

When does Braun get moved down in the order to relieve some pressure he may or may not be giving himself? Hovering right at the Mendoza Line now...

 

I know he will snap out of it... but while he is figuring it out, no reason to keep stranding Yelich on base.

That was sick! Worth three bad Arcia at-bats!

All of his advance stats say he is doing just fine other than not taking his walks. He is barrelling the ball as much as normal, has improved his launch angle, has about the same exit velocity as usual. It is really just the K/BB which is usually more mental than anything with Braun. So I guess moving him down could help with that some.

MOOOOOOOOOSE!!!! (& arcia too)

[TURBO]

Does Wilkerson give up a ton of HRs too? I seem to remember him giving up homers the times he was up with the big club. I could be wrong of course.

 

5 in 19.1 innings (14 runs)

 

Ok, then he will fit right in.

 

[Ennder]

As bad as our pitching has been at least we didn't give up 8 runs before recording an out and 10 runs in the 1st inning like the Mets did tonight!

[sveumrules]

First Arcia (.192 avg) gets a hit, then Woodruff (1.000 avg) doesn't.

 

Have a feeling this might be a wild one.

[82brewcrew82]

Did that say 99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sveumrules]

99 on the corner to sit Goldy down looking was pretty cool.

[adambr2]

Woodruff can seriously hit 99?

[markedman5]

99......on the corner will work.....

[sveumrules]

Lorenzo taketh away & apparently also givenths from time to time.

[TURBO]

I expect Braun to have a HUGE night since I benched him for the first time in 2 of my fantasy teams.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

The bullpen has fared well?

[markedman5]

Down on the farm......Hiura just hit number 4

[SRB]

Grandal the best player on the team.

[sveumrules]

Yaz bomb!! Shaw single.

 

Keep Stearns in the booth.

[markedman5]

Man has Yas been smoking hot.......that was crushed!

[Montezuma]

The umpire slayer goes yard. Nice acquisition

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'll always remember the preseason SSH conference call where the guy was furious we signed Grandal because Pina and Kratz were amazing

[Ennder]

I expect Braun to have a HUGE night since I benched him for the first time in 2 of my fantasy teams.

 

I dropped him for Franmil Reyes so it will be my "fault" too. (shallow league so Braun is marginal)

[sveumrules]

The bullpen has fared well?

 

They are 4th in all of MLB in Win Probability Added, so yes.

[82brewcrew82]

Down on the farm......Hiura just hit number 4

Too bad that buy won't be ready until 2020.

[TURBO]

Is it too soon to talk extension for Grandal?

 

The guy is electric, and we don't have a replacement in the near future.
