Brandon Woodruff = STOPPER!

 

Hopefully Woody pitches another gem today, and the Brewers can escape with a .500 road trip.

[Bulldogboy]

Hoping Hirua can get it going soon. Has not looked great against velocity so far and he is going to get it today. Funny how all of a sudden this lineup without Braun looks pretty sad again.

[yfinn6]

Yelich with the first inning HR that hits the top of the wall.

[rcc]

Woodruff is doing so well this season. Get a win in Atlanta!

[stoutdude04]

Yelich with the first inning HR that hits the top of the wall.

 

Dont wanna say it should have been caught, but it probably should have been caught.

[yfinn6]

Gamel woulda needed a rocket up his ass to catch that one.

[brooks_quichenick]

That was uh, not where you want to throw a changeup

[Brew crew 92]

Wow, that change up gets my vote for the worst pitch of the year.

[MrTPlush]

Wow, so much talk about Hiura staying when Shaw is healthy (hypothetically) and it seems the real question is can he even make it that long without getting sent down for playing so poorly.

[Brew crew 92]

Hiura with another swing when the ball is already in the catcher’s mitt.

[Bulldogboy]

Yeah Brewers fans have seen prospects like Braun and Fielder over the years come up and rake. Even the Harts and Hardy's did ok. This is more the usual where the guy appears overmatched. Hope he hangs in there.

[Brew crew 92]

Woody needs to keep that change-up down.

[adambr2]

I didn't expect Hiura to rake immediately at this level, but I thought there was a possibility that he might. So that's been disappointing.

 

Still, it's a ridiculously small 20 AB sample size. Long-term, he's going to be fine. Short-term, he hasn't done enough to stay up with the MLB club when Shaw returns unless he really gets it going in the next week or so.

[wildcat83]

Schroeder pronouncing Flo Rida is priceless!

[yfinn6]

Brewer hitters have been getting some good pitches to hit today.

[brooks_quichenick]

Cain having the worst luck so far today

[PinaMadness]

Nice fast moving game today. We could probably get two in today before the Bucks game.

I haven’t seen him make contact with a good fastball yet, how can he not hit a FB?

[DuWayne Steurer]

LIttle drama there Acuna....

[adambr2]

Was Folty really barking at that 3rd strike?

 

#1, you're a pitcher. You think you'd want those calls too.

#2, it was easily a strike.

just what I said. You're a pitcher. DOn't try to show up the ump

I think he was just asking a question, didn't seem like he was really arguing as the ump was just nodding in agreement with him.

[PinaMadness]

Hiura figured out that fastball.

[yfinn6]

Hiura didn't really get to enjoy that 1st HR because it was out so fast.
