Brandon Woodruff: Batter (Padres) vs Pitching Stats

 

Padres pitching prospect Logan Allen to make major league debut Tuesday vs. Brewers (The San Diego Union-Tribune)

[KeithStone53151]

I'll try a lineup, like I always do.

 

Cain

Yelich

Braun

Moose

Grandal

WoodruffAguilar

Perez

Arcia

AguilarWoodruff

 

I could also see them catching Pina today with Grandal at 1b, but I figure they'll probably do that tomorrow against Strahm.

A LHP prospect making his Major League debut against the Brewers.. I'll be shocked if the Crew scratch more than 1 or 2 runs against this guy.

Just found out that Shaw colluded with the Russians to be elected Mayor of Ding Dong City

 

Report will be given to Stearns and Counsell today. Impeachment is not out of question here Im told.

Shaw will have to prove he deserves it

Impeachment is necessary!

Since I’ll actually get to watch this, it’s a lefty, and he’s making his debut; I’m gonna be shocked if this west coast slide doesn’t continue. Please beat a team you’re supposed to

[Eye Black]

FanGraphs article on the Padres starter tonight, Logan Allen and His Inner Bulldog are Poised for a Padres Debut

 

From that article: Hitters stepping into the box against Allen are going to see a low-90s four-seam fastball, a plus curveball, a slider he began throwing in 2017, and a Vulcan changeup...

This one is off to a less than spectacular start.

[folly412]

We need to face more aces to get the offense going.

2 for 2 with the double plays.

 

Wonder if there has ever been 9 in a 9 inning game by one team?

 

on edit. 7 is the record in a 9 inning game but there is an interesting caveat.

 

San Francisco Giants vs Houston Astros

May 4, 1969

 

Houston had 7 DPs in 8 innings and won the game.

Stearns is watching San Antonio.......https://twitter.com/briggsmissions/status/1141171276968615936?s=21

 

Yamamoto dominated the Cards again...........great start to his career

[treego14]

White Sox 3

Cubs 1

 

(top of the 9th -- White Sox still batting after tallying two runs against Pedro Strop in the 9th)

[LouisEly]

Strop entered in the top of the 9th and immediately gave up a single and a 2-run bomb to Jimenez. Cubs have one run on six hits through eight.

 

Cubs aren't immune to looking like garbage.

 

Edit: Cubs just yanked Strop instead of facing the imposing threat of... Ryan Cordell. Yes, that Ryan Cordell.

[markedman5]

Woody just looks great......100 on the fastball......88 mph change......90 slider......impressive

[LouisEly]

Stearns is watching San Antonio.......https://twitter.com/briggsmissions/status/1141171276968615936?s=21

He picked the right game... 17-1 in the 5th.

 

Saladino, Spangenberg, and Nottingham must have been aware that he was there.

well, two straight blacked out. Have both of these games really been on national tv? If so, why? I'm finally breaking free from mlb.tv. Is there an alternative yet?

[treego14]

Why is Woodruff a better hitter than over half of our lineup, seemingly?

[Eye Black]

Strop entered in the top of the 9th and immediately gave up a single and a 2-run bomb to Jimenez.

It was a broken bat home run. A giant chunk of the bat shattered right off the barrel and he still hit it out with room to spare. It was sort of incredible.

[markedman5]

Be nice if the offense woke up soon.......

MLB.TV will do national games. In this case, San Diego is considered your "local" market. Much like DC/Baltimore for me, despite being a good five hour drive away from DC. If you have the Opera browser (easiest) or another VPN method it'll show a different location to let you view.

Wow!

 

That homerun was the difference, too, as the Cubs went scoreless in the bottom of the 9th.

 

The Brewers are up 1 game in the NLC for the next couple hours now.

Thank you for that explanation. How some one would consider Tucson in the San Diego market is so far beyond reason... glad I cancelled it. I'll have to do radio until the stretch run.

Cubs fans were saying that tonight too. One run on six hits to the White Sox and Ivan Nova, whose ERA dropped to 6.01 this game.

[phnxcrew]

We may just be a team of Yelich, Woodruff, Hader and everyone else-but man it feels good to know there's a plus starter taking the mound every five days.
