2019-07-21: Brewers (Woodruff) at Diamondbacks (Young) [Brewers win, 7-4 -- Saladino grand slam ties it in 4th; Bullpen stellar after Woodruff exits with abdominal injury]

Brandon Woodruff: Batter (Diamondbacks) vs Pitching Stats

[OldHeidelberg]

Seems like a huge game, our ace out there and Hader should be available. A 5-2 week looks a lot better than 4-3 when you are thinking about what to do at the deadline. Of course they have some lefty we haven't seen before but hopefully Hiura now makes our lineup a lot more balanced against southpaws.

[willie key]

Brewers favored again.

[Eye Black]

Still no lineup released two hours before game time which is a little out of the ordinary. Wonder if there is a yet to be announced move delaying things? Would expect the lineup to be posted any moment now.

 

 

Edit: Here it is, a Sunday special indeed...

 

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Yikes. That lineup leaves a lot to be desired. Probably will put a 10 spot up today.

 

Kinda makes me nauseous seeing Saladino get a start in left field. How much longer til Dubon is eligible to come up?

[PeaveyFury]

Holy hell. DS needs to get Saladino off the team ASAP to prevent garbage like him in LF ever happening again. I'd soooo prefer to have Perez back if this is how they're going to use that UT role...

[Eye Black]

I guess on the bright side they should have a lot of excellent pinch hitters available today.

 

It is the 11th time in his career that Manny Piña has started a game in the 5th spot. He has a .903 OPS in those games, so maybe they’re on to something.

[sveumrules]

Hiura finally moved up in the order, at least.

 

& what a collection of pinch hitters!!

[folly412]

Counsell last night: "We're getting there" with Saladino not producing.

 

Counsell today: lol but not there yet. Let me stick him in the outfield.

[Outlander]

Braun is hurt so that is why Saladino is playing. Would actually prefer Thames in the OF though.

[BruisedCrew]

Absolute garbage lineup. Doesn’t mean they can’t win, especially if Woodruff can have a great game, but not much fun to watch a lineup with 4 pitchers.

 

Is Yelich hurt too?

[BruisedCrew]

Brewers favored again.

 

Has that changed now that the lineup is posted?

[stoutdude04]

Brewers favored again.

Still favored, but slightly.

Wow. Now that is a Sunday lineup...

[Brewcrewin07]

Braun unavailable today...it was Yelich's scheduled day off apparently. Why in the hell if you know Braun is hurt and unavailable would you not reschedule Yelich's day off then?? And to sit Yasmani at the same time?? Pathetic managing to say the least. Guess these games aren't that important to CC. You play to win the game.

LOL ... it sure is a good thing that they are actually going to play a game today then. Maybe this team can pull one out despite their pathetic manager.

I love it!I mean, the regulars have looked like crap against no-name lefties this year. Switch things up ... why not?

I hope they do...but C'mon, you can't sit both Yelich and Grandal if Braun is unavailable...Not when these games are uber important.

[pacopete4]

Yes, must win.

[sveumrules]

The nine guys on the Orioles with the most PAs have the following wRC+ marks...

 

126, 109, 91, 89, 80, 78, 73, 56 & 36.

 

The nine guys in our lineup today & their wRC+ marks...

 

151, 125, 88, 85, 76, 74, 72, 71 & -49.

I want to know the honest thoughts of Woodruff when he seen that lineup.

 

[BrewCrewForever]

I want to know the honest thoughts of Woodruff when he seen that lineup.

 

 

 

Woodruff: "I should probably be batting 6th or 7th."

[wildcat83]

Jeesh... Drew Smyly today for Phillies: 6 IP 1ER 8K

Yeah, that sounds about right

Well, his BA is higher than Saladino’s OPS
