2019-09-17: Padres (Paddack) at Brewers (Woodruff) 6:40 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-1 -- Woodruff returns to mound for 1st time since July 21]

[Ennder]

Gio has allowed an .894 OPS against from righties this season. Nothing wrong at all with using him the way he was used this game.

[Pugger]

[sarcasm]Imagine if Yaz wasn’t so tired all the time.[/sarcasm]

 

I see that is in blue, but there is merit to the fact that at some point, he is going to wear down. Catchers don't catch 12-13-14 games in a row for a reason.

 

hopefully it doesn't happen when we need him most, in the play-offs!

 

Maybe Yaz can get tomorrow off.

[Slippery_Pete]

I blame Chris Hook for this 1-1 score going to the 8th

[TURBO]

Suter also pitched 3 days ago. I’m sure that had something to do with it. But yes, our armchair managers would have this Padres team shutout tonight instead one giving up one run over 7 innings.

 

From one arm chair manager to another... We all do it, even you. I am BOOOOOing you again tonight!

[Pugger]

Man, we gotta get some runs here....

[Fear The Chorizo]

How about instead of hand wringing over reliever moves that have led to all of 1 run given up in what is essentially a bullpen game we start getting salty about a lineup that has managed 1 hit thus far?

 

Let's go, offense! Do something!!

[shanedog19]

Is Albers on the playoff roster at this point. I say no.

 

He is. Simply because they don't have 7 better relievers. The way they continue to use him gives absolutely no indication that they don't view him as a key part of the pen, for better or worse.

 

I'll give this a go; Hader, Guerra, Pomeranz, Claudio, Peralta, Jay Jackson, and Ray Black are all better.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

It's hard to watch Albers now and if they left him off the playoff roster I'd get it, but there was quite a long stretch when this entire pen sucked and he was one of about two decent arms we had going. So I hate seeing people light him up, but I get it.

[HarveysWBs]

Moose!

That group may have more talent but each and everyone of them, including Albers, have hand good and bad stretches. None are overly consistent with the exception of Hader.

I guess that's my point. He pretty single-handedly kept this pen afloat during a couple long stretches this year. If you bring a 13 man pitching staff into the playoffs, you have 4 starters and likely nine relievers. He's more than likely one of those nine.

[MrTPlush]

Yu Darvish has struck out 11 of the 12 outs through 4 innings

 

Except he is losing where it matters most, the scoreboard.

I think this is very close but Suter is in for sure.

[pacopete4]

Moose has 35 bombs but his OPS is mid .800’s. Always seems weird to me to see.
