2020-10-01 (NL Wild Card Series): Brewers (Woodruff) at Dodgers (Kershaw) [Brewers lose, 3-0 -- Offensive struggles continue to the very end]

[rluzinski]

It sucks that Woodruff's 5th inning scuffle that plagued him through a big portion of the season came back. Was hoping he was past that with that gem against the Cardinals last weekend, but alas.

 

Still, he was a stud tonight. Ton of pressure on him playing behind a pop-gun offense.

 

He didn't really have a huge scuffle. Bad throw and bad pick attempt kept the inning alive. Two weak swings turned into hits. Then he did give up a hard hit to maybe the best hitter in baseball. It should have been a zero run inning

 

Agreed.

[SomewhereInTime]

Well I've watched him play, he doesn't have a strong arm and that play was another example of it. There are many other problems with his game as well but this one in particular likely cost us a game.

 

 

We'd have to score a run for anything to cost us a game.

 

This offense was painful to watch this year. I won't miss it. Not sure how it's going to get any better but half this offense can go.

 

That is a good point. I guess I'm still just in disbelief that an offense can be this bad.

[trwi7]

Gotta love it when the guy you just signed for $200 million swings at a 57 foot pitch and casually looks over his shoulder to see if the catcher blocked it but doesn't bother running to 1st anyways because at this point, why bother? We're all just in The Truman Show except it's just some alien race that is watching us.

[wOOgiE22]

Time to revamp this swing Yeli. That was gross

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Apparently Woodruff was ejected.

[mtrebs]

rluzinski, GenoSeligPrieb, TooLiveBrew... who's next?

 

Quite the reunion, too bad the game is a dud...

 

It’s like a funeral where you see all your friends and relatives that you haven’t seen in years... a funeral for the the Brewers’ 2020 season.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'm out. Hope I wake up to a comeback. I'm more than ready to say farewell to this version of the Brewers. They just weren't enjoyable to watch. There have been way worse teams that piqued my interest a lot more. This was just such a dud. Blech.

[trwi7]

Aaaand now the hitters are going to try to do too much to get back in it. Have to keep your plate discipline.

 

Can't keep what you never had.

Maybe check again...

Yelich is really pissing me off tonight. No urgency getting the ball back in on the Betts double, doesn't run out a dropped 3rd strike, and then minutes later he's just grinning over in the dugout.

 

You're the leader of the damn team. If you've checked out, so will everyone else.

[mtrebs]

Apparently Woodruff was ejected.

 

Probably yelled something to the ump about not calling that strike that could have ended the inning.

wOOgiE22! After a six-year hiatus!

[Eye Black]

We've had rluzinski and splitterpfj posts this week. The old crew coming out of the woodwork.

 

Need a post from Fatter than Joey and two live brew.

Wow!

 

Alright, this is my 'Rally from down 3 to win' post!

TooLiveBrew! You’ve been missed.

[wibadgers23]

That pitch that Woodruff wanted was a ball but I can’t blame him for being angry. Kershaw has been getting borderline pitches all night.

[brewcrewdue80]

Pretty sure Woody is complaining that for Kershaw that was called a strike 4 times when it was a ball. Another on 1st pitch to Garcia just in last inning.

[yourout]

That might have done some damage to his thumb.

[trwi7]

If I was a starting pitcher I would get thrown out every time after I'm taken out even if I have no particular reason to be angry. Just say whatever you want, give the ump the finger, take your 3 game suspension from MLB and be back and ready to pitch on the 5th day.

[adambr2]

That pitch that Woodruff wanted was a ball but I can’t blame him for being angry. Kershaw has been getting borderline pitches all night.

 

Yeah, agreed. That would piss me off too. It was indeed a ball, but it's a call Kershaw has been getting.

[mtrebs]

Another injury... can’t wait for this season to be over.

I have some good news.

Can’t believe it’s been that long! Been lurking for years and decided to make an appearance since everyone else was. Surprised I figured out my password.

Lol, and neither of them got there on the fly, and only one resulted in an out. Boy if those are the highlights, I'd hate to see the blooper real

[PinaMadness]

I ain't even mad. Watching this team play was like nails on a chalkboard. I hated this team before the season even started and it's DS's fault. He better let these ham and eggers he signed go and step his game up this winter.
