2021-04-07: Brewers (Woodruff) at Cubs (Hendricks) [Brewers win, 4-2 in 10 innings -- Woodruff allows just one hit over 7 IP; Cain hits two late inning go-ahead home runs]

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I don't mind that to Contreras. But thin margin now. Go get him.

[mtrebs]

What a joke. Throw strikes!!!

[Underachiever]

Who throws more pitches today? Woodruff or Feyereisen?

[SeaBass]

That was predictable.

[adambr2]

This bullpen is sinfully overrated. You have Hader and then Williams who is due for some regression this year and then Suter is ok. Other than that it's nothing but journeymen and question marks.

[HarveysWBs]

Ooof, “bullpen is our strength” narrative taking a body blow in this one.

[Eye Black]

I think I am the low man on Boxberger on this board. I am officially nervous.

They just don't have a lot of good options.

[OldHeidelberg]

Whew

[mtrebs]

Whew! I was really worried there. Great series win!!!

[markedman5]

Never a doubt

[Eye Black]

I think I am the low man on Boxberger on this board. I am officially nervous.

I never doubted him.

[adambr2]

Whew. That would have been awful.

[HarveysWBs]

*exhale*

 

And there is my reminder to work on my cardiovascular health. 162 games of a contender built to play close games is hazardous to one’s heart. Gotta do more cardio...

[willie key]

Good win

 

We really missed Cain last year

[nate82]

JP just needs to throw some of those pitches just a little bit closer to the zone and he gets an out from one of them. They were just way too far off the plate to be effective pitches. A little closer and he might get a strikeout or a weak grounder.

[SeaBass]

In 2 days Boxberger has hit Contreras with a pitch and saved a win. I officially like him.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

That second pitch to Hap was....wow. Dead, hanging slider. Yikes. Good win.

[OldHeidelberg]

4th start where Woody has only given up 1 hit, off the top of my head two 8 inning starts, one 7, and an early 6 2/3 innings last season.

[adambr2]

Woodruff or Cain for MVP of this game for sure.

[LouisEly]

That’s just the Cubs second hit in their past 49 at bats against Brewers pitching going back to late in Monday’s game.

So technically the Brewers have no-hit the Cubs over 27 outs, correct?

[markedman5]

Woody said he was tired and losing his delivery.....agreed with the decision to remove him

 

Said he emptied the tank to get out of the 7th.

Hader is on pace for 54 wins this year.

[adambr2]

Woody said he was tired and losing his delivery.....agreed with the decision to remove him

 

The last thing I would expect him to do is throw his manager under the bus regardless of how he felt.

[markedman5]

If you saw the interview you might feel differently......he said if he felt fine he would have fought like crazy to stay in......he didn’t.

 

Said the ups and downs got to him.
