Gearing up for being tired all week long with all these late starts. Hopefully, we get some good ball games and some W's!

My plan is to DVR them past 10:30, then avoid all media until I watch them when I get home from work.

There is no chance anyone at work will tell me what happened as not one Brewer fan exists where I am employed.

It's a blessing and a curse.

Both lineups are available above (in the opening post) now.

 

Grisham missed yesterday’s game and is out tonight, wonder if his previous hamstring injury flared up again.

 

EDIT: Grisham was apparently scratched yesterday with tightness in his left quad, so he’s presumably still dealing with that.

I want to complain about Jace Peterson but Robertson stinks too and Hiura can't play defense

[TURBO]

Vogelbomb hits 2 dingers yesterday, then is relegated to the bench.

 

Yup, I get the righty lefty thing, but what are his splits?

I would have thought Vogelbach's hold on a roster spot was most tenuous, until yesterday. Now if there is a player that is in danger of losing their spot I would say it's Robertson. It's not as if he's a wizard in the field, and so for he's offered next to nothing and they have several players with an identical skill set... ie Jace Peterson.

I wish Counsell would go with a "hot" guy more often than the "cold" guy. Kinda' annoying.

Goes back to something discussed here before...

 

Guys have big days, only to find benchtime the following day.

 

Makes no sense to take a guy who is obviously seeing the ball well, and bench them...

 

Probably should start a thread to see just how often it happens...

According to the MJS: Counsell went with what he considered a better defensive lineup in support of pitcher Brandon Woodruff. "You can play this game endlessly as a baseball fan, and I understand that," Counsell said. "We make decisions every day. This is a decision that the not letting in runs and scoring runs are both ways to win games. We have to make decisions on that every day."

It's weird that he does this with strikeout pitchers though. Anderson I understand. Less so with Woodruff/Burnes/Peralta.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I have no issues with doubling down on defense because the offense sucks so bad that it's a total crap shoot who will hit the ball on a given night. There is no great bat that must play.

[Eye Black]

Tonight’s centerfield camera angle is a good reminder to be grateful that the Brewers/FSN finally fixed their angle to be more straight-on a few years ago.

[wibadgers23]

Just a hunch but Woodruff will need to be nearly perfect tonight for us to have a chance.

[Eye Black]

Woodruff throwing 10 pitches to the first batter of the game and walking him isn’t an ideal start.

[adambr2]

That's a rough way to start the game for Woodruff. Hopefully he can get some quick innings yet.

[Underachiever]

C'mon Brandon, can't go ten pitches on a batter and then walk them.

 

Edit: Looks like we agree.

[trwi7]

Urias threw the ball in the vicinity of the 1st baseman, so we'll call that a win.

[Eye Black]

Not a great 1st inning for Woodruff, but this is sort of a fun fact (via Alex Fast)...

 

There is one remaining SP yet to give up a barrel this season:

 

Brandon Woodruff.

[adambr2]

Is it too late to trade Hiura for some starting pitching?

[trwi7]

This is going to be one of those 96 pitch complete games, isn't it?

[wibadgers23]

Is it too early to be on perfect game watch?

[CheezWizHed]

Ugh... Musgrove with fewer pitches through 2 IP than Woodruff has in 1 IP...

[BruisedCrew]

Probably not going to get more than 5 innings from Woodruff tonight, if he makes it that far.
