2021-04-19: Brewers (Woodruff) at Padres (Musgrove) [Brewers win, 3-1 -- Woodruff gives up just 1 hit over 6 IP; Crew hits 3 solo home runs]

[AdvantageSchneider]

Really should rename this thread the Johnny Vander Meer watch.

[Eye Black]

In case you were wondering (because I was) the closest a pitcher has ever thrown two no-hitters is four days apart by the Reds Johnny Vander Meer in 1938.

[Underachiever]

Musgrove had a four inning start against the Pirates last week. There will be no consecutive no-nos.

[Eye Black]

Alright Urias! That has to feel great for him.

[FVBrewerFan]

One hitter

[CheezWizHed]

No no-no today either. Nice poke Urias! Get it going young man!

[Underachiever]

Hernan Perez on the mound for the Nats tonight.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Not that anyone needs to hear this, but baseball is weird.

 

If this were a basketball game, the Padres would be up 12, haha. Feels like we're gonna have steal one, honestly (but team's steal games all the time).

Just ask the Astros.

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

 

He is so bad that I'm not sure he is going to be in the league in 2 years. I'm very patient usually, but he looks like he can't play the game.

[JET15]

Happy for Urias. That's the way to do it

Well-played, sir. Well-played.

Luis Urias now has his wRC+ up to 107 this season (7% above league average). That’s with a BABIP that’s currently just .200, which is likely to improve quite a bit moving forward.

He's looks lost up there. No confidence. Maybe a change would help him. Just not a change in in the fielding position

Yeah it's really depressing. This was our best homegrown hitting prospect since....Braun, really, and it looks like he might totally flame out.

 

Obviously it's not over yet and maybe he makes an adjustment and gets it all figured out but he is beyond overmatched at the moment. After he came up in '19 his bat looked so good. I thought the sky was the limit and now this.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Needed that efficient inning from Woody. One more like that, and 6 is realistic.

Because he looks like a completely different player than he did in 2019. Now he goes to the plate trying to hit an 8-run homer every time up. He's got a severe uppercut swing, and chases everything. I'm not sure what is going on in his head, or who he's been listening to, but it's wrong.

[adambr2]

I wish it was just a matter of him chasing. That would be more correctable. He swings through more fat strikes than anyone in recent memory, too.

He has good ABs. Even when he makes outs, it's clear to me (beyond just fatigue) why he was the choice over Arcia.

Also true. He's behind 92 mph meatballs. I don't know if I've ever seen a case of a guy who came up looking so natural, only to completely and inexplicably lose it.

I mean he's better than Arcia but I don't think there was any real choice to be made. We gave up a lot to get Urias, we knew what we had in Arcia (not much) and had to commit to Urias and at least see what we got.

It’s the double toe tap. With all the video on hitters they other teams know they how to pitch him and get his timing off.

[Bulldogboy]

Keston has five hits this season.... I thought that was wrong but I checked and it's correct. Mckenny has 5 as a pinch hitter.

[JCREW]

Urias out?!?

 

Why can’t we have nice things?!?

[markedman5]

Urias hurt now......at this rate we are going to be rolling out the alternate site all stars soon.
