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]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

The fact that JP is basically our new set up man says what exactly?

 

That they may have taken things a little TOO slowly with Devin Williams in Arizona. Williams is pitching like it's the beginning of March.

[Bulldogboy]

Burnes is developing that shadow where the other team is like we need this one cause we might get no hit tomorrow. It's very big.

[trwi7]

They win this game it's an outright theft.

 

Why? Woodruff gave up 3 hard hit balls all game and the Padres as of now have an expected batting average of .109. We've hit 3 balls hard and unlike the Padres didn't hit them into the ground, so we're more than deserving of our lead right now.

From Mike Vassallo...

 

For the fifth time already this season, a Brewers starter has gone at least 5.0 innings while allowing just 1 hit.

 

Burnes: 4/3 vs. Min (6.1ip, 1h)

Peralta: 4/6 at ChC (5ip, 1h)

Woodruff: 4/7 at ChC (7ip, 1h)

Burnes: 4/8 at StL (6ip, 1h)

Woodruff: 4/19 at SD (6ip, 1h)

 

That is pretty incredible considering this is just the 16th game of the year.

I am very ready for Jace Peterson to no longer be a relevant name in my lexicon. I fear he's going to be around for awhile, though.

 

Daniel Robertson says hi. Forget mendosa line. Hes teetering at Sheets line. Jace is safe while Robertson exists.

[yourout]

Flirting with disaster.

Both can go ... although at least Robertson has some theoretical upside.

[Eye Black]

That was a good throw (albeit off the mark) and great tag, wow.

 

EDIT: Throw looked much worse in slow motion, not a good throw but I’ll take the result.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wow ... not a great throw, but it worked. Heck of a tag.

 

Actually, I take that back. That was one heck of a throw off a change-up. Narvaez has been a revelation this year.

Robertson to Baez.

 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Tag was Herculean, throw was quite behind but almost so bad it was good. Not the easiest pitch to throw from though.

FREE TYRONE TAYLOR

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Taylor needs to play more for this offense. He has earned it.

[Eye Black]

Can my man Tyrone Taylor get some more playing time, please.

[yourout]

Boom shaka laka

[tggibby55]

MORE TYRONE

[adambr2]

Taylor!

[Eye Black]

Well the Brewers should have a pretty good scouting report for Drew Pomeranz at least.

[trwi7]

110.8 off the bat, 440 feet and the second home run tonight with a 1.000 expected batting average. Edited April 20, 2021 by trwi7

[SeaBass]

Brewers power bats go BOOM!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wow, HUGE insurance run there. Good for Tyrone!

[Eye Black]

Now that he just batted I think you have to consider leaving Taylor in the game bringing the pitcher into Garcia’s spot, right?

[Bulldogboy]

Taylor seems to do nothing but hit when given a shot. i'm still scratching my head on why Bradley is here. Injuries aside Brewers had cheaper options already in camp.

[Eye Black]

Not a great start for Suter.

 

As much as I appreciate him, I am worried about Suter versus the top half of this lineup.

 

EDIT: Well I guess we won’t need to find out (for tonight at least).

I almost sort of think that after he struck out trying to coax Justin Turner to come to Milwaukee, Attanasio was determined to spend some money and make a splash, and Bradley was the biggest name left on the market.
