2021-04-25: Brewers (Woodruff) at Cubs (Arrieta) [Brewers win, 6-0 -- Woodruff throws 6 scoreless innings; offense plates 5 runs in the 9th]

McKinney has quietly crashed back down to earth. I know we've had injuries, but he isn't someone that belongs in the everyday lineup this much.

 

This statement could apply to probably half the roster right now

[Eye Black]

I have no idea why Robertson didn’t go to Wong on that play? Wong was easily going to be to the base in time, that could cost them dearly here.

[adambr2]

Robertson had the lead runner at 2nd. Make the flip over. They had him easily.

 

When you're hitting half your weight you better make the plays on defense.

FREE Tyrone Taylor!

He has the weirdest line over his last 27 at bats. He’s 3-for-27, but all three hits have been home runs.

You just know Rizzo is going to get a hit here

[Eye Black]

Great job to get out of it Woody... errr... “Big Woo”!

[jason21nl]

Or not!

[markedman5]

Way to buck up Woody!

Just coming to say this. That was really annoying.

Another great game for woodruff. Unfortunately for him Burnes is stealing all the headlines for brewers pitchers.

[magnoliacrew]

What combination of pitchers gets us home? Is Boxberger in the mix?

[OldHeidelberg]

Another great outing for Woodruff, he must feel like the red headed stepchild with all the hype Burnes gets in the media lately but he came close to only giving up 1 hit in 3 of his 5 starts today.

[brewers888]

Its pretty sad knowing we can't afford to give up a run. Stearns has to do something about this offense and that should start by moving on from Haines. Hiura alone should get the hitting coach fired.

[LouisEly]

Jackie hacks on 2-0

[adambr2]

Great job Woodruff!

[BuckyBrewer61]

So when do our pitchers get to throw more than 90 pitches? Or is that our new limit?

[Eye Black]

On the one hand, I don’t think having a professional hitter sac bunt is a great idea. On the other hand, it was Daniel Robertson.

[jjfanec]

Well it is a 1 run game and his spot is up with a runner in scoring position so it makes sense.

Maybe I’m just jaded, but at this point there’s no one on the bench I trust to drive in that run. I’d rather have another inning of Woodruff on the mound.

Hard to argue with that at this point

Then again, Woodruff has a higher career average than the guy that hit for him.

Except that Woodruff probably is as good a hitter as half our lineup right now, not sure if this should be blue. But yeah 90 pitches is our 100 so far this year.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Put it this way - if I’m a Cubs fan, I’m thrilled to see Woodruff pinch hit for there

[pacopete4]

It’s like high 30’s in Chicago. It’s also still early in the season. It simply makes no sense to ramp up right now. Good game Woody!
