2021-05-12: Cardinals (Gant) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 4-1 -- Woodruff outstanding once again; Vogelbach reaching on a 2-out strikeout sparks rally; Garcia hits massive 442ft bomb]

[wallus]

there's a fan sitting behind the right handed hitters whose head looks way too big for his body

Gant barely threw a ball inside the strike zone that inning. Three K's. I'm ok with Haines getting the axe even if it's not his fault, team needs a change of some sort.

[adambr2]

I'm kind of in the same boat about Haines. I think this offense is probably a lot more where it is because of injuries and a lack of offensive talent than anything Haines is doing, but in the end if your offense is this bad for this long and you're the guy in charge of the offense, you're probably going to end up taking the fall.

O'Neill's gonna get the batboy in a headlock after that swing.

[mtrebs]

Is anyone else not excited about how well Woodruff is pitching because it’s very likely that the Brewers offense won’t put enough runs up regardless of how well he pitches?

 

He could go 9 innings and not allow a hit and they still could lose in the 10th.

[homer]

That was a horrible strike call. This ump is awful.

[trwi7]

lol

[adambr2]

Lol this team.

[markedman5]

Manny has to get back on that…..man.

[homer]

Manny has to get back on that…..man.

 

I think he was screwed no matter what he did. Blame the crappy bunt.

[adambr2]

I feel like this team used to hit a lot of HRs once upon a time. What's our team leader got this year, 5?

[StCroixCtyBrewer]

This offense could screw up a wet dream

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

You know bunting is a lost art when even pitchers can't do it.

 

And Woodruff might be better than a position player or two on this roster...

[mtrebs]

That lead off hit is probably the game

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

It's hard to believe there are worse offenses in baseball, but there are. Like 4 of them

With the way extra innings is now would be fitting for a Brewer to pitch a perfect game and lose.

Their pitcher can.

Nah, you make them not catch the ball and throw it to 2nd. If Woodruff isn't running (he was but stopped when it was caught) then it's on him.

[homer]

Nice play, Woody!

Well, he did.

 

I don't have the numbers. Sure seems to me like even pitchers are sacrificing less (or failing to do it more).

[adambr2]

That was a fantastic pick by Vogelbach. Thought that was no shot.

[trwi7]

This offense could screw up a wet dream

 

I could think of a lot of things you could do with a bat that would screw up a wet dream, so that probably wasn't the best thing to name.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Alright, this is getting ridiculous. Offense time.

[trwi7]

Levering: I'd say the odds if Cain and Vogelbach reach to start the inning, I'd say the Brewers are going to score at least one run.

 

Brewers offense: We'll bet whatever you want that we don't.

 

At least in this scenario the Brewers offense would be banned from MLB for betting.

[wallus]

Come on past balls, walks and hit by pitches!
