2021-07-31: Brewers (Woodruff) at Braves (Muller) [Brewers lose, 8-1 -- Blown strike 3 call precedes Braves HR to break tie; Curtiss falls victim to some bad luck while getting tagged for 5 runs]

[Underachiever]

Soler brings his KC mojo with him.

[adambr2]

Sure looked to me like Soler went around on that 1-2 before smacking a single to center, but thanks to Bally Sports not showing the replay, we'll never know.

[adambr2]

Woodruff does not have his best stuff tonight. Leadoff walks often will hurt you.

[JET15]

Woodruff does not have his best stuff tonight.

 

And we gave him 1 in run support so he cant complain

Glad we’re not in the East and have to deal with that Braves lineup 20 times a year. But yeah, him and Burnes both struggled.

For sure. The Braves lineup is loaded.

[adambr2]

Weird that Adames struggles so badly against lefties. I didn't realize til tonight how extreme his reverse splits are, not just this season but his entire career.

[adambr2]

Brewers hitters really having a tough time picking up Muller's curve.

How cool is it that you say this on a guy who has 53strikes in 73 pitches and giving up on 1 run in 4IP? If the offense here could just stop watching strikes go by with runners on, and score some runs you'd shrug your shoulders.

 

OK cool, they let a pitch hit them while we avoid 3 that would have.

Don't get me wrong, Woodruff's "not best" stuff is still better than most guys best.

[JET15]

Nice relay from Wong to get that play done

[adambr2]

Braves baserunning has sucked this series.

[adambr2]

Great job working through that inning without giving up a run.

[pacopete4]

Defense matters. I love a good hitting the cut play and getting an out at home. Great stuff.

[Oxy]

Can we get a SB please?

[stoutdude04]

CB Bucknor is bad.

[adambr2]

Braves pitchers are clearly targeting the outside corner, knowing full well that Bucknor is dumb and has been giving several inches off the outside corner all night.

[PinaMadness]

Is this the "defense matters" IGT tonight?

[Oxy]

Taylor has to tag up on that. If he drops it/it's over his head he scores walking in.

[pacopete4]

Some good hustle be Pina down the line.

[adambr2]

I hate hacking 3-0. If you're going to do it you has better make better contact than that.

[wildcat83]

CB Bucknor is bad.

 

Confusing to listen to…

 

“First pitch to Cain, four inches off the outside edge. Strike one.”

[brewcrewdue80]

That was the Jesse Chavez who has long past being a counted on RP. Sucks we missed out on that scoring opportunity for the 9th? time tonight.

[Oxy]

I hate hacking 3-0. If you're going to do it you has better make better contact than that.

 

While Woodruff is a nice hitter for a P, he is still pretty bad, and there already are 2 outs. That is the exact time an 8 hitter needs to hack on 3-0. Especially since Pina has been seeing it well lately.

 

EDIT: If a PH is a foregone conclusion, then, sure, take on 3-0. It wasn't though.

[yourout]

Might be another one for Suter to poach the win.
