2021-08-12: Brewers (Woodruff) at Cubs (Hendricks) [Brewers win, 17-4 -- Crew batters combine for 22 hits including 11 extra base hits and 5 home runs]

[KeithStone53151]

More inexperience at 1b, that's the second baseman's ball. That said, Woodruff still should have made that play.

[JET15]

If Woody doesn't get a handle on this, we're going to the bullpen earlier than we hoped

[BruisedCrew]

In limited time, Escobar has shown that you can’t just plug someone in at 1B without having some problems. While his toss there wasn’t horrible, and Woodruff should have handled it, it was behind him and messed up what should have been an easy out.

[stoutdude04]

Chirinos need 5 strikes for a k I guess.

[Nola Beery]

Don't get sloppy, now, especially with the wind blowing out. And Levering, stop saying "Woodruff doesn't give up many homers"!

[markedman5]

Lots of pitches for Woody…..going to need the pen today

[markedman5]

Man Woody

[wibadgers23]

What in the world is going on out there?

[adambr2]

Oh Brandon. Can't do that. Hope it doesn't cost him.

[JET15]

Lots of pitches for Woody…..going to need the pen today

 

Yeah, too, bad. I'm sure CC was hoping for at least 6

 

This game is going to be a long one at this rate

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Seriously Woody? Walking Hendricks on four straight? Stop messing around!

[dlk9s]

Does it look like there's something wrong with Woody or is just one of those games?

[BruisedCrew]

Woodruff will be lucky to go 5 today. Maybe he doesn’t know what to do with so many runs.

[BruisedCrew]

It looks like Woodruff is really struggling with the heat. Strange.

[BruisedCrew]

Better get somebody ready soon. Woodruff looks like he’s ready to pass out.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Jesus....

[willie key]

Does woody actually want to win a game the rest of year

[adambr2]

My dude. Throw strikes. You are doing basically the only thing that is going to let these guys back in the game.

[Nola Beery]

Yikes! Come on, Woodruff!

[owbc]

Just one of those situations where he had a long break after the 1st, a missed defensive play, and started to labor with a high pitch count in the inning. Seems like he's just going to throw fastballs to get out of this.

[tomwopat]

Woody throwing angry now

[adambr2]

Fortunate we just gave up the 1 run the way things were going. Keep an eye on Woodruff the next couple innings. More runs would never hurt either.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Woody is gonna need a couple 10-pitch innings now, or he'll be lucky to make it to the 5th.

[dlk9s]

It looks like Woodruff is really struggling with the heat. Strange.

 

That happened to me once in high school. Middle of the summer, 90+ degrees at noon. During the first two innings, I thought I might pass out. My dad brought me ice water-soaked towels to wrap around my neck in the dugout. Fortunately, I pushed through and felt fine once I got to the third. Ended up pitching five of the seven innings because we were kicking ass and there was no reason to go more in that heat.

I'm pretty sure he is trying to throw strikes.
