2021-08-19: Brewers (Woodruff) at Cardinals (Lester) [Brewers lose, 8-4]

[PeaveyFury]

My goodness this team is exciting.

I'm not sure that the Cards deadline strategy of bringing in every washed up vet starter that they could find is going to be enough.

[adambr2]

That was a VERY aggressive send. I thought Sedar was back for a second there.

 

2 outs it was the right call

 

There was a slight misplay by O'Neill. Not even much of a misplay but wasn't quite able to grab it on the first swipe and it cost him a second or two, prior to that I think Wong was holding.

Think about how hard pitching is to find for teams hit by the injury bug…..I mean the Padres picked up Arrieta and threw him right into the rotation.

Does anyone know who the projected Brewer starter are for the Twins series next weekend.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Imagine tonight's "A" pen is some combo of Sanchez, Cousins, Suter, and Box.

 

Would like Woody to keep up the efficiency of the last two innings.

It is pretty crazy that two teams with playoff aspirations made acquisitions to their rotation that included Arrieta, Lester, and J.A. Happ. Great rotation additions, if it's 2014....

[ReverendBrewmeister]

There’s the Woodruff we know. Great shutdown inning in the 4th.

[markedman5]

Good to see that curve ball again……threw some great ones that inning

That was pretty efficient.

Nice quick inning for Woody after taking the lead, just what the doctor ordered.

It really is amazing lol……when I saw they picked up Arrieta it was like “ what are they doing?”

 

Must have not felt like they had any other better options…..which is crazy to think about.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Man, Yelich can really run.

[adambr2]

I know Molina has had a great career and all but the loyalty the Cardinals have shown to keep him around is just nuts. He's an average player at his position at this point in his career and now they are extending him again. They are letting guys like Wong walk rather than pay him. Can they not find a better use for $9M than a 40 year old catcher?

[jason21nl]

Lester looks like one of the most miserable humans on the planet

[markedman5]

I know they won’t do it but I’d like to see Taylor get some starts in center vs lefties

[markedman5]

He was sitting on that curve…..not a bad pitch…..just a good hitter

[adambr2]

Really a bad last couple outings for Woodruff.

[markedman5]

Ouch

[jason21nl]

Holy crap Woody. Just serve it up

[HarveysWBs]

Well, so much for that lead.

[willie key]

Woodruff. Not a big fan of getting wins

[pacopete4]

Any chance at a Cy Young, good bye.

[adambr2]

Hard to say it wasn't a bad pitch. It was pretty much the definition of a hanger.

[82brewcrew82]

Wow, not good.
