Game Thread (4/20/2022): Pirates (Keller) at Brewers (Woodruff) - 12:40 PM CDT

Let's go get a sweep

[Frisbee Slider]

With off day tomorrow, which regular gets a bonus day off today?

[Frisbee Slider]

Suggested lineup:

Wong 4

Yellich 7

Tellez 3

Narvaez 2

Renfroe 9

Taylor 8

Hiura  DH

Brosseau 6

Peterson 5

Let’s get Adames an extra day off. Today seems as good of a day as any for Hiura to get ABs against a RHP.

Get well soon, Luis Urias!

[Frisbee Slider]

Lineup posted, Hiura DH and probably for the better, Adames at SS. Can anyone on the roster play 9 innings at SS other than Adames?

[Outlander]

Maybe give Narvaez the DH spot today so he doesn't have to play the field but can still hit as he has had success against Keller in a very small sample.

Taylor for Cain as well.

[Brewcrew82]

What a treat to be able to watch burnes and woodruff back-to-back. 

[Frisbee Slider]

Good inning from Brandon!

[magnoliacrew]

Nice to see Counsell has 3 lefties at the top four spots of the line up.

[homer]

Pretty sure Keller is a guy that a few publications predicted would have a fantasy breakout this year. Control issues have been his big bugaboo. Hope he doesn't find the zone today.

[Brewcrew82]

Yelich continues to hit the ball hard. 

[treego14]

Hunter is hunting for liners!?

[Brewcrew82]

Please don't do that again, Woody. 

[magnoliacrew]

I don't like pitchers fielding ground balls with their pitching hand!

[Brewcrew82]

Rowdy=Lefty 2018 Aguilar. I'm speaking it into existence. 

[treego14]

Howdy, Rowdy! ?

He's definitely giving off a "random 35 HR, 100 RBI season" vibe so far. 

[treego14]

Hunter is hunting for singles and Jace is on base.  ??

[Joseph Zarr]

I want all you beautiful Brewers fans to know I am holding down the gross game in Appleton right now to ensure Woody and the lads experience success in Milwaukee. These are the things we must do to prevent disruptions in 'The Force'. Enjoy the game, gents! It's 7-2 Quad Cities in a painful affair top of 5.

[BruisedCrew]

Hiura looks a lot like last year’s version.

Woodruff decided the outfielders needed more work after not getting any fly balls last night.

True. Fortunately Woodruff might actually look better than last year's version.

[Brewcrew82]

Pirates hitters be like, "We gotta see these exact same pitchers again next week?!"

In his defense, I'm sure the inconsistent playing time isn't helping. Thinking he'll be the guy to go down when urias returns.

When Urias returns, I think we will be seeing a Jon Singleton call-up. Double Lefty issues at first base be damned. It's Singleton time and I'm all aboard the hype train.? I say this, because, well Keston isn't showing enough imho to demand a roster spot. Albeit, in limited playing time, but I think what we are seeing is more of the same unfortunately. I'd love to be wrong. Truly.
