The last two games we faced good pitching. Today there is no excuse to be struggling against this guy. Yelich just grounded out on a meatball down the middle.

He hit it 100 mph.

 

Meanwhile Henry hit one 50 mph for a single. 

Tellez and Urias have hit one to the wall. Brosseau hooked one foul that he ripped.

We have been terrible all week against awful teams.

The Marlins are not an "awful" team. They have some of the best pitching in baseball. 

[stoutdude04]

Annoying that the bottom of the order is doing so much this game.

Woody seems to be giving up some hard contact. I see we are going up against another cy young candidate.

[DuWayne Steurer]

regardless of what Woody's peripherals say, it's frustrating that it's not leading to results obviously.

I'm sure he'll turn it around still. if there's something mechanical, I trust the staff to figure it out.

You aren't missing much.  The Crew isn't playing well and all they want to talk about in the Marlin's 1997 WS win.

Atta boy Jace!

at least their decades-old nostalgia isn't celebrating a WS loss XD

[Brewcrew82]

Back to back!

[nate82]

That was a Cardinals magic home run.....

[DuWayne Steurer]

didn't take Peterson long to get his ops back up to respectable levels. 

glad they didn't cut bait with him when he was scuffling early.

Way to go Wong ! Even game now. Just need Woody to shut them down !

[Pugger]

Any news on Adames?

[nate82]

I have said this a few times but I think this has to be the absolute worst umpire crew.  They are missing absolutely strikes that are in the zone by 1-2 inches consistently.

They said day to day on the brewer radio broadcast.

I feel a Yelich bomb coming 

[Nola Beery]

Earlier in the day, I was gonna pontificate about how the Brewers don't play enough "situational" baseball and rely too much on big hits.  But after back-to-back dingers, maybe I'll save that for later.   ?  ?

Marlin announcers aren't happy this crew either either.

Could say the same for the Marlins. Woody and Hernandez have almost the same ERA.

I don’t think Woody will shut anyone down.

Woody is actually a good pitcher. Hernandez is not. Unless you think that 6 starts in 2022 negate three year's worth of being one of the best pitchers in baseball. 

[mtsportsfan]

Nice job of stringing some hits together ,

I looked at some video from last year and this year and his arm path is slightly different. Looks shorter and lower with less depth before the delivery starts.

Your right, he’ll probably win the Cy Young award this year. After three years of one of the best he is due to win the award.

No. But I have a high degree of confidence that he'll return to being that guy.
