Game Thread (9/22/2022): Brewers (Woodruff) at Reds (Greene) - 5:40 PM CDT

[The stache]

This is likely Woody’s last batter. He’s at 94 pitches.

Our bullpen should be able to hold a 4-1 lead for 3.

Not if Rogers gets brought in.

[The stache]

No outs, runners on first and third, and Judge on deck.

If they get loaded, this could get interesting. 

[yourout]

Brewers have to have one of the least productive catching combos in the bigs.

[The stache]

Bases loaded.

[Brewcrew82]

Strzlecki pitching in the 7th tells me CC has lost confidence in Rogers. Good to see. 

[willie key]

Woody did his job this second half.    He’s one of the very few who can look in the mirror the second half

or, Rogers is getting a rest day.

When did Gameday change their desktop interface?  They didn't do a good job of testing it - you can't see the full box score, it cuts out everything starting with batting average and you can't scroll over.

No that would be the Cardinals.  wRC+ for the Brewers combined catching is 81 which puts them 19th in MLB.  The bottom 5 are Pirates (55), Astros (59), Angels (61), Guardians (62), Rockies (62) and Cardinals (62).

You can even add the Mets with a 63 wRC+ at catcher.

If this holds, Woodruff goes to 6-1 with a 2.40 ERA, and 120 K in 96 2/3 IP since returning from the DL.

He’s been pretty kick ass.

But but but….Yadi is the bestest catcher evah!

That has to be incorrect, Molina is a GOD!

[yourout]

Seems odd they didn't have a larger shift for Lopez.

[yourout]

Strzelecki seems destined for Boxburgers roll somewhere in the future.

That's hard to believe. I dread seeing Narveas or Caratini at the plate.

[yourout]

About 2/3 of the lineup right now is not hitting a lick.

[yourout]

If he keeps this up Wong will have to pee in a cup for probably the first time in his career.

[Brewcrew82]

I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if they picked up Wong's option, particularly if you view his defensive performance this year as an anomaly. 

[treego14]

Ding-Dong-Wong!

Kolten is Bolt'in!

[Nola Beery]

We are amused.  Yayyyyy.

[treego14]

Woody has been a Goody!

What's his WAR at for the year so far?

At the break I would have said no way in hell I want him back but I'm with you he's done enough in the second half to at least give some thought to bring him back.

[liveforoctober]

I do believe Kolton's WAR deserves to go up a full point after tonight.

[yourout]

Peterson 1 for 17 and 5 for 38.
