Even worse in that scenario if the bullpen is dead 4 days from today and needs that from BW. Then what if he doesn't make it through 4?

You seem to be concerned that not getting 2 more outs from Woodruff tonight is going to unravel the next two weeks. 
 

There are a lot of “what ifs” that could happen and Counsell will deal with them as they come up. 
 

There are 8 guys in the bullpen. If they’re all dead in 4 days things have gone seriously wrong.

Well, how about that - our loser manager let Brice Turang face a lefty.

LOL, I was thinking it but didn't have the courage to type it.

[Brewcrew82]

Okay Bryse. Your job is to not make Devin Williams enter the game...

[82brewcrew82]

Low effort swing.

[BruisedCrew]

This is a situation that always makes me a little uneasy. 
 

I get trying to finish off the game without using Williams. But if Wilson runs into immediate trouble, they can’t bring in Williams until he’s faced 3 batters. 
 

Worst case scenario: Wilson doesn’t retire anyone and Williams comes in with nobody out, the tying run at the plate, and the top of the Cardinals order coming up. 
 

I don’t want to see Goldschmidt again until tomorrow.

Nice!

[HarryDoyle]

Wilson dotted that one.

[yourout]

Very satisfying win.

More please.

Or he kicks ass, and Brewers win six in a row! LFG!!!

[HarryDoyle]

I thought this Cardinals offense was good.

[Brewcrew82]

Fun! 6-1 baby!! 4 games clear of the Cards just one week into the season

[nate82]

Early in the season but the Cardinals do not look like the clear favorite in the NL Central.  It is going to be a long season for them if they can't figure out their rotation.

[LouisEly]

Adames bringing out the untuckem against the Classies!!

[HarryDoyle]

Wouldn't it be great to sweep this series and put the Cards down six games in the standings right out of the gate?

[folly412]

All at once, Brewers win and Cardinals lose.

Bullpen wasn't all that great either.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Nice to not have to use Devon or Peter in this game.  That should help for the rest of the series.

Not sure how I feel about Bryse yet, but he looked good today.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I’d like to take this moment to remind everyone that this team just beat their biggest rival and is now 6-1, literally the best record in the league. 

[brewcrewdue80]

Just because Cards are our #1 contender.

Up 4games in division. Let's go and win the series tomorrow.

This is so much fun right now.  Going to enjoy it

But they’re only 1 game ahead of those pesky Pirates. 😀

So much easier on the eyes.

[willie key]

I’m more worried about the pirates

Rob Manfred and Matt Arnold/David Stearns may have saved baseball...
