I like that we don't wait for 2 strikes before we decide to swing like we did in the past. Aggressive baseball is the best. 

Can you feel it?????💪🏿

I'm confused by this not scoring for two innings.

Hope that clears things up for you.

65 pitches seems early, maybe just anticipating he won't go more than 1 more?

He is done.

[Team Canada]

I imagine we'll get the rationale later, curious if he just felt he was done, or the extra runs flipped the decision.

Looked like he was coming out before they scored the runs. And now Shelby might be injured.

[RobertCrawley]

Come on, Miller.

OK. I saw that Miller was in on my phone and panicked, so sounds like all was well with Woody, and maybe he won't have an extra off day (with the double header next Monday), give him a little rest given pitch count and the score I hope 🤞

[kevinisaname]

Well, there's a 3-run homer. Maybe Shelby shouldn't be in there.

 

Edit: He's hanging everything.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Well, it's quickly a game again.

After missing the entire 2024 season following right shoulder surgery?

He's throwing so badly they thought he was injured.

[Yaz19]

Why oh why does Murphy make a head-scratching move denying Woody the decision at least?

[BCF]

65 pitches with a lot of base runners and people on is different than 65 pitches dominating 

My guess is he was only gonna go one more regardless 

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I will be quite pleased when Bryan Reynolds is one day wearing a different uniform.

Obviously that happened, but he's thrown more in other outings if I recall correctly.

[kevinisaname]

I hope someone is up...

 

Edit: Mears is.

Because it's not about EGO its about preservation now.

So maybe Shelby Miller is not going to be a hero for this pen. 

[BruisedCrew]

I winced when Levering said something about sniffing burgers. Just let the game play out. 

[HarryDoyle]

Uribe and Megill need work anyway.

[kevinisaname]

That was a bad inning (which is not over). Very wild and a lot of uncompetitive pitches.

He looked very sharp his last time out. He'll need to get it figured out.

[Slippery_Pete]

That's not how we do things here in Milwaukee, Shelby.

[tmwiese55]

Hall has had two days off, kind of surprised he wasn't used here for two innings instead.  We'll see how it plays out

[kevinisaname]

Tying run is up for Mears...
