I think we're only going to get 3 out of Woody tonight, and that may be generous.

[82brewcrew82]

ugh

[yfinn6]

That was center-cut. Woodruff is lucky that stayed in the park. 

[kevinisaname]

Now he gets a call off the corner, lol.

[BCF]

Ump cost 2 runs now 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Is it me, or are umps intentionally getting worse as the season goes on this year?

Its been bad for sure.

[willie key]

Well.  This would be huge for the cubs to beat woody with their last pitcher.

Yeah, he missed the one to Caissie, which was an obvious strike on the corner, then called one for Woo 2 inches off the plate in the same location.

[Bulldogboy]

Tucker being benched has done wonders. Who would have guessed?

It’s the 3rd inning..

[Underachiever]

This is not fun. Vaughn misplayed the line  drive, dropped the pop up, Ortiz dropped the stolen base throw, Jansen dropped the relay(wouldn’t have mattered), but the whole thing is off.

[kevinisaname]

Contreras smoking some balls, just hitting at'em balls.

[yfinn6]

Feels like Taillon has been in the middle of the plate with most of his stuff and the Brewers can't quite take advantage (yet). 

[kevinisaname]

A very quick inning for Taillon. That's not ideal.

[BCF]

Not a good inning for the offense there 

[82brewcrew82]

Dang it, let Taillon off the hook.

Karma???!! NO

But we'll never win if we play like that.

[wntrtxn21]

Boy that inning was pathetic. Crew needs a lot better ABs the way Woodruff is throwing. He's not going to make it past 4. 

 

[yfinn6]

Jesus. What kind of throw was that?

Can’t let the whole inning fall apart just because of one single bad non strike call. As long as we still have human umpires, it’s still going to happen. Still gotta buckle down and make pitches.

[TURBO]

Geez, the bad ump posts tonight are getting a bit much.  Yes, we get it, umps are crap in general, not just tonight.

 

[willie key]

Get rid of the box on tv and baseball would be more enjoyable.    Too many people ***** about balls and strikes 

[kevinisaname]

Much better inning by Woodruff.

Pressure getting to the boys
