Had to score in the top of this inning. Going to really pay for it now.

[82brewcrew82]

Group failure in this one.

[adambr2]

It wasn’t all his fault, but that was not a good outing by Woodruff.

I'm not sure I would have sent Woody back out.

We're probably better off he gets some length today and save the bullpen for the Phillies tomorrow.

Never mind, he's out. Need some length from Myers now.

[HarryDoyle]

Woody might not be on the team next year either. He's been scuffling lately after a great start.

[willie key]

and woody did nothing to pause my concern today.    Another half a garbage performance.   Well.   We got more out if him this year than I thought

[Bulldogboy]

Shameful performance thus far

[rccola42]

Recognizing that there was bad defense and luck at play today, there was always going to be regression with Woodruff that we've been seeing the past few outings.

I still think he can be a decent and effective pitcher, but hard to maintain elite or very good status throwing 92 mph in the modern MLB with average offspeed offerings.

I know people have the excuses ready but you can't say "he pitched great except the bad parts".  He hasn't been good lately.

[yourout]

We might need Myers to start before it's all said and done.

[Nola Beery]

This one's getting stinky. Can we just toss it out now?

[HarveysWBs]

Yeah I think it’ll be a good afternoon for errands after all—and if I come back to a win, it will be a lovely surprise.

But I’ll leave the house thinking this: as someone who’s done a lot of teaching and a fair bit of coaching and parenting, this is what I like to call a “your crap still stinks” day. Doesn’t do anything good for your blood pressure, but it does wonders for your ability to remind your pupils that if they are going to get where we all want to go, it’s going to still take a lot more focus and intelligence than they showed today.

Murphy was a might too late pulling Woody today. We might have to relook at our playoff starters minus Woodruff.

Quintana isn’t really the greatest option either.    It is what it is.  Maybe miz matures out of nowhere

Like it or not, Woody is starting a playoff game.

They better figure something out fast or it will be another one and done.

Mona stays on fire.

He might get hurt too.   Don’t be too sure.   One thing about brewers pitchers is they don’t really like to pitch a whole season

[folly412]

Thought it was former Brewer Gus Varland coming in.  We might have had a chance, but we got the wrong brother.

Just tap out now, have Myers finish this one off and let's go home with a fresh bullpen.

[Bulldogboy]

Who the heck is Myles Straw

I think he went by Matos in the last series.
