Can Hoskins catch a game if Contreras gets injured? 

No but why keep Seigler just because he can catch? We don't typically have three guys capable of catching so I'm not going to start worrying about that now.

[RobertCrawley]

Great work by Woody. I think that's it for him tonight, even though he's only at 83 pitches or so.

[Bulldogboy]

Bullpen set up is what for tonight?

[AKCheesehead]

Barry Horowitz 🤣 

I'm not sure if Woo was tiring out a bit.  I don't really want to see Fedde coming into a 2 run game.

[folly412]

I request some Badger Mutual Insurance runs.

Also, Yoho and Payamps make me feel less uncomfortable than Fedde.

Fedde was warming up and I have no confidence in a 2-run lead holding up if he's coming in next inning.

[BruisedCrew]

This is being played like a getaway day game.

[HarryDoyle]

That would've been great if Bauers had taken that HBP too.

Interesting. We are going to need a couple more runs.

We will see, Bauers gave up less than 2 runs once. 

[kevinisaname]

Well, it's Fedde for the seventh. Please add on now!

[wibadgers23]

Fedde against the heart of the order is certainly a choice.

[Brian]

Woodruff coming back out looks like.

Wishful thinking but no.

Might be asking a little too much of him, we shall see.  If it's between that and Fedde though....

[markedman5]

Yeah could use Koenig here…..but they obviously have some guys down and a bunch of others that don’t inspire confidence……it is what it is.

Fedde was coming in

 

[AKCheesehead]

Ugh nevermind.  Wellp, fingers crossed.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Fedde for the heart of the Pirates lineup in the 7th is an interesting choice. 

[Bulldogboy]

I'm wondering if Yoho is going to see some late inning action tonight. He's been bad here but great in minors. Time to see what he can do.

[kevinisaname]

Leadoff double... I'm worried.

[AKCheesehead]

Man, Reynolds is a royal pain.  Fedde pitched him pretty well that AB. 

[Simba2020]

I'm sorry, but if I was a betting man, I would have put a quick bet on the Pirates with Fedde coming in.

That could never be predicted off Fedde.
