Let's get some run production tonight.

Wonder if Matos makes it to the park in time to start against the lefty..

[Outlander]

Sure seems like it will be a struggle against lefties until Vaughn and Chourio get back.  Pretty weak lineup no matter who Murphy puts out there.

[markedman5]

Matos not in lineup

This is the biggest challenge for sure until they get the two RHH back---facing LH starters. In the meantime I   think they need to get something out of Perkins who has better splits vs LHP, and Rengifo whose splits are also slightly better. And this is the chance for Lockridge to make a statement.

[Underachiever]

I am very excited to see Woodruff pitch

[RobertCrawley]

Velocity down and down the middle.

Quit giving up homers in the first inning.   Jesus

[yourout]

Ray's are a solid club. 

Play sound baseball.

Offense looks AWOL again tonight.

Brewers cannot afford major injuries. They are paper thin. You have already seen more of Hamilton Lockridge etc than they can afford. 

[edfunderburk]

Oh no … It’s the 2023 offense against lefties 

[yourout]

Woof..... Completely lost at the plate.

[edfunderburk]

Woodruff should be rehabbing in Nashville - not pitching batting practice in Milwaukee 

[Fear The Chorizo]

A pair of solo homers arent the end of the world across 5 innings pitched...but it seems that way when the offense hasnt shown up for 1.5 games

He does have 6ks...this is what he is at this point in his career.  He will give up bombs and some loud outs but largely limits the damage and gives his team a shot to win if they opt to hit

[edfunderburk]

I love Woody a ton … one of my all-time favorite Brewers … but this version of Woody looks very “hittable”

Hopefully, he will gain strength & improve in the next few starts

[Bulldogboy]

This Woody is a great number 5 in a rotation. Now about that 20 million price tag.

[yourout]

Broke the seal.

[yourout]

Plate umpire is really struggling with pitches down and away from lefties.
