Brewers (Woodruff) vs Red Sox (Bello): 4/6/26, 5:45pm

Well he’s giving them some much needed innings 

[Bulldogboy]

Professional inning there. Props

[edfunderburk]

That was a savvy veteran four pitch inning from Woodruff 💪🙌👏

Any chance Murph let’s him go back out for the sixth?

[jason21nl]

Need Chourio and Vaughn back to break up the heavy lefty lineup

Looks like Woodruff was coming back out for the 6th.

What a weird game.

 

Curt Hogg just called it "unserious" on bluesky...

These 92 mph fastball variants with a changeup aren't going to play.  I think I'd rather see Gasser, Crow, or Henderson. 

 

Agreed. I love pitchers who succeed with the "all three fastballs" approach, but all those pitches have to be at least plus. Woody has an average 4 seam, average 2 seam, and decent cutter. His change is very good and his sweeper is solid (he needs to start using it more)

[Sugarrayray]

I tell ya, Murph never used to do this, but this stacking 3 lefties in a row, knowing you’re not going to pinch hit for them, is a terrible idea. Absurd.

I think instead of trotting Woody back out or trying to see if he can get Grant Andershot’s arm to fall off, Murph should just see if he can get a few innings out of Hall. Gotta see if he can ever be more than mop up duty. 

I like this...hard lefty after softer righty. I'm sure there'll be some analytics thrown in there with the green monster and Boston hitting lefties blahblahblah

Does Murphy truly believe he can use Ashby EVERYDAY?

Yes. Yes he does

[yourout]

2 hours and not through 6 innings yet. 

Old school game.

[Frisbee Slider]

It has been a volatile futures market for Brandon Woodruff today. He seems perfectly capable of mixing speeds, hitting his locations and keeping hitters off balance enough to be effective. I predict Woodruff provides market value performance in 2026.

This narrative is pretty overblown, he hasn’t even pitched on back to back days yet this year…

Ask Koenig about Murphy bullpen management. It's going to catch up to you sometime.

According to Gemini AI … Bluesky has 40 million users while X has 588 million users … I prefer X 

[Bio_met]

Woody sure ground it out on a night where he didn't have his best stuff. Seems like a solid veteran contribution.

Meh

Rengifo looks kind of useless.

He'll have plenty of time to rest when he's on the 15-day IL.

[jason21nl]

It’s pretty amazing the Brewers have the record they do.  They have quite a few dudes that simply can’t hit.  

[Bulldogboy]

Chourio isn't perfect but man do I miss him. Brewers have to have him back asap.

Oh ok? He’s on pace for over 100 innings out of the bullpen this year. Before this game’s usage.

Maybe every day isn’t the right descriptor. But relieving every OTHER day and being a multi inning reliever is unheard of these days.

41 pitches on Saturday for Ashby as he walks the leadoff man.
