Brewers (Woodruff) vs Nationals (Littell): 4/12/26, 1:10pm

[HarryDoyle]

Well that pitcher is done until 2028.

[Bulldogboy]

Hard to rally when Hamilton or Ortiz or Perkins seem to be leading off every inning.

The early hook on Woodruff was really questionable and he paid for it.

You think the Nationals have more talent? The manager seems to be pushing some buttons this weekend. 

Like telling James Wood to hit?

You’re putting WAY too much weight on the mangers for the results of these three games.

All I said was his lack of in game skill is about to be exposed with this roster. I don’t think it's something to argue about. You seem to for whatever reason

What a terrible week of baseball. No wins since an ugly one on Monday. This team has not gelled. Injuries are only part of the story. We have a deficiency in major league talent when compared to most of our opponents. 

But the prospects!!

[Sixtolezcano]

Sanchez….best hitter on the Brewers.

 

[adambr2]

They really need to find a way to pull this off now.

Disclaimer:  I have not followed these recent games closely at all, so I admit I may be totally wrong.  But perhaps the Nats have figured out how to beat us at our own game, including simply not giving away runs with shabby defense?  And of course, we can't hit for 💩

[HarryDoyle]

Whatever Bauers and Sanchez lack in defense they certainly make up for it in power.

[Bulldogboy]

He's going to dh alot if Yelich is out

Oh wow.  We scored! My post did not age well, thankfully.

Yelich to IL, Quero up. Sanchez as DH

And what I’m saying is that in game moves can be greatly overrated in a baseball game.

If the hitters don’t hit and the pitchers can’t get guys out the manager is not going to make a difference. 

Message board posters who can second guess everything are never wrong.

Didn’t Nashville give up 10 stolen bases in one game early this past week with Quero behind the plate?

[Nola Beery]

And how about that bullpen! 🙄

If Yelich is injured & goes on the IL, who gets the call from Nashville?

On merit it would be Luis Lara, then Eddys Leonard or Greg Jones. The 40-man is not super flexible right now unless they're willing to DFA Black or Rodriguez or 60-day Rob Z.  So it might actually end up being Cooper Pratt.

So you're saying the 2 time manager of the year is just along for the ride? Interesting 

[jason21nl]

This team….

[folly412]

Hope no one took for granted our years of having a very good bullpen.  This is what those teams with bad ones have had to put up with.

Give us your take on Ashby every other day.

[HarryDoyle]

What's more of a guarantee, the sun rising in the east or Ashby pitching every other game?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

This team needs to do some bullpen reshuffling on Monday. And to get healthy.

We're 15 games in, so everything is a big whatever, but you'd expect these guys to do the little things right. Not doing that, especially on defense, has been a really big problem this past week.

Hoping they can continue to hit and win a slugfest here, but they're really going to have to get guys right or bring up some new 6th-8th inning arms soon.

[Bulldogboy]

If he was going to pitch Ashby why didn't he start the inning? Oh well manager doesn't matter. 

[trwi7]

Remember when we traded Williams for Durbin and Cortes and Cortes was so bad we felt the need to trade him along with a prospect to San Diego for Lockridge and then to compound it all we actually think Lockridge is good and play him way too much?
