Maybe Woodruff can buck the history of Brewers aces being out much longer than the original projections.
Us old timers were stung by cases like Teddy Higuera and Juan Nieves in addition to more recent examples like Ben Sheets and Jimmy Nelson.
The fact that Woodruff said the injury would be season ending if it occurred around the All Star break pretty clearly indicates that he won’t be back until sometime after the All Star break at the earliest.
Season ending doesn’t seem out of the question.
Don’t feel bad that I couldn’t watch any of the game after about the third inning.. Every time I checked the score it had gotten worse.
On another note, this site has become almost unbearable with all of the ads that pop up in between posts when you try to scroll through.
My point is that he was much more of a spray hitter than a pull hitter even at his best. The big thing is getting some elevation instead of pounding the ball into the ground.
If someone knows where to find a spray chart of Yelich’s 2018 season I think you’ll find that more of his HRs were to left center and center than to right center and right.
My heart sings when I see him stroking a ball to the gap in left center.
I don’t think that’s really true.
Before he started hitting a lot of HRs in the second half of 2018 a lot of his hits were to left center.
Even when he started hitting HRs a lot of them were to left center and straight away center.
I had some hopes that the Jays would end the Rays winning streak tonight and leave the Brewers with a share of the record.
Those hopes took a big hit when I saw the Berrios was starting.
ETA- Springer homered off Drew Rasmussen to give the Jays a quick 1-0 lead.
Because it is all but an absolute certainty that there will be injuries (in addition to the ones that have already sprouted up) that isn’t exactly going out on a limb.
I’m glad Counsell went against his usual pattern of saving his closer for a save situation in road games.
After his last two outings I hope he’s considering someone other than Bush for the setup role.
We got spoiled with the Williams/Hader closing combo. There are going to be more lost leads this year.
Now the indignity of getting shut down by Hader while he gets the win.
The Cards pitching staff didn’t look like that much of a dumpster fire last weekend as they held the Brewers to 10 runs in 3 games.
I enjoy every Cardinals loss, but I don’t think they’re the disaster some are making them out to be, even right now.
I would think that people would learn that the Cardinals are never a dumpster fire for very long. As an organization they always have the resources in both players and cash to put together a contending team.
I don’t think they are panicking about a 5-7 start.any more than they were about being 4 games behind the Brewers in late July last year.
