Hopefully Woodruff can get a win here today. A sweep at home is not a good thing. The Bucks disappointed last night and RIP Bart Starr. WI fans need some good news today.

[Brew crew 92]

It’s nice to watch a pitcher pound the zone with 3 plus pitches. Bullpen could use a day off.

Thank you David Stearns for not trading Woodruff when I'm sure everyone was asking for him.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Can Woodruff play 1B. Half serious here.

[folly412]

I re-up my request to have Woody take two turns in the rotation and play somewhere in the field the remaining three days.

[yourout]

Need to start calling Woodruff....Babe.

[timpep]

Woodruff makes the Sunday lineup look pretty good doesn't he.

[yourout]

This could take the sting out of an otherwise crappy sports weekend.

[Brew crew 92]

We have our Ace/Stopper.

[Brew crew 92]

Second game in a row we brought a runner in from third with less than two outs!! Baby steps.

[markedman5]

Velasquez has thrown 13 pitches.... 2 homers....a double a single and 2 outs.....that's amazing

[markedman5]

Babe Woodruff.....lol.....man

[yourout]

Damn Woody has a solid swing.

[homer]

Turns game on - hey gotta see this no hit shutout!

One pitch later - back to gardening...

[OldHeidelberg]

Well crap, with the big lead thought he might have a shot...

[Zad Fnark]

Hey Hammer. The 80s called and want their glasses back.

[Zad Fnark]

Dup.

[TURBO]

Easterbrook is a jerk, plain and simple.

[MrTPlush]

Sorry Moose, but that isn’t really the time to have a conversation. He deserved to be tossed...the Ump may be a douche, but Moose got what he deserved.

Yeah, gave him plenty of chances to stop and he didn’t.

 

Also funny that Woodruff didn’t know the strikeout of Hoskins was the third out.

Moose went over just to ask him about the check swing call. Calmly ask him about it. Estabrook said "It was 100% a swing, I'm not talking about this". Moose says "I just want to have a conversation about it" and Estabrook tossed him.

 

You can talk to the refs, period. These umpires that throw guys out of game for petty stuff like this have no place in this game, Moose 1000000% did not "get what he deserved". This guy has a problem, based on this and his strike zone yesterday...dude should go back to umping high school baseball.

Nah, he could have talked before/after the inning if it was oh so important. He didn’t, and wanted to have a full blown conversation in the middle of an inning. Moose was trying to create a scene and got tossed. I am great-fully glad random arguments that have nothing to do with what just happened on the field are not allowed.

Devil's advocate but what if we had traded Woodruff for Machado and won the World Series?

 

It is the argument many use to justify the Chapman for Gleyber Torres trade for the Cubs. I'm also glad we didnt trade Woodruff, by the way.
