Good to see Woodruff throwing so well.

 

It is frustrating that it took 8 weeks for him to throw 2 innings. The latest example of why I am skeptical about the timelines the Brewers give for returns from injuries.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

Woody looked just as nasty as he did during his near dominant stretch this year. Great to have him back. Two more starts in the regular season for him unless they decide to hold him for a possible Wild Card game.

 

Like either BA or Rock just said - getting Woody back is like acquiring a tpo FA right before October.

Oblique injuries are extremely tough to get a read on, because they are a tough muscle to rehab. yeah, it's a bummer that it was on the longer edge of the timeline, but I wouldn't say the Brewers suffered too much not having Woody over the last 2-3 weeks. Where it hurts is that he won't by fully stretched out for the beginning of the postseason.

My broader point is not about Woodruff or oblique injuries, but Brewers injuries in general. My rule of thumb is to take the back end of the range they give and add a week and that ends up being accurate as often as not.

 

The worst example was when they said Greinke would miss two starts to start the 2011 season and he missed two months. They explained that they only meant that they would need a fifth starter only twice while Greinke was out, and even that was grossly understated.

 

The other was saying Nelson would miss much of the first half of the 2018 season.
