Brandon Woodruff: Batter (White Sox) vs Pitching Stats

 

Lucas Giolito: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

I am left with the decision on which pitcher to start on 2 of my fantasy teams. I'm just going to start them both and see what happens. lol

For sure start Woodruff, though I'd probably start both.

 

I'm debating on Robert for today, and the only reason is Woodruff. I figure if I start him, he'll probably go 0-4 with 3 strikeouts. If I don't, he's hitting 2 bombs. So for the Brewers sake, I probably should start him

[TURBO]

That Sox line-up is so much better than ours... This team could be really good for a long time to come.

[Eye Black]

I like this White Sox lineup a lot, but I am hopeful that Woodruff is the type of veteran pitcher that can take advantage of some of their aggressiveness.

 

Edit: White Sox now have 6 infield hits in the past 10 innings against the Brewers.

Yah let’s not throw that Hiura.

[adambr2]

When fans return to Miller Park, the ones on the 1st base side may want to switch from face masks to hockey masks for any Hiura start.

Maybe they still have them from the Garza days.

Maybe that is the reason for extended netting.

[MrTPlush]

Woodruff should be hitting and Yelich should have the DH covering him in the lineup.

make that 7 IF hits..geez

[PinaMadness]

Maybe when the White Sox built this heavy hitting lineup they really meant great infield single hitters.

Not like that would be legal. Having Woodruff hitting instead of Morrison as DH might be OK until Woodruff leaves.

Narvaez's framing looking particularly bad this inning. The clear strike fooled Encarnacion by the way it was caught, then the ump decided to go the other way on an identical pitch even though that was a strike as well.

[BigDaddy1974]

How many times did Yelich K looking with RISP? Twice in two days. He just looks lost at the plate.

[Eye Black]

It appears like Narvaez stabs at the ball a lot while receiving. Then I turn to his Baseball Savant page with his 2020 percentile rankings...

 

 

...that doesn’t seem right.

That’s more Woodruff not hitting his spots to be honest. You aren’t going to get good framing by your catchers if you are 3 feet off where you were suppose to throw it.

[TURBO]

I hope we have a better plan going in to next season at 1B and 3B...

 

Smoak and Morrison are not impressive................................at all.

[TURBO]

...and what a downgrade Narvaez is at the catcher position. He has shown nothing for being known as an offensive catcher.

[homer]

I like that the Brewers have four players hitting below .100

[folly412]

Given our first base situation, perhaps we should not have forsaken Jesus.

One problem is there really aren’t many suitable corner infield options on the free agent market this year beyond maybe Justin Turner. If they make a significant upgrade it will likely need to be via trade.

Bring Back Bob Hamelin!

[markedman5]

That’s why Garcia is in center......

[BruisedCrew]

Another routine night at the office for the Brewers dynamic offense. 1 hit and 5 Ks. Could a team be duller?
