2020-08-30: Pirates (Brault) at Brewers (Woodruff) 1:10 PM CDT

We are the only team in the league that can’t get Polanco out.

[Underachiever]

Polanco has eight hits this year. 6 are against Milwaukee

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that "there's a growing sentiment among executives" that Josh Hader is traded.

 

Hader's velocity is down this season and he's coming off a rough outing on Saturday when he walked five batters. However, he still hasn't given up a hit in 2020 and is under team control through 2023. Obviously, it would take a big return in order to convince the Brewers to deal him. The Padres and Dodgers have reportedly touched base with the Brewers about Hader.

Yeah, I don't know which news aggregator site this is from, but it is incorrect and misleading.

 

It's from rotoworld.

C.B. Bucknor is the worst umpire in baseball not named Angel Hernandez.

[yfinn6]

Arcia is so freakin' slow.

[DHonks]

I fully expect this to go against the Brewers. For 3 years now, every time a call looks like it clearly should favor us, it goes against us

[RollieTime]

Nice slide by Arcia. He’s safe.

[markedman5]

Arcia is so freakin' slow.

 

Great slide though

[markedman5]

We can even turn Brault into a strikeout pitcher

[adambr2]

Ughhh Gyorko...that was bases loaded, nobody out.

[brewers888]

Hiura with a big hit.

[markedman5]

Hiura makes contact and gets a hit......more of that please

My goodness Woody

My goodness Woody

 

It makes me sad that he sorta sucks this year.

[BruisedCrew]

Looks like it’s time to pump the brakes on the idea that Woodruff is an ace.

[brewers888]

Woodruff has got a long way to go before he can be considered an ace. The stuff is clearly there and he can be dominant but he is just not consistently as good as he should be.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I need to see the dent in the hood of that toyota

I guess he's always sucked since his numbers this year are basically identical to the last two years.

I wouldn't say he's always sucked as much as he's been inconsistent in the past. You expect that a guy with his kind of stuff eventually finds more consistency. But perhaps this is the guy he'll always be?

[brewers888]

if someone wants to value Woodruff as an ace and give us a monster package I wouldn't be against moving him.

[MrTPlush]

Woodruff came into the game with a 3.19 ERA and a 2.87 FIP.

 

Fangraphs has him as the #11 pitcher in baseball.

 

And before people complain about walks, he had the 22nd lowest walk rate in baseball coming into today.

 

Tough crowd around here.

+1. He is not a top 5 mlb starter but if somebody wants to give you a haul like he is you certainly should think about it.

[MoreTrife]

Wonder if MLB will also sync. From one angle he looked up touch before out...

[BruisedCrew]

This is looking like one that will be too close to overturn. Really hard to tell exactly when the tag was made relative to the foot hitting the plate.
