2020-09-16, Game 1: Cardinals (Wainwright) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[adambr2]

Big out. Got to get through this half inning no worse than tied.

[folly412]

Consistently a huge delay between Narvaez setting up and Woodruff throwing considering there's a runner on second that could signal location. Woodruff hitting it everytime also suggests none of the deception that Pina often uses.

[Eye Black]

All things considered I’ll take it. Would be great to see a quick answer from the offense.

[BruisedCrew]

Peterson can be removed from the roster any time now.

[brewers888]

What does Counsell see in this guy.

[Eye Black]

Jace Peterson at third base costs them to start the 5th. That was a bit predictable, unfortunately.

[TURBO]

Why in the hell is Peterson starting in games that are needed to possibly go to the playoffs?

 

This is more than ridiculous.

[yourout]

What the heck was that.

[brewers888]

I would have rather kept Smoak and had Gyorko play third every day than play Peterson.

[brewers888]

How do they let the runner go to third on that

[jason21nl]

That’s good base running but a terrible play. No need to rush the throw.

[brewers888]

Terrible 0-2 pitch

[yourout]

That was truly an awful O-2 pitch.

Wrong pitch and wrong location.

[Brewcrewin07]

One thing is clear to me, Brandon Woodruff is NOT a #1 starter. His inconsistencies are so maddening. He will be cruising, and then at times inexplicably struggles in the middle of an outing.

[RollieTime]

Jace Baez! Gross, did I just say that?

[brewers888]

Jace Baez! Gross, did I just say that?

 

It doesn't make up for his error or the fact that he can't hit.

[TURBO]

Major League Baseball has suspended Cardinals manager Mike Shildt one game as a result of his actions during Tuesday's benches-clearing incident versus the Brewers.

 

Yadier Molina committed catcher's interference in the fifth inning when Ryan Braun's swing caught his left wrist. While Shildt was out checking on him, he heard something from the Brewers' dugout that he didn't like and tempers briefly flared, although things quickly calmed down. Shildt will serve the suspension in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

So the Dodgers are probably going to play the second place team in the playoffs. That should be a quick and easy win for the Dodgers.

[brewers888]

We have one hit since the first inning. The bats have shockingly gone dead again.

[yourout]

Brewers have to be among the worst in baseball at spoiling pitches.

[Eye Black]

I try not to complain about every little move I don’t agree with, but the Jace Peterson thing is just completely perplexing to me.

[brewers888]

DeJong has no range at all. That looked Yuniesque.

[brewers888]

Come on Yelich big spot here

[brewers888]

So much for that

[BruisedCrew]

When the Brewers got the two runs in the first I was hoping that (1) Woodruff would have a strong performance against a team that has had trouble scoring and/or (2) the Brewers would add on a few runs.

 

Doesn’t look like either of those is happening.
