2020-09-26: Brewers (Woodruff) at Cardinals (Wainwright) [Brewers win, 3-0 -- Woodruff pitches masterpiece; No Cardinals batter touches second base]

The avatar people in the outfield sort of creep me out.

 

The most unneeded, unwanted thing there is.

Needed an ace performance from Woodruff and got it tonight.

 

Woodruff LOVES the bright lights apparently!

 

(sorry Brew4U, I just couldn't resist!)

 

It’s the start I was hoping for from Burnes. Next year. Next year...!

 

I'm very excited at the prospect of having Woodruff and Burnes at the top of next year's rotation. Need to identify one more starter they can count on, though. I wouldn't mind bringing Anderson back, as he's been solid this year. Lindblom will still be around as well, as will Houser, Peralta and Lauer. Need one of those guys to step up.

108 pitches through 8, is it really that crazy to send him back out with so much on the line?

 

There is absolutely zero chance that would ever happen under any circumstances. That rarely, if ever, happened 10 years ago when long starts were a thing if a no-hitter wasn’t active.

 

EDIT: Except Johnny Cueto...that guys poor arm with the Reds...

1. Woody

2. Burnes

3. Lindblom

 

I think Lauer has to be in the running for one of the spots (otherwise the trade doesn’t make much sense) which would leave one spot open for a FA signing. Hopefully they’ve learned enough about Houser to have him join Hader and Williams in the back end of the pen.

I don't want to see any of those start the year as our #3. We need an actual reliable guy for that role, not an Anderson type, and 100% for sure not Houser, Lindblom, or Lauer. I'd love to see Peralta make strides to fill that role though, but I'd rather see him start out as our #4 or #5 if given the chance.

Woody two, Burnes three. Go get a difference maker at the top.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

I wonder if they would give Suter another shot at starting. Throughout his career he's always been pretty steady.
