2021-04-25: Brewers (Woodruff) at Cubs (Arrieta) [Brewers win, 6-0 -- Woodruff throws 6 scoreless innings; offense plates 5 runs in the 9th]

[BuckyBrewer61]

2nd worst team OPS in the NL coming into the game (tied with Pitt).

 

So many black holes in the lineup. Imagine if we could pair some batters with this pitching staff.

[Eye Black]

Speaking of the Dodgers, if I did the math correctly this is how the Brewers-Dodgers series probable pitching matchups are currently projected (obviously it’s subject to change)...

 

Thursday: Freddy Peralta vs. Trevor Bauer

 

Friday: Brandon Woodruff vs. Dustin May

 

Saturday: Corbin Burnes vs. Julio Urias

 

Sunday: Adrian Houser vs. Walker Buehler

Our lineups have really looked ugly the last couple of weeks. I envy the lineup of every team we play.

 

Hoerner has really been a pain this series, we needed that quick low pitch inning here.

[brewers888]

Taylor needs to play nearly every day while Yelich is out.

[Eye Black]

Start off an inning with a walk in front of the meat of the order, you're just asking for trouble.

Cubs now asking for trouble!

 

 

Edit...

They certainly are. Now Baez asking for more.

[TURBO]

Lepay, STOP using "pay-off pitch" as your only thing you can think of saying when the count is full.

 

I freaking can't stand hearing it anymore.

[adambr2]

The early season Shaw honeymoon is definitely long over.

[jason21nl]

I have absolutely no faith they’re going to score here

[adambr2]

Shaw and Hiura should probably not bad next to each other in the order.

[TURBO]

Shaw needs a day off.

 

Hiura realy needs to check that upper cut nonsense.

[Eye Black]

This would be an ideal time for Billy McKinney to get a good swing on one.

[OldHeidelberg]

Pretty pathetic that we cringe with our 4 and 5 hitters coming up with 2 on no outs and they don't disappoint.

[jjfanec]

So far we had 4 at bats with the bases loaded in the first and then 2 at bats with runners at 2 and 3 and have scored 1 run on a walk.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Shaw probably could use a day or two off. But there’s not much to replace him with on the current roster.

 

As for Hiura, there should be a trip to the minors in the near future.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Hiura is not currently an MLB player. A lot of people seem to think they need to ride it out and let him work through it at the MLB level. I am not one of those people.

[phnxcrew]

I’m really not sure how Haines has a job. This is getting beyond ridiculous

[Eye Black]

I guess the “good news” is that’s the end of Arrieta’s day.

 

What a disappointing inning for the Brewers. I don’t think one run is going to get the job done today.

[adambr2]

Freaking inexcusable. That's twice now today.

[jason21nl]

Good thing the Brewers have good starting pitching.

[jjfanec]

Unreal. 3 straight strikeouts. Arrieta isnt even a big strikeout guy.

[adambr2]

No matter how much the names on the backs of the jerseys change over the years, the Brewers always strikeout with the best of them.

No, we know Woody isn't going to be allowed 100 pitches and that means 3 innings of our bullpen that has already been worked pretty hard yesterday.

[roadcrew3]

For as maddening as this offense is, they do seem to do just enough to win games. Not sure if that’s glass half full or half empty...either way they make you wanna drink.

[adambr2]

McKinney has quietly crashed back down to earth. I know we've had injuries, but he isn't someone that belongs in the everyday lineup this much.
