2021-05-24: Padres (Snell) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 5-3 -- Woodruff dominates over 7.0 IP and lowers season ERA to 1.41; Padres rally in 9th falls short]

[MrTPlush]

I remember when the large majority of people were skeptical Woodruff would ever put it together to be a true dominant Ace. He is looking the part these days.

 

He is pushing 3 WAR and it isn’t even June.

I recently asked a former MLB pitcher that I played softball with if lack of run support creeps in your head and he said that it does. I can only imagine Woody had to feel awesome having a big lead.

As Fred durst once screamed, “you gotta have faith!”

[magnoliacrew]

Of course JBJ grounds into a double play. The only thing that would have been more logical was a strikeout.

[wibadgers23]

It’s really something when you come in with a 1.58 ERA and actually LOWER it. Woodruff has been unbelievable.

Just looked through bis BRef game logs and JBJ has had worse starting seasons than this. Found his way back towards .700OPS. But hes carried a 500OPS through July in a couple. Amazing he could stay in MLB while Broxton can not.

I really don't love going with a guy who can't throw strikes for the 9th in a 5-0 game. Hopefully he has his control today.

[BruisedCrew]

I’ll be impressed if Perdomo can get 3 outs and still have a lead.

 

Edit: I’ll be pleasantly surprised if Perdomo can get one out.

[adambr2]

This pen blows chunks outside of the main two.

[Eye Black]

Right now I’m not sure you can use Perdomo in almost any game situation other than one where your down by 5+ runs late.

[lcbj68c]

I dont even know why Perdomo has a roster spot,let alone pitching in a 3 run game.

[jason21nl]

And here we go

[reillymcshane]

Not-so-bold prediction of the day: Perdomo gets demoted before tomorrow's game.

[adambr2]

Perdomo will get em next time. It'll be in Nashville, though.

[BruisedCrew]

Perdomo’s assignment must have been to set up a save situation for Hader.

 

Now he has very little cushion with some exceptionally dangerous hitters coming up.

[Sixtofan]

I don’t like it when they cause me stress before bedtime

Not-so-bold prediction of the day: Perdomo gets demoted before tomorrow's game.

 

Think he just went to DFA. Hes now allowed more free passes via walks/HBP than Innings pitched. Nevermind allowing hits.

For who? Yardley? This is the downside to the Adames trade, guys like Perdomo have to pitch because they don’t have anyone else

[adambr2]

If they're contending, they desperately need some bullpen help at the deadline. Probably at least two.

Yardley is in town and to be activated tomorrow. Unfortunately, Lindblom is also on the roster.

Doubt it, they have open spots on the 40 man.

[yourout]

Knew I should have just stayed away.

Soon as I turn it on things go to crap.

I swear I'm the jinx captain of the galaxy.

[BruisedCrew]

I get not wanting to bring in Hader with a 5 run lead. But this isn’t a normal situation considering the opponent and where they were in the batting order. Blow this game and Hader might be sitting the next 3 days with nothing resembling a save situation.

[adambr2]

How obnoxious is it to go 7 scoreless innings and watch your teammates struggle to even keep 5 off the board for the next 2 innings?
