[Eye Black]

The Diamondbacks have now lost 15 straight road games. Here’s hoping that streak continues for at least a couple more games.

[adambr2]

The Brewers have some strange home/road splits. They are only. 500 at AmFam Field but are 16-11 on the road. Of course that doesn't even compare to the A's (17-17 at home, 17-8 on the road) or the Rays (15-13 home, 21-10 road).

The Brewers are 10 - 3 since the Adames trade.

Luis Urias has an 864 OPS since the Adames trade.

 

Coincidence? Probably

There's something to be said about an infectious personality showing up in a down on their luck clubhouse and raising spirits just enough to give them a boost of optimism. Regardless of Adames' production with his bat he likely had just as much impact emotionally (psychologically?). Not to mention it had to feel good from a player standpoint to see the front office making a major move early in the season to help out, showing they're still invested in winning right now despite their struggles.

Woody settled down nicely after that leadoff HR from Rojas. Let's hope that's it, kinda like Freddy yesterday

[homer]

They made Woody angry. You won't like Woody when he's angry.

[SeaBass]

Really looking forward to the shift with the dude in short RF going away.

Kelly looks like Chris Elliott to me (Schitt's Creek fame.... Something About Mary Scary Movie 2).

It’s always unsettling to see the first batter hit a HR, but it’s especially bad when you wonder if that will be enough to win.

I can't be the only one that remembers him taste testing different brands of dog food on Late Nite with David Letterman.

[wibadgers23]

Just feels like one of those games Woodruff pitches a gem and we lose 2-1.

He’ll always be Larry on Groundhog Day to me.

 

Also Lily’s father and the founder of Aldrin Games on How I Met Your Mother.

Yup and if you're really old or know TV and radio history you will remember his dad Bob who was in the Bob and Ray comedy duo.

1-0 L is what I thought immediately after that HR.

[Eye Black]

I wish they would’ve shown the replay on Adames ball that Joe West called foul. It looked close enough to warrant another look for the viewers.

[homer]

I really hate walking the pitcher.

[CheezWizHed]

Great...as if the umps aren't blind enough already...

[BruisedCrew]

Woodruff was due for a bad outing. Hopefully he can minimize the damage and keep the team in the game, but the pitches are piling up. Probably won’t be going more than 5 today.

[SeaBass]

I wish all our pitchers bad outings looked exactly like this.

[AKCheesehead]

His secondary pitches have been looking pretty good today. Unfortunately, he isn't commanding his fastball at all so far.

[magnoliacrew]

Woodruff breaks up the no-hitter. Would have liked some of the position players to have done that.

[homer]

Could use a nice 9 pitch inning here

[adambr2]

If Hiura is going to be starting twice a week he should be in Nashville. Having him sit on the bench every night isn't doing him or the Brewers any good.
