Woodruff does not have his best stuff tonight. Leadoff walks often will hurt you.

 

Glad we’re not in the East and have to deal with that Braves lineup 20 times a year. But yeah, him and Burnes both struggled.

 

For sure. The Braves lineup is loaded.

How cool is it that you say this on a guy who has 53strikes in 73 pitches and giving up on 1 run in 4IP? If the offense here could just stop watching strikes go by with runners on, and score some runs you'd shrug your shoulders.

 

OK cool, they let a pitch hit them while we avoid 3 that would have.

Don't get me wrong, Woodruff's "not best" stuff is still better than most guys best.

Defense matters. I love a good hitting the cut play and getting an out at home. Great stuff.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

I hate hacking 3-0. If you're going to do it you has better make better contact than that.

 

While Woodruff is a nice hitter for a P, he is still pretty bad, and there already are 2 outs. That is the exact time an 8 hitter needs to hack on 3-0. Especially since Pina has been seeing it well lately.

 

EDIT: If a PH is a foregone conclusion, then, sure, take on 3-0. It wasn't though.
