Game Thread (4/9/2022): Brewers (Woodruff) at Cubs (Steele) - 1:20 PM CDT

[yourout]

Feels like it's going to be a rough start to the season.

Spring training pitching woes are showing no signs of fading.

Hope they get things turned around in/by May.

Let’s see how our new guy does on his debut. I bet not that great.

Urias led the team with 23 HRs last year so we aren't exactly loaded with power bats or really good hitters in any aspect.

Avi hit 29 last season. Adames hit 25 (20 as a Brewer).

that was an easy call.

Urea ... are u rea -l?

[brewers888]

Urena can go after this game ends.

[Eye Black]

Certainly not a lot of positives to take away from today’s performance thus far, but I guess at least they removed the drama early. 

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Out of all the early season predictions, there is no way "Brewers won't be able to throw strikes" would be high on the list of probabilities. But here we are.

Fogot about Garcia but either way this isn't a powerful lineup.

[treego14]

Chris Hook is going to lose his mind, soon!

Let’s see if he gives up a grand slam yet…

[Joseph Zarr]

Ureña looks great. LOL.

[yourout]

That's enough for today.

[markedman5]

Urena  looks good…..

[yfinn6]

I hate this team.

Counsell threw in the towel after the first inning. 
 

Thank goodness for yesterday’s postponement. This pitching staff is not ready for the season and at least a 3 game sweep by the Cubs isn’t as bad as a 4 game sweep. 
 

Maybe by the end of May they’ll be ready. 

[treego14]

Good times for Cubs fans ... I am happy for them ... NOT!

[mtrebs]

Might as well cut Ureña at this point.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

So ... maybe not a great idea to sign a guy off the scrap heap who had no Spring Training, and immediately add him to the ML squad and throw him in Game 2 of the season? 

[ecjimg]

No idea why they signed this guy.  Did they see what hes done the last couple of seasons?

Why put him on the roster right away?

[adambr2]

Urena sure looks like a hidden gem. 

[umphrey]

Is this the worst collective pitching performance I have ever seen?

[Joseph Zarr]

This being said, this ump is classically giving nothing near the corners. Come on, mahnnnn.

I don’t want to bellyache but IGT is lacking on new platform. Quoting is glitchy or I’m an idiot on slow mobile. Not even trying to quote dragonbait above but there we are. 

[yfinn6]

Ump is terrible. If that was a grand slam I think I would have thrown my computer.
