8/30 - Brewers (Woodruff) vs Cubs (Hendricks): 1:20pm, Marquee

[UMFan83]

Wow I literally turned it off for like 5 minutes to work on some work stuff and turned it back on expecting to see the end of the Brewers half of the inning.  Instead there's 2 outs in the Cubs half of the inning lol

[Hunter]

9 pitch inning

[CubinNY]

moving along. Zack inning

[UMFan83]

Woodruff at 68 through 4 IP.  Can we work him one of the next 2 innings and get him out after 6 please?

Edit: is he still on any pitch limits by chance?  This is his 5th start since returning so I'm guessing not.

Really hope we can stop leaving runners on base and in scoring position

[CubinNY]

These Brewers aren't horsefeathers. 

[CubinNY]

horsefeathers you babip Gods

Kyle is pitching a gem.

[CubinNY]

YES! Kyle is the man. 

[CubinNY]

He's going to make a good chunk of change this offseason.

I hope he makes exactly $16,000,000 for 1 season.  Though I know others disagree

[CubinNY]

yuck. 

 

[UMFan83]

Cubs offense is going to drool at the thought of going to GABP and facing the Reds pitching staff after this series

[UMFan83]

This is the nuance I love about baseball.  Hendricks goes down 3-1 to the opening hitter of the 6th, throws an absolutely perfect pitch to nick the bottom right corner of the zone and then induces a popup.  If he walks the leadoff hitter, the inning immediately gets a lot more dangerous, but by a hair he manages to get the out.  

Then he does the exact same thing with Telez except get gets the strikeout this time.

You want the Cubs offense to have more 1-2-3- innings?

[CubinNY]

Kyle has amazing control of his emotions. I could not do it. I know it's cool for guys on the mound to treat every pitch like they're working on an assembly line, but damn.

Yeah we got the lead and the bullpen will finish them off, lets hurry this thing up so I can get another hour of work done before the end of the day.

[CubinNY]

Boog is talking out of his ass right now.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I was hoping to make Woodruff work more there to get to a reliever in the 7th, but now I'm not so sure we won't see Woodruff back out there.

[CubinNY]

Nice change of velocity here. Most MLB guys can handle velocity though, no offense to Tom.

[CubinNY]

Noice inning by Julian!

[UMFan83]

Ugh we're really gonna try to win a 2-1 game after winning a 1-0 game with all runs scored in the 1st inning aren't we? lol

In this environment, it might be the best they can do. 

[CubinNY]

Leiter spiking a couple to throw off the eye level. 

[Hunter]

Come on Leiter. Threw all over the place there.
