Cueto feeling “under the weather”.

Wood tested positive for the ‘vid and is symptomatic. He has been added to the IL. I haven’t heard the corresponding roster move.

Brebbia and Vosler.

Are you certain about Cueto? Last I heard he was not Covid positive, and there was still a possibility he could start tomorrow.

Hes on the IL...officially they can't say "COVID IL" without his permission. But yes, he's "under the weather." MY guess is he got his booster.

I updated the “Current Roster” based on the BBTR post. If that changes, I can always update the page…

Looks like Alvarez isn't the best option for an opener.

Oh well, at least Burnes is throwing a no-hitter perfect game.

 

[tzill]

Yeah, this is gonna be one of the 60. Alvarez was shitty and we can't hit this guy. To be fair, nobody really hits this guy. Well played, Lumber -- way to refuse the vax. What an asshole. Glad he WON'T be on the team next year.

Get em tomorrow.

How do you know he refused the vaccine?

 

[LHG]

Well, no no-hitter for Burnes but he's still got the shutout.

 

[LHG]

I didn't know Garcia could do long relief. He pitched well. Not sure why Littell with 2 outs in the 6th inning though. He almost made that inning look bad.

Great pitching today from us, Uber great from Milwaukee

They may be the team to beat in the NL. Pitching pitching pitching in the playoffs

 

[msgkings322]

Signs of life!

Then Yaz, Dick and Ruf had to pretend it was 2018.

That's a rough yazdick

Meanwhile, the normally reliable Leone gives the run right back to the Brewers.

 

[LHG]

Now we have to score 2 runs off the best closer in baseball just to tie the game.
