Looking Ahead
The Milwaukee Brewers open a three-game series against the New York Mets tonight at 7:10 p.m. CT. Jacob Misiorowski (10-4, 1.62 ERA) will get the to start against former Brewer Freddy Peralta (5-8, 4.66 ERA).
Woodruff, accepted a $22.025 million qualifying offer this past winter, is set to become a free agent at the end of the season. Some fans have questioned the financial risk of the initial offer. However, Woodruff remains a popular figure in franchise history. His determination to “attack this rehab” suggests he is not ready to retire.
The Brewers’ rotation is officially on high alert, but the lineup’s flair for the dramatic keeps the momentum high. What do you think?
