Brewers' Randy Wolf throws the Cubs out - MLB News
The Milwaukee Brewers starter Randy Wolf threw 4 innings on Wednesday, March 14, against the Chicago Cubs, enunciating his return on the mound. Commanding as his presence was, the player did give up 2 runs which – however, did not have much of worrying impact.
Wolf came in this game against the Chicago Cubs with having a good record in the Cactus League, going for over 4 scoreless innings. Wolf did give up 2 runs, but he seemed content with the result of the game whereby the Brewers won a wonderful 10-2 victory, even though the fourth inning was a big costly.
"I don't wanna do that," Wolf said. "No. It's the kiss of death. You wanna get some runs out of the way. "
Randy Wolf’s performance on Wednesday seems to have sent a good signal for the club’s defence. The Brewers have some of the accomplished hitters at the disposal. It is pitching that they are currently focusing.
That is where Wolf clicked in the game against the Chicago Cubs which was indeed being seen closely by the team manager. Ron Roenicke also appeared to be satisfied with the performance that Wolf exhibited, terming it an encouraging sign to see the player in good rhythm.
"His pitches, really located them well," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "His speeds were great -- slow curveballs, threw some nice cutters, real nice. I'm seeing really good rhythm. I have in all of his outings so far, so it's very encouraging."
Compared to Travis Wood of the Chicago Cubs who gave up no less than 6 runs in Wednesday’s game, Wolf had a blistering pitching spell, rendering the Cubs’ hitters almost unable to make any considerable gains.
Wolf’s performance on Wednesday does also go on to show that the player will be an asset for the Brewers. With other effective and forceful starters available to the team, Wolf will be an invaluable addition, turning the team into a strong side when it comes to defence. It is to be seen now how Wolf keeps up the same performance in the upcoming regular season.
