Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Brewers fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/0DWS6R\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In this week\u2019s Reacts survey, we asked fans if they think it\u2019s time for Brandon Woodruff to retire. Here are the results:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">As you can see, roughly two-thirds of fans said it\u2019s time for the veteran right-hander to retire. Woodruff, 33, has made just 32 starts over the last four seasons, and he\u2019s spent far more time on the IL than he has on the field. While he\u2019s still an effective starter when healthy \u2014 2.98 ERA and 3.20 FIP this year over 45 1\/3 innings \u2014 the injuries have piled up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The latest news on Woodruff is that he had an MRI in Milwaukee this week, and the news is not good: he has a new injury to his anterior shoulder capsule, the same injury that has caused him issues in recent times. His surgeon, Dr. Keith Mesiter, will provide a second opinion before determining a timeline. It seems very possible that this is the end of Woodruff\u2019s time as a Brewer (and maybe as a major leaguer).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In a bit more positive news, one of this week\u2019s national SB Nations Reacts surveys asked fans about the NL Cy Young race, and Jacob Misiorowski finished on top:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The 24-year-old right-hander garnered 63% of the vote, outpacing Cristopher S\u00e1nchez (yes, his name is misspelled in the graphic) at 14%, Yoshinobu Yamamoto at 12%, and Chris Sale at 11%. Across 18 starts this season, Miz is 10-4 with a league-leading 1.62 ERA, 2.10 FIP, and 167 strikeouts over 111 innings, putting him on pace to surpass 200 innings and potentially 300 strikeouts, something we rarely see in today\u2019s game \u2014 the last pitchers to reach that threshold were Justin Verlander (300) and Gerrit Cole (326) in 2019, and there have been just five total pitchers to hit 300 strikeouts since 2003.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">For what it\u2019s worth, Misiorowski is the heavy favorite on <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/mlb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a>, with -600 odds (bet $600 to win $100), with S\u00e1nchez a distant second at +600 odds (bet $100 to win $600). There\u2019s still plenty of season left, though, so we\u2019ll see what happens over the next two-plus months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB.
