What happened: On Foul Territory, the hosts said Brandon Woodruff making the Milwaukee Brewers' World Series roster gives the club a crafty relief option who still commands his pitches with movement. On the show, the Foul Territory hosts said his fastball velocity in a recent simulated outing trailed the rest of the relief corps aside from Robert Gasser, though postseason adrenaline in Milwaukee could add life to his delivery. The hosts also shared Woodruff's media day remarks that he avoided shoulder surgery and relied on mental visualization during his rehab to prepare for high-leverage spots.

Why it matters: The Foul Territory hosts noted that carrying Woodruff brings roster risk because Major League Baseball rules restrict replacing him if his shoulder flares up. The hosts also pointed out that Chad Patrick missed the roster to clear space, while expressing confidence in the coaching staff's bullpen management.

What to watch: With the scheduled World Series opener between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays not started yet, the Foul Territory hosts said they will monitor whether Woodruff is deployed for brief relief stints or called upon early if a starter exits.
