All Things Yuni

[hawing]

The Brewers have fared well overall against Chacin. Braun, though, has been owned. 0-6 with 3 K's.

I've got it. MLB encouraged COL to make Chacin the starter *specifically* to make Ryan Braun look bad. Yeah, that's it.

From what I'm seeing, this is representative of a lot of Brewers fans the last two days.

I'll always remember that monthlong stretch in July-August where Yuni had like a .950 OPS and getting my hopes up, only to watch him stink it up for the rest of the year. Sigh.

This makes perfect sense. How can Gonzalez backup short when he's our starting 1B? I know, I know, a traditional GM would have actually plugged the real whole and got a 1B to replace Hart and had Gonzalez be the backup MI. However, Doug once again shows us how he is that dynamic out of the box thinker by leaving the stinker at 1B and getting a wanker to backup the infield. Really unique, what other GM would be so *innovative*....

It seems like Melvin is just going out of his way to make internet message boards go ballistic

 

"There are freaks who... Get off on this stuff. "

[trwi7]

Yeah, I don't think anybody is getting off on the Brewers signing Betancourt.

[Baldkin]

At least he can play Third too...

Nice gif's TLB and DLK9 ... we should make a contest on who can find the best gif to go with the statement of "Brewers sign Yuni B to a Major League contract"

 

Borrowed from dlk9s after finding out Jennings signed in Minnesota.

I'm anxious to see Yuni B lift that big fat first pitch. His pop ups are beautiful. Usually on the first pitch too. I'll never forget it.

[Bombers]

Yuni has never faced Chacin.

I think you meant Yuni B has never faced Chacin but is somehow 0-3 with 3 first pitch pop up outs

 

And great gifs everyone - this thread is hysterical

In all seriousness, it boils down to Yuni B vs. Donnie Muprhy and who would be better until Hart returns. Both choices stink but once Hart returns, they both would've been DFA'd.

As soon as I saw this today, I cracked a huge smile and started the thread. I may mail Doug Melvin a Thank You card on this one, he could've signed any guy to fill a bench spot for a while, but he chose THIS guy...simply wonderful.

 

I wonder who's coming in tomorrow....

This pretty much sums up how I feel about Doug Melvin right now:

 

 

 

Can someone please post the clip of Yuni softly jogging at a ball hit up the middle from the NLCS.

[PrinceFielderx1]

"I was a little surprised they didn't keep him," said Melvin. "People who saw him said he was playing well."

 

I'm still trying to figure out if he's being serious or if this is typical GM Doug Melvin talk.

We will probably be welcoming Billy Hall or Russell Branyan back tomorrow...

At least those guys were likable.
