Game Thread (4/12/2022): Brewers (Lauer) at Orioles (Watkins) - 6:05 PM CDT

[SomewhereInTime]

Good to see Yelich crush one.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Still trying not to get overly excited about Yelich but it’s getting harder. 

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Good ringing double to center by Yelich. Need to see much more of that this season. 

[yourout]

That looked a bit like MVP Yelich.

[BruisedCrew]

There’s Yelich’s first really hard hit ball of the season with any elevation on it.

That’s the type of contact you hope to see from Yeli.

[Eye Black]

When Yelich elevates a ball it’s so aesthetically pleasing. Hope for more of that for 22 in ‘22.

Why would a fielding error by the Pitcher make a run an earned run compared to a fielding error by the LF?

Right. ERA is meant to measure the pitcher as a pitcher, not as a fielder.

Omar is back into swing as hard as humanly possible mode again.

Odd innings are best
For the Crew from Milwaukee
Hope this one goes nine

Slow start this season

Brewers will turn it around

Hitters will find peace

[yourout]

This plate ump has missed a ton of strikes.

"Crew chief" Laz Diaz.

[yourout]

Was thinking trying to get another inning from Cousin could be a mistake.

[nate82]

This umpire is so inconsistent on calling balls and strikes on the low corners.

Personally, I don’t care for retractable roof stadiums so rainouts don’t bother me. Of course, I live in the metro so travel isn’t an issue.

Also, the primary reason the Twins didn’t build a retractable roof is because it literally wouldn’t fit on the footprint of Target Field, which would have meant no downtown stadium. 

I always thought it was more the extra millions of dollars that nixed it.  Architects are smart...I'm sure they could've made it work on the existing footprint... the roof is still on top right? ?

Rainouts aren't so bad.  I just hate "cold" baseball in April and October.  Pitchers can't grip the ball, players with "hoodies", hitters don't hit as well... just a bad look for a summer sport, especially in the playoffs.  The BB seasons seem to get longer and later, too. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yelich is back in aggressive mode so far. I like that.

[yourout]

Holy cow.....2 out 2 strike RBI single

'22: The Summer of Yellich!

[Ulice Payne]

McCutchen Base Hit

Milwaukee takes back the lead

Seventh inning stretch

 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

The Orioles have done some silly things tonight. Not shifting Cain up the middle. Not challenging that Rowdy play at first. Pitching to Cutch.

Makes you appreciate aspects of the Brewers approach.

[mtrebs]

What’s with the “celebration” the Brewers are doing after they get a hit? They drag their finger under their nose. Make me think of a “Dirty Sanchez”…

Both Adames and McCutchen have done it tonight.

[Ulice Payne]

Willie Adames

Timed his leap just perfectly

Boxberger thankful

Allergies or COVID?

Remember when people were upset that we sent two good RPs away for him?  Nah, me neither...

[yourout]

Mullins looks like a pretty solid hitter.
