Send me to the moon Christian

I see Yelich is regressing to his mean.

another inspiring at bat for Christian. Just cannot continue to throw him out there in the 3 hole. Move him down to the 5 spot and bump anyone else up.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why Counsell KEEPS putting yelich 3rd.  The guy's able to take walks and slap some base hits here and there, but that's about it.  If he hits 8 - 10 homers this year, I'll be surprised at this point.  Hit him leadoff, or hit him 6th or 7th.

Only $164M left to pay Yelich. 

Meanwhile Hader and the starting pitching probably walk because you know finances.

Really nice inning for Jake

The offense has started out struggling.  Aside from getting rid of Bradley, who was one of the worst performers in MLB history, and basically swapping Renfroe in for Garcia, the offense is pretty much the same as last year, which was overall around a league average offense.  It's not "horrid".  It's struggling right now, which is frustrating to watch.  

Okay … I will adjust my view to their offense is horrid “right now” & hopefully will improve

BTW - just for fun, early this morning, I looked at stats for Garcia & Bradley in comparison to Renfroe … oddly enough, Renfroe was hitting .212, Garcia .202, & Bradley .190 to start the day

Yankees appear to be fed up with Joey Gallo. he's been terrible. How bout Yelich for him?? Who says no??

I think that is pretty much a given at this point.

I would expect we trade Burnes, Woodruff, and Hader in their contract years.

I got news for you. Hader and Burnes aren’t going to see free agency on Stearns’ watch.  In the likely event they aren’t locked up with longer deals, they will be dealt for considerable value.

Yankees unless you are paying about 30% of Yelich’s salary.

Probably the Yankees, as Gallo is only signed through this year.

One can only dream … but I can’t imagine the Yankees would do that deal 

Yelich is such a “good guy” - but I would make this trade in a heartbeat

Maybe a change of scenery would benefit each player

They need a closer so maybe expand the deal and give them Hader as a sweetener to take the money and get back another piece?? I get that he's worth a ton but just how much more than getting that money off the books?? 

[bulldogboy0733]

It's wild the difference in shape between Cutch and Cain and they aren't too far apart in age. 

[magnoliacrew]

Is this the game we break the 5 run barrier?

[homer]

102mph is fast

[NBBrewFan]

Hicks must have some weird delivery that he can strike out LH hitters and give up singles and walks to RH hitters.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I honestly don't know why pitchers aren't just jamming fastballs right down the middle at Yelich until he proves he can actually hit anything with something resembling authority.  

[AKCheesehead]

Cutch really scalded a couple today. 

[Eye Black]

So who had Omar Narvaez receiving the first intentional walk this season?

[DuWayne Steurer]

2nd and 3rd nobody out followed by 2 strikeouts.  Gotta be better than that when the offense has been having trouble putting runs on the board. 

[homer]

Very clutch, Tyrone!

[igor67]

Taylor!

[folly412]

Badger Mutual Insurance Runs! ?

[HarryDoyle]

Hey, we broke five runs!!!
