Game Thread (8/27/2022): Cubs (Smyly) at Brewers (Woodruff) - 6:10 PM CDT

[Brewcrew82]

If there was any doubt whether Woodruff is an ace...Ace performance today. And has been an ace since coming off the IL...

Of course Yelich hits into a double play!

Look at that, they didn't squander a 2 on, nobody out scenario!

Pretty hard to do when the opposing defense hands you those runs on a silver platter.

A quick chart of each game starting with the Sunday game in Boston showing the Brewers runs and his and results would answer this question  

Especially if you disregard runs scored in extra innings courtesy of the free runner, and discount garbage runs scored late in lost games (such as runs scored off of position players pitching). 

Or you could just use FanGraphs and use their splits for August. Hint: I've already done it and they haven't been good. The only positives are hard hit rate, HR, BB% and being unlucky (very low BABIP).

[GoBrewers1982]

Ate my words! It’s about time!

[Brewcrew82]

There ya go Yeli. 

[BruisedCrew]

No bunt needed when you hit HRs. 

[Ulice Payne]

Nice hit, 22

If only Yelich could get hot for the final 40 games of the season 

[HarryDoyle]

Didn't we rough up Wick the last time we saw him?

Blind squirrel meet nut.

See the thing people need to realize is we have a miserable offense against LHP's.  That is not the case against RHP's.

[Nola Beery]

NOT a solo HR. yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Lol. That’s the funniest statement I’ve heard all day.

[Brewcrew82]

Still hits it as hard as anyone in the game. Please elevate the ball like that more often and get hot over the next month.

There was some banter about this after last night’s game, but if I were asked to come up with one word to describe this Brewers team it wouldn't be “entertaining”. 

Missed this before.

I guess I was too busy watching the 4 runs score

Just based upon most of your previous comments.

What is wrong with you. Just let people be excited over a Yelich HR.

Should probably take your own advice.

Not that a win is clinched yet by any means, but a win today means very little without a win tomorrow, and then the next day...Gotta stack up wins at this point.
