Mitchell will provide a ton of value playing CF in the coming years....Looking forward to seeing how his bat has progressed.

I’m not sure I understand 

But I don’t mind if you want to say something candid & forthright

I’m not a fan of kidney punches

I respect people who speak directly rather than sheepishly 

Yelich has been a major disappointment & has severely underperformed for the past three seasons

My post was fairly clear - I hope he gets hot & helps this free-falling team turn their season around

Should probably take your own advice. 

 

Your passive aggressive victim nonsense is tiring.

Still remember watching him fall to Milwaukee's pick in the 20 draft

I'm not playing victim of any sort. But there's a problem when people are excited over something good happening for the Brewers, and he feels the need to go ahead and put people down for cheering.

For what it’s worth - Sixto Lezcano is one of my all-time favorite Brewers (Top 5) … so at least we have that in common

Might want to let him at least get an at bat before writing him off, haha 

[yourout]

Bush has good velocity but it's straight as a string.

[brewcrewdue80]

Another Yelich HR served on a tee middle in.  Glad he got ahold of it.  When Yeli takes a tough pitch deep I'd get a bit more optimistic. Of course he can take those served on a tee deep in the meantime.

[Brewcrew82]

Bush has a nasty curveball though. Reminds me of Knebel. Wish he would get that fastball up in the zone just a little more to pair with the curve. 

[Ulice Payne]

Putting this one out of reach, now 

[jason21nl]

This is fun but I want to see it happen again tomorrow, then again the next game before I get excited.

Yes it would be nice if the offense did this more than twice a month, but I doubt that will happen. Really they're doing nothing different than they have all year, either hitting home runs or taking advantage of shoddy defense. Maybe the only difference is men are on base tonight when they hit those home runs.

[jjgott]

The Yelich hate is weird. He may not be in the running for the MVP like he used to but he’s still the best hitter on the team.

[Ulice Payne]

Beautiful DP there 

[Ulice Payne]

And there we go.  Brewers win.  Good game 

[HarryDoyle]

Great job by the pitching staff shutting down a much improved Cubs team.

[Austin Tatious]

Hey look, we scored seven runs against cubs relievers with ERA’s over 4 after going scoreless against their starter.  I guess that makes our offense average!

[GoBrewers1982]

Great job Yelich! Keep it going!

I find it weird that you think the hate is weird.  There’s plenty of reasons to be extremely frustrated with the guy.    

[Sixtolezcano]

Add Suter shuts the door on the Cubs. Good game. 3.55 ERA.

Might have to do with the fact that he's one of the truly great guys in the game. Yes, his lack of power has been frustrating and his error last week in extras was just awful, but he still gets on base really well, which this team really needs. Of course, just a little more power would go a long ways for everyone. 

[The stache]

Woodruff and Peralta pitched 12 innings of shutout ball, and neither got a decision.

Our starters deserve so much better. 

[yfinn6]

Every time Yelich has a good game, I think, "maybe this will be the game" which is now evolved into "maybe this is the game the Brewers needed to get going". 

Winning feels good. Winning consecutively feels great, and winning series is what this team has to do right now. RIGHT NOW.
