That RF. Lord, he just choked big time.

Looked like he pulled a muscle going after it.

I’m admittedly one of the most soon & gloom posters on this forum during games, but this post may win the prize as the most Eeyore of them all 

I haven’t participated in many IGTs the last few years as I refused to buy cable…but usually when I say this it is either praying for a jinx or a stab at the perpetual eeyores. 
 

Unless it is September. Then I am probably a true eeyore when they suck. Also, you must be pretty new. Because we have had some magnificent Debbie downers over the years that call games over in the first three innings constantly.

He never ran hard and then just decided to…do…nothing. Pretty poor defense.

Braunie still hasn't had his number retired...

They will. Pretty clear sign as no one has worn it since he retired.

I was pondering when, I don’t know usually when teams like to do it.

Regardless of his PED issue, he 110% should have his number retired. One of the best and longest tenured Brewers we have and will ever have the way baseball is these days.

Charlie Moore is more deserving of having #22 retired than Yelich.

My 2nd favorite Brewers player after Yount

[Joseph Zarr]

Come on, baby. Just bring it home. I need a Dub before heading to the Nashville kick-off.

[Brewcrew82]

Good stuff Bush. Would be nice if he could keep the HRs under control and lock down the 8th...

Really like the back-and-forth there between he and Contreras. Curve was particularly nasty today. Great first outing. All contact was from lunging bats. You love to see it in a first outing.

[Joseph Zarr]

Rowdy has had a real nice start to 2023. Yikes. 

[adambr2]

It amazes me that in MLB, which heavily favors large market teams, teams with huge markets and deep pockets like the Angels and Cubs can stink so often.

Indeed..

[Joseph Zarr]

I really like this Brian Anderson pick-up. I know it's game 2. But given the absurd amount of strikeouts we are seeing across the line-up, this is a player I look at already and think "If he can stay healthy, this could be a really really good player for us in 2023."

He missed a couple of very hittable pitches before the wiff

What is he batting 3rd?

I love Counsell, but he is stubborn when it comes to Yelich

[Brock Beauchamp]

See, what needed to happen was for me to not watch. Left for store at 0-1, come back to 3-1. 

[Joseph Zarr]

I am jonesing for a Turang HR drive to RF. When he gets that smooth stroke turning it is so pretty. Patiently waiting for his first.

[yourout]

I'll be shocked if at some point they don't modify Taurangs front foot lift.

 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Ow. 

[Matthew Trueblood]

Please be ok. Like, unaffected ok, not just stay in the game ok.

[adambr2]

Why do I even watch baseball?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Sure, that was definitely a strike. 

[adambr2]

Two former MVPs dueling to see who has fallen further. 

[Matthew Trueblood]

Thank god it's so damned hard to call a screwball.

[adambr2]

I know Devin got a gift on that call, but my God are Cub fans ever obnoxious. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Ballgame and it ain’t even four o’clock yet.

KRods cousin.
