Kyle Lobner with the stat of the day!

The Brewers only had one game all of last season where they scored at least nine runs without a homer. They also only had one in 2021. 

So does that stat get ruined if someone goes deep after getting the first 9 runs?

I wonder if @Brock Beauchamp felt like he was watching early 2000’s Twin teams that last inning for the Brewers lol.  

The Piranhas get on base. Followed by bloop hit after bloop hit. 

Oh yeah, that inning was piranha-riffic.

[ELCABALLO45]

Don’t wanna jinx this but Guerra’s control right now is the kind that could let the Cubs back into this. 

[BruisedCrew]

Gotta love relievers who come in with a comfortable leading immediately start walking hitters.

[HarryDoyle]

Just pull Guerra now.

[ELCABALLO45]

This is bad 

[HarryDoyle]

That was too close for comfort!

[DesertBrews]

Get this guy outta here

[HarryDoyle]

Don't screw around, CC. Pull him now!

[Nola Beery]

This is getting very foofy. Get an out already!

 

[umphrey]

Cubs fans are going to run bellinger out of town by May. Can’t believe they opened with him at cleanup. 

[Brewcrew82]

Okay. That could've been a lot worse. Still tantalizing stuff with Guerra throwing 100 MPH with that sweeping slider. Needs to learn to locate consistently. 

[YelichPosse]

I enjoy Brice Turang. All around may be fun to watch.

Absolutely. He was a little bit wild but that ump also kind of screwed him on a few borderline heaters. That tailing movement has to be hard to track for umps as well.

It would for today … but not 2021 & 2022 🤓

[HarryDoyle]

Nice entertaining game.

[HarveysWBs]

Series win and the first winning streak of the year. Let’s go!

[jason21nl]

Gotta love a series win vs the Cubs.  
 

As much as it sucks that they got Swanson it pure joy they’re going to have to suffer with Bellinger

Series win on the road with no homers in three games … impressive 

[Joseph Zarr]

Hey, a season opening Series win at Chicago to kick off 2023? I'll take it!

So we have an official stat … it took all of three games to match what we only did once in each of the past two years 

[BruisedCrew]

It’s going to take a little while with all the new faces in the bullpen to sort out which of the relievers can be trusted to throw strikes and get outs. 

[folly412]

I daresay Varland will be a better Rule 5 pick than Wei-Chung Wang.  

[wallus]

The Cubs are not good.

[Nola Beery]

"Exit velocity / barelling" is all fine. But hitting it where they ain't  is better.
