Brewers (Lauer) vs Cubs (Taillon) - 04/02/23, 1:20pm

I rather like all of this, especially the newbs playing some serious ball. woot!

[ELCABALLO45]

We just BABIP’d them to death.

Thats what happens when you make contact and put the ball into play. Especially with larger bases and less shifting

scoring bunches of runs without home runs involved is just fun to watch.

i would also like to say that i love home runs.

I cannot love this sentiment enough.

Bold IGT prediction we will talk about the Brewers record after calling up Weimer the way we talked about the team record after trading for Adames.

[ELCABALLO45]

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. 

[HarveysWBs]

Wait, I was told the Brewers only score with home runs.  What’s this new strategy?

[SeaBass]

This Matt Arnold guy is a genius.

This wave of young players coming up reminds me of the Fielder, Weeks, Hardy, Hart, Braun days. Maybe not quite the power of those guys but those were exciting times. I'm more than on board for that feeling again.

And perhaps the best of them all has yet to arrive...

Best hitter for sure

That was the Braun in my equation, the guy that comes up a little after. 😀

[edfunderburk]

These rookies are exciting - all three position players are lightning fast

Rank the speed on the Brewers team top to bottom (or top six)

Mitchell, Turang, Wiemer, Yelich ???

Where does (will) Frelick fall once he joins this team

Okay - you got me … Chourio > Frelick … 

What a future!

[Brewcrew82]

Maybe they'll be able to trade Tyrone Taylor for a reliever by the deadline? Would only do that, though, if the young guys have clearly established themselves..

[Joseph Zarr]

Boy that Wrigley Ivy sure looks beautiful in late spring. Whewwwww. Who barfed on that there brick wall?!?

Barf is great fertilizer.

[Brewcrew82]

Yelich really striking the ball...and Elevating it!!!

[edfunderburk]

When is the last time the Brewers had 10 singles in a game?

Today, they have 10 + two doubles & a triple

[ELCABALLO45]

Yelich has been smoking the ball early in the season. Good sign. 

[ELCABALLO45]

Most years when the bottom of the order comes to the plate you kinda just go meh. 
 

This year when the bottom of the order comes up… “Lets watch these kids. This is exciting”.

That’s my fav part about them being at the bottom of the order. 

[Brewcrew82]

Pitching, defense, and contact...That's a winning recipe

[ELCABALLO45]

Well so much for the bullpen going all year without giving up a run 

[edfunderburk]

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.
