Royals (Lyles) vs Brewers (Rea): 5/14/23, 1:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins are absolutely destroying the Cubs for the second straight day.

And who is we, Brian?

Not sure. Junk maybe? I was hoping Uribe in Biloxi but it appears the Brewers are using him in a strict one inning role.

But he should be an option at some point this season.  

I thought I was an optimistic guy, but then I saw a dude at the game last night with a Junk jersey on. That’s an optimist!

Brian probably won't be around for at least half the summer. There's gotta be some Tiddly Wink championships being broadcast on The Ocho.

[HarryDoyle]

Lauer looks much stronger coming out of the pen. Granted it's his first relief appearance and against the Royals but still.

[Underachiever]

Oh, Lauer. You rascal!

Fresh bullpen going into St. Louis. Rea and Lauer should just tag team every five days.

[Nola Beery]

Can we just get 3 outs now?

 

[Underachiever]

Yelich had a .695 OPS after the game on Friday. It’s .771 two games later

 

[Nola Beery]

Woot. We win! Woot.

That sweep was the absolute minimum we needed since we’ve been playing so bad against poor teams.    Now we got a pretty rough stretch.    
 

lauer going 86 pitches and closing the game was a surprise and ,much  needed.    1.5 games in first through the first quarter of the season

I think minimum is a bit far given this is baseball but it does certainly build some momentum

Cards series will be very interesting, and can't wait to see how they do with the rays given the best starters all feature against the cards

 

[willie key]

Seems like we always win on Mother’s Day going back to the bill hall days

That's impressively efficient to score 9 runs and leave 0 men on base.

Sequencing coach deserves a raise for that performance

You can't spell L A U E R without R E A.  🤷‍♀️

To answer a question from early in the thread, the internet suggests that Alecia Yelich is 54 (turning 55 in September).  So she would have been 23 when Christian was born.

[RobertCrawley]

Did I miss the Yelich contract discussion?

[brewmann04]

I don’t trust the cards always seem to play us hard no matter what the record is
