Yankees (Stroman) vs Brewers (Myers): 4/28/24, 1:10pm

[HarryDoyle]

As soon as Contreras hit that pop up I knew that leadoff triple would be all for naught.

[RobertCrawley]

Keep it going, Tobias!

[Underachiever]

Adames and swinging at sliders out of the zone. Name a more iconic couple. He’s just got to be better than that.

[edfunderburk]

Pathetic 

I’d love to be GM for a day

There would be a few bottom of the roster changes to address the offense 

There may be a few trades of prospects for pitching too

[markedman5]

Contreras is the one that bothers me the most…….he's by far the best hitter…..they are playing back…..swings at the first pitch and jams himself for a pop up.

Neither does Bauers, to the surprise of no one. 

Black with a couple homers today.  Bauers plays nice defense, but his leash has to be getting short.

Had to swing at that one it was too close to take.  With the umpire today that was a strike even if it didn’t look like it.

[markedman5]

I’m liking me some Tobias Myers so far in his big league career……

[duewizard]

Myers with another solid start that will be wasted 

[igor67]

Myers quickly approaching rotation savior status here in start number 2.

Disagree. The first swing prompted my comment; once he got in his typical two-strike hole, the swing at strike three was a foregone conclusion. I hate having him bat 3rd.

[igor67]

A good time for Jackson to make an adjustment.

[yfinn6]

3-1 count and Jackson had a defensive swing. Gah. 

[nate82]

Probably should have swung at the 3-0 pitch.  Best pitch to swing at in that AB.

I hate the 3-0 take it is the dumbest non written rule in baseball.

[yfinn6]

That'll do it. 

[82brewcrew82]

Not so sure i like how hitters attack Myers. .

Swinging at pitches in the middle of the strike zone?

[igor67]

I'm often with you Nate, but on the flipside the pitcher had come close to the plate in 7 pitches and I don't really want my struggling hitter popping up a meatball there. If Yelich or William watch it go by very different story though

You're right.  He just isnt very good.

[folly412]

They were jumping on pitches that inning.  Had a couple of chances to adjust.  A mistake to learn from.

Jake Bauers is our cleanup hitter.  If we're being honest, the first run is the run that did it.

[82brewcrew82]

K then DP to end the inning here?

[edfunderburk]

We’ve been playing & winning beyond our talent for several weeks 

I predict a slide through May & June before a sell off at the trade deadline

Maybe we can acquire some young talented pitching prospects to set us up for another winning stretch starting in 2026

This team doesn’t have enough talent or depth to win in 2024

[82brewcrew82]

Horrible pitch to Adames.

[folly412]

Bauers not ready to be DFA'd just yet!
