It's getting worrisome that Yelich has been out so long.

I think it'll be mid-May. Hopefully he can get his timing back quickly. Last McCalvy tweet I saw had Yelich saying something about "usually this would be the time I'd rush back, but I've learned not to do that." Or something like that.

I have faith.

If you expected it to be quick I think you had unrealistic expectations. There was just a blurb yesterday that he's started playing long toss and is feeling pretty good, but is taking it slow. That's absolutely the right approach at this point in the year, especially with the team continuing to do well.

[RobertCrawley]

Looks like a good crowd for an early game.

[duewizard]

Colin solid once again.

I know my daughter's school (4th grade) is there.. probably several others as well

[RobertCrawley]

Willy is not sterling over there on the 6 today.

[Team Canada]

Terrific outing by Rea, again.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

So are we actually getting a solid enough sample size to determine that Colin Rea is actually decent? He put up solid back-of-the-rotation type numbers last year, and is following that up with a very solid start to the year this year. In what's been a season of turmoil rotation-wise, he's been a rock so far.

[RobertCrawley]

Sterling bat, tho.

The peripherals are screaming hard regression but he just keeps chugging along.

Peripheral stats don't like him, but man he just keeps producing the results. 

[RobertCrawley]

Wow. Black looks great.

Blue is the new Black.

[dlk9s]

Black looks like he's 42 years old.

[brewerfan82]

Black's got a little bit of a Pete Rose thing going on (on the field), doesn't he? Love it!

[Brewcrew82]

Wouldn't be shocked if Black ends up taking over in the leadoff spot soon.

I mean, Frelick has been...not good. His analytics are bad too.

[RobertCrawley]

Fouled that ball right on the big toe. Ouch.

Hard contact just isn't there. Plate skills haven't been up to snuff either compared to prospect pedigree. 

[RobertCrawley]

Abner is up.

I wonder if maybe we're getting to the point where the pitchers peripherals love are also going to be the ones more likely to get hurt...

I have always liked Rea. The Kyle Hendricks, really solid number 3 starter kind of guys always seem undervalued.
