Brewers (Cortes) vs Yankees (Fried): 3/29/25, 12:05 pm

[Frisbee Slider]

We last faced Max Fried on 5/18/22 in Milwaukee.

Fried allowed 7 H, 2 BB and 3 ER over 6 IP

Besides that Fried has predictably been effective against the Brewers.

[Frisbee Slider]

Hoskins has .604 career OPS against Fried over 29 AB

Yelich has .440 career OPS against Fried over 17 AB

Thankfully, no one else on the roster has had AB against Fried

[treego14]

Nasty Nestor will make us a Happy Victor!

We will blow the stacks off of Max!

Umps ... don't make us grumps!

[Frisbee Slider]

A closer look against our victory over the Braves on 5/18/22. The damage against Fried came from Tyrone Taylor, Rowdy Tellez and Mike Brosseau. 

This is also the game historians call the ‘Keston Hiura game’’. An 11th inning walk off against RHP Jesse Chavez.

Just like Rodon, Fried is probably not a good matchup for the Brewers.  Looking forward to watching Nestor though.

Royals are throwing LHP Kris Bubic against Milwaukee for home opener. We have not seen him since 2021. 

In his 11.1 IP he has 11 K, 2 hits and no runs allowed against Brewers.
 

Granted, there’s nobody on our roster today that was around back then aside from Yelich.

Need the top of the order to get going today.

Same as opening day, partially expected Chourio to bat ninth. I guess that’s why I’m not a manager

Based on a single game?

[Frisbee Slider]

I suppose I could have put my comment in blue. Trying to get the game thread overreactions into midseason form.

[Frisbee Slider]

I appreciate this AI generated story: Oliver Dunn sitting again. I guess some people conceivably have Dunn on their fantasy rosters.

I’m pretty confident that Chourio will improve on his 0 for 5 platinum sombrero performance on Opening Day 

[Frisbee Slider]

Batting seventh for New York
#31 Pablo Reyes. 

Yankees decided that batting a catcher lead off one time in team history was enough. Austin Wells batting sixth. Trent Grisham batting ninth.

Chourio needs to sit the rest of the series after the horrid 5-strikeout-game!

This kid was overconfident, and got his comeuppance!

He needs to stew for two more days!

Hope Cortes settles in quickly. Even for seasoned pros ... this would be an anxious situation. First game of the season and it is back "home". I can't imagine he doesn't want this in the worst way.

It is always a little anxious to start the year until you get the first win. It would be a great Saturday night if we can take care of that today.

[HarryDoyle]

At least Chourio put it in play. Baby steps.

This baby needs to be on the bench for 2 more days.

[treego14]

That’s right … the Bonus Baby Boys need line drives hit right at them!  Don’t wanna stretch that back pocket wallet too much!

[HarryDoyle]

Goldschmidt, I fart in your general direction.

[treego14]

That was Nasty , Nestor!

[yfinn6]

Yeah I'm about done with this game today. We can't hit worth a damn and our guys give up HRs like it's their damn job. 

[NewerBrewer]

Off to a good start.

[markedman5]

It’s all up from here Nestor!

[edfunderburk]

Cortes to Freddy … hold my beer 🍺
