I thought that was gone off the bat...

105 EV with a 27 degree launch angle. That's pretty much how you want to hit it. Just the tiniest bit more carry needed.

Can report from the park: wind is blowing in from left center. Probably cost us two runs there.

Yelich scorched that ball. Like yesterday with Durbin’s deep fly ball to the warning track, that ball would have been a HR last year. Apparently, according to an article I read last week, fly balls travel 4’ shorter on average this year. 

[RWeeksFan23]

The 1-0 pitch and 2-1 pitch were both strikes...

Kind of half focused on the soccer game right now, but it really is hard to see how these Marlins don't have a few more wins. Seems like a very competitive roster.

I’m a lifelong sports fan … but I’ve never watched a soccer match - live or on TV. I wasn’t even aware that “a” soccer match was being played today … much less “the” soccer match. I assume it is a big deal - but I’m clueless. 
 

Same applies to hockey - although I did go to one professional hockey game when I lived in Houston many years ago. I’m not interested in either sport.

I didn’t let my kids play soccer or hockey … only baseball, football, basketball, tennis, & golf. 🤓

I love the original Bock “M” caps the Brewers are wearing in this series. Unfortunately, we are playing like the 1970 Milwaukee team.
 

We need a win today before the Cubs series. 

[edfunderburk]

That was a great defensive play by Yelich! He has good instincts in LF … his issue has always been a weak arm defensively.

Joey’s .575 OPS just is not going to continue to cut it in the everyday lineup.

[82brewcrew82]

Amazing how everyone gets hot and cold on offense at the same time.

[Underachiever]

Haase with some wheels!

[treego14]

20-game hit streak now for Jackson Chourio!

This kid is special!

This is indeed fascinating & true. Here’s hoping we begin a hot streak today as we prepare for the Cubs series. 

[adambr2]

Every time we muster any sort of offensive rally in this series, we give it right back in the next inning.

[82brewcrew82]

Marlins just toying with the Brewers letting them get ahead or tied.

Yeah it's been a real problem. The times Joey has looked competent is when the Brewers were winning 2 out of 3, etc. No one else is really hitting except Jackson.

What a disappointing series for the Brewers

They aren’t as good as their record 

They can’t afford to lose numerous games to under .500 teams & expect to be competitive in the playoffs 

You would never know this team is in first place by watching this series or their last against Miami

Yeah, the Marlins have been tough on us this year, winning the Miami series notwithstanding.

This definitely feels like a big game. I'm just trying to balance myself out a little bit because I still the Cubs are the favorites in the division, and I expect it to be quite tough to win the division and get the bye. Obviously, I'd rather win the division than be a wild card team, but it doesn't matter TOO much if we're even the fifth or sixth seed versus the third. I think homefield is overrated and maybe even a pressure-adder, even though the revenue obviously helps.

I swear the Brewers lead all of baseball with weak popups.

[Bulldogboy]

Matt Arnold please pick up the courtesy phone there is a call for you to trade someone for something.

I mean, you could go back 3 games earlier to have watched them win 12 of 13 that included 6 against the dodgers.  No team is going to win at a 0.800+ clip forever.

If the Brewers win today they split the season series against the marlins, who have been playing well for a prolonged time now.

Would be great to win today leading up to their next series, for sure....Lotta game left

Better than doubleplays and tripleplays!

Losing 4 out of 5 after the streak is giving back a lot of ground.
