Yeah Brian, real vote of confidence that Yelich was able to walk to the ballpark today.

I couldn't walk to the ballpark today. 

 

I'm also about 700 miles away.

JAKE BOMB!

[AKCheesehead]

And the Bauers crowd goes wild :-) I wondered if he'd get a green light there, good call because Keller obviously didn't think they would.  Jake was ready!

[Simba2020]

Bauers locking in his 2026 roster spot.

[markedman5]

Oh look Bauers with another big game……🤔

[edfunderburk]

Why of course - Bauers homers 

2-0 Brewers 

[Bulldogboy]

Undertaker meme for Jake

[Vgmastr]

Bauers is totally batting cleanup in game 1 of the NLDS

[Brian]

Bauers turns into Babe Ruth when he thinks he is about to be cut. 

[baseball101]

I love the 3-0 green light with two outs.

Heard teams are contacting the Brewers already for Rhys Hoskins, 2026 I'm guessing. 

He’s a free agent after this season I believe

Jake can rake,

AND

Vaughn can mow!

Brewers want the Guap for him after only playing 1/2 a season and Vaughn delivers. 

[markedman5]

Pirates looking for 2 strike change ups and getting bottom of the zone fastballs……love it

[AKCheesehead]

Woo had a really nice inning there. Pitch count is in good shape.  How deep can he go and keep putting up zeroes...hopefully a long ways!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I'm glad Bauers is making a numbers argument for his roster spot. I will keep doubting him so maybe he'll keep hitting.

I will also add that every Bauers success makes Siegler less useful.

[Frisbee Slider]

Maybe we just carry three first baseman? I mean, goodness. Hoskins is not the same guy as he was with the Phillies but can we really just hide him in Nashville beyond next week?

[BCF]

Bauers: .207 AVG, .692 OPS

Vaughn: .241 AVG, .691 OPS

Perkins: .198 AVG, .602 OPS

Ortiz: .227 AVG, .597 OPS

I'd keep three over holding onto Seigler.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Strong first five innings for Woodruff. Could use a couple tack-on runs.

And the PIrates can go ahead and clean the leaves out of the eaves troughs for all I care.

Can Hoskins catch a game if Contreras gets injured?

Vaughn.  ,293.   .846 with 9 home runs as a brewer.   40 rbis in 48 games

Woody gets through six. Great bounceback outing. He was fantastic tonight. Also, I don't want Fedde anywhere near the middle of the order.
