Brewers (Woodruff) vs Diamondbacks (Kelly): 7/4/26, 8:40pm

[edfunderburk]

Watching the last two weeks, I can’t reconcile our 54-32 record. We don’t look or play like a team sporting the second best record in MLB. 

It’s sad to see both Yelich & Woody being a far less dynamic version of themselves at a time when we need their best. 

It’s even more sad to accept that neither is likely to return to the players we remember from previous years. 

Saddest of all is the fact that they account for nearly $50M of our “small market” payroll.

Nice bounce back inning from Woody there 💪

[RobertCrawley]

Much better inning for Woodruff. Stayed away from the meat of the plate.

Woodruff looked very good in his last outing, as I recall.

His stats were really good. His location was excellent. His “stuff” was not great.

Now spin something positive for Yelich 😊

He drew an intentional walk last night.

Nice rip by Ortiz. Now let’s see what Turang can do and try to predict which side of the infield that Yelich will feebly ground out to.

Can’t. His numbers are sinking like a stone. 

[RobertCrawley]

Is Yeli due or what

[yfinn6]

Yeli remains due. 

[HarryDoyle]

At least it was a productive out.

He’s always due for another weak grounder.

[Simba2020]

Can you use a designated hitter for the designated hitter?

That's why he gets paid the big bucks.

When Bauers pitches, they can use the Ohtani rule 

[Bulldogboy]

Bauers not the guy we need up with risp.

[adambr2]

My dude Jake, you are batting 3rd in the lineup and you have two runners in scoring position with 2 out. Don’t get caught guessing with 2 strikes. Come on, man.

[yourout]

And the RISP struggles continue

[wiguy94]

How long do you think we have to wait until Yelich is dropped to the bottom half of the order? Dude just whiffed on a 94mph FB right down the middle and hit another weak grounder.
