Brewers vs Pirates Doubleheader, 7/11/26: Game 1 (Sproat vs Ashcraft, 11:05am) | Game 2 (Drohan vs Chandler, 3:05pm)

I'm doing paper napkin math here but I'm pretty sure Yelich's OPs against RHP just dropped below his OPS against LHP on the season which is .... troublesome.

Fantastic approach by Pratt

Pratt hitting balls hard

It just seems so simple. Yelich and Vaughn platoon as DH. Sal is the 4th outfielder. I know people love Vaughn but he’s bad against righties and his lack of power is concerning.

I would co-sign this.

I agree with this.  Either from wearing down, or old age, Yelich just isn’t the same player these days.

let Bauers play 1B full time as we have lots of talent in the outfield now.

[Bulldogboy]

Patrick is getting the Ashby treatment from Murphy. 

[eli.durie30]

Never seen a pitcher throw as many pitches right down the middle as Patrick

[baseball101]

Patrick is back (hopefully)! Yoho looked good again

What good is this if yelich is playing 70%.   He doesn’t hit righties either.     
 

I get the concern with vaughns hand but his at bats are way more competitive than Yelichs no matter who’s pitching.    
 

id be fine with doing this if Vaughn was hitting 70% of time instead of Yelich 

[edfunderburk]

I find this very interesting … especially on a day we will likely see Sanchez catch the 2nd game

Perfect bunt and Yelich still thrown out. His physical abilities are gone and this will be a long next 2.5 years

[adambr2]

Yeli getting desperate.

We are not there yet, but if the decline continues next season the DFA conversation may come into play, 

[bensheeps]

Love when Mitchell hits the ball hard to left and left-center

[adambr2]

There you go Bill 

[wallus]

Lol at their left fielder for thinking he was throwing out Mitchell at home 

[DesertBrew52]

Contreras coming back to life…

[baseball101]

Chourio, Mitchell, Lara. It’s going to be a great outfield for years.

I can’t wait to see a bomber at third base for us also.   Let’s hope one of those dudes will be ready sooner than later

Yup. Three promising bats right now that could be ready next year.

Think he takes over 2nd for Turang when he hits free agency?

[Bulldogboy]

Yelly bunt for hit ?

[wiguy94]

It's concerning for me how much Yelich has deteriorated athletically in one year. He's getting throw out at 1B comfortably on plays he would have easily been safe on a year ago.
