I give people second (and sometimes 10th) chances like they were scratch-off cards during the final...14Wed, 30 Mar 2022 12:00:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/christian-yelich-should-bat-leadoff-for-the-milwaukee-brewers-r16/In this era of striving for more power to counteract insane pitching, many have forgotten that getting on base remains just as valuable of an asset when creating consistent offense.
