What would it take for Yelich to … get a game OFF? get moved to the bottom of the order? -
Any day that ends in “y” is a good day to give Yelich the day off 😉
-
And that is only because of his abysmal contract … otherwise Frelick would be in LF
-
SUGGESTION: Trade Voit, move Yeli into a bench role (LF, DH, 1B), & promote Frelick to bat lead off & play LF majority of time It’s possible that if he sits on the bench long enough this year, Yeli may be open to a “fresh start” trade in the offseason with Milwaukee paying 1/2 his salary just to get him off the roster & keep from trading any of the future OFs - Chourio, Frelick, Garrett, & Wiemer I know I’m the only one with this opinion & everyone’s response is: “That will never happen” … that may be true, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen OR that it wouldn’t be the best plan for the Brewers moving forward If Yeli was a Met or a Dodger - Would he be released with the team simply absorbing the salary, acknowledging that it is a bad contract? It will never make sense to me to “play him everyday” just because we signed him to a contract that proved to be a mistake Yeli’s arm is a noodle & his bat is subpar … he runs well, gets on base pretty well, & is a “good teammate” - otherwise, he adds no value to this potential WS team

I can’t describe how much I enjoy & appreciate these Minor League daily overviews & summaries! Thanks to all who invest their time & expertise in these posts. So insightful & helpful for those of us who love following the Brew Crew. I consider my annual financial donation to this website to be one of the best investments I make with my $$$. I’m here for the forums, but these daily MiLB summaries are priceless. Well done, friends! Thank you!

I can repeat myself - Frelick is a better hitter with equal speed & plays better defense Yelich can be a wonderful sub & bench bat
-
4-0 🙌⚾️
-
He doesn’t have to play every game or hit at the top of the lineup - so that is something that could change
-
Yes, but it was still another routine grounder to the right side reminiscent of last year & 2021 … by a player who cares far more about his demise than any of us … & that’s a lot because I’m over Yelich
-
Weak grounder on the right side
-
I hope he hits a grand slam out of the ballpark & gets traded before tomorrow night’s game
-
I hope it’s tonight - with fisticuffs 🥊
-
What difference does that make? What is your point? I don’t care if Yelich is more disappointed than me I only care that his contract keeps us from having $ to spend on good players or from calling up younger talent to replace him
-
O’Niell wasn’t hustling 😂 Marmol should pull him
-
I only pull for the Brewers. I don’t have the Twins like you to turn my attention to when I get frustrated with the team. It’’s been 3+ years since he injured his knee & started struggling. He had 2 remarkable years. He was rewarded & is now an albatross for a small market team. Frelick would be a nice change of pace in LF with better defense & a better bat. Yelich is a swell guy, good teammate, cares deeply - but he is no longer a good hitter. Certainly not worth his salary. Period. No one would be any happier than me if he suddenly regained his stroke & proved me wrong. I won’t hold my breath.
-
I so wish Frelick was in LF & Yelich was on another team or in our dugout
-
Oh I know … he’s not a trade candidate for that reason alone However - it will be interesting to see if they will bench him OR limit him to X # of games once these other young players (Frelick & Chourio) arrive & develop a bit more It is sad that he will likely play simply because of his salary … six years & $162M remaining I believe … mercy 🥴
-
They might even be open to paying a portion of his salary in a trade

Mets (Peterson) vs Brewers (Burnes): 4/5/23, 12:40pm
edfunderburk replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
I’ve been busy working … missed the game but just watched highlights What are the clubhouse issues with the Cardinals? I hope they implode 🤓 -
I’d love to see Wilson finish this game & have a fresh bullpen for tomorrow & Wednesday
-
I don’t mind if he only plays 100 games this season Ideally in the bottom third of the batting order I’d rather Taylor get AB’s upon his return
-
Okay - good to know - that makes sense
-
Please let me know how - travel blackouts drive me crazy
-
How sad - I would go nuts without the Brewers each day
-
That’s horrible So glad I live in Texas
