Yelich doesn’t even look like he’s trying at this point. Flailing at the ball for weak groundouts or strike outs.

Waiting for Ron Swanson to come tell us more about this Christian Yelich guy, apparent on base machine.

Cut Yelich with a vague back injury and add Hoskins. He can't possibly be that bad.

Legitimately pathetic that in the third time through the order our 3-5 hitters go down in order without placing an ounce of stress on them.

Baseball is streaky and they could get hot in LA but this is such a bummer of a time to go completely cold.

Everything has to go perfectly for the Brewers to have a chance to win a playoff series against a team like the Dodgers.

I posted this on brewerfan. Their #9 hitter had 27 home runs in the regular season. Our 5-9 hitters tonight had 37 home runs in the regular season.

That's the problem. He'll be 34 next season and is owed $70 million. Even big market teams wouldn't be interested.

Union badly wanted the Brewers to win to bolster their argument that a cap isn't needed. Sorry union.

There will probably be some BS after the season that Yelich was playing through some ailment.

If this goes as trending with the dodgers cruising to a world series after basically load managing to 90 wins, there will be a lockout

Fine by me, burn a season if that’s what it takes to get a salary cap (and floor).

I'm so sick of all the ups and downs and people thinking he's "returning to form" every time he has 2 good weeks, but with his overall stats the last 2 years, I think it's possible that some big market team will be interested if the Brewers pitch in a little.

MLB should force them to only use their bullpen in game 3 just to make the game more competitive.

Small markets need to band together stay strong. If they have to have a lockout for multiple seasons I don’t even care.

Yea, at the point, I could do without baseball to fix this ****.

I saw an article this summer about how Kyle Tucker could fix the Dodgers LF position. How is that even remotely considered ok by baseballs higher ups?

Imagine having Dave Roberts’ job. Just “manage” a bought team and act like you’re doing something lol.

I’m not sure how you can think it’d BS when he’s DH’d the entire playoffs even when chourio has a bum wheel and they want Bauers bat in the lineup. How does that make any sense unless his back is bothering him?
