I think Yelich has broken out of his little slump.

That was a bomb. Well done!

 

Edit: Damn, thought Braun got one too.

Am I the only one that thinks if Braun is actually sprinting from the start, he cuts off that ball and holds the runner to 3rd. Obviously percentage is that his body falls apart if he does.

 

I even replayed it a few times kind of wondering what I was missing. He should have been able to read the hit easily enough.

5 IP, 3H, 3BB, 4K, 1ER on 87 pitches. Nice job Miley! I wonder if we go 1-2-3 if he starts the 6th?

I was kinda wondering the same thing. Brauns out now so maybe his body did fall apart.

 

Or cc was wondering the same thing and wanted an extended discussion with him?

Was listening to a the MLB Statcast Podcast and they were talking Domingo Santana's defensive statistics look a lot better so far this year than last year.

 

I'm not sure he's made any phenomenal plays or anything but that first out there was a nice grab and he does seem a little bit better so far this year, which admittedly might not be saying much.

I'll third this, I thought for sure he'd cut it off but he didn't seem to be running very hard.

 

Best guess is he was already feeling something at that point.

Wonder no more. Awesome first start. Let’s get him a W!

Heckuva start, Wade. Needed those innings from you.

Hopefully Braun coming out is precautionary move and not serious. Going to need that bat with such a dreadful bottom of the order and bench.
