2018-09-29: Tigers (Norris) at Brewers (Miley) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5 -- Yelich, allegedly human, with two more HRs -- Triple Crown within reach]

[IntentionalHBP]

Two more RBIs for triple crowns. Those numbers could change tomorrow but WOW.

[Eye Black]

This just in... the MVP was renamed MYP.

[SRB]

Frank Thomas changed his imaginary vote

[bigredrobbo]

He could get the Triple Crown, 2 cycles, batting title and there are some Cubs fans will still say Baez is more worthy!

[PinaMadness]

Yeah, maybe Braun should go back to the 5 hole.

[Eye Black]

It’s mildly annoying that the ump called ball four on Braun a strike. Damn.

[MrTPlush]

Christian Yelich has a chance at a 1.000+ OPS this year. He now sits at .999 and I am betting lots of walks are in store tomorrow.

[PinaMadness]

Two more RBIs for triple crowns. Those numbers could change tomorrow but WOW.

It could change tonight yet.

[phnxcrew]

Can Yelich be the hitting coach?

[SRB]

I'm fine with Yelich losing the Triple Crown if Matt Carpenter hits 5 HR tomorrow.

[adambr2]

Golden sombrero tonight for Braun. Although that 3-0 strike was one of those, "It's a 3-0 count, so I'm going to call anything within a foot of the zone" strikes that human umpires just love to call.

Well...he is more exciting......

[DuWayne Steurer]

Can Yelich be the hitting coach?

 

Those who can, do. Those who cant, teach.

[Eye Black]

Can Yelich be the hitting coach?

Which reminds me, it is kind of funny how the hitting coaches are only blamed for the guys that aren’t hitting, but zero credit for a guys on a tear. It is very difficult to determine what level of criticism or praise a hitting coach actually deserves.

[MadScientist]

I've never seen any one player take over a stretch run like this.

[PinaMadness]

Yelich may be the MVP, but man, can Baez tag a stumbling runner like nobody's business.

[phnxcrew]

Can Yelich be the hitting coach?

 

Those who can, do. Those who cant, teach.

 

Wow. Did Snoop D-o double g say that? Or buddha....

[bigredrobbo]

He could get the Triple Crown, 2 cycles, batting title and there are some Cubs fans will still say Baez is more worthy!

 

 

Well...he is more exciting......

 

Yeah, someone actually said, and meant it, that because Yelich is mild mannered, Baez is better for the game to survive!

[coolhandluke121]

I've never seen any one player take over a stretch run like this.

 

Sabathia was better.

 

ETA: And that's no disrespect to Yelich at all.

[HarveysWBs]

Golden sombrero tonight for Braun. Although that 3-0 strike was one of those, "It's a 3-0 count, so I'm going to call anything within a foot of the zone" strikes that human umpires just love to call.

 

Braun said before the game he told the team earlier in the week “I got this.” He must have thought he was Yelich... :-D

[SRB]

So in reality this guy has walked the first three batters

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Granderson being Granderson. Another game, another walk.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Ugh, should be bases loaded, no outs, but I'll take it. Please cash it in. I don't need to have constant heart attacks!

[CheezWizHed]

With all the accolades given Yelli on TV ("no one in MLB is doing this!"), if JD Martinez was in the NL, he would be the triple crown winner (329/42/127). In the AL, he only leads RBIs and is second in the other two.

 

Possible WS matchup?

[Eye Black]

So in reality this guy has walked the first three batters

Yes, based on the actual strike zone that is indeed true.
