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]

[MrTPlush]

Christian Yelich has hit 21 homers in August/September. He had that many once...in an entire season...ONCE...in an entire season!

[CheezWizHed]

Granderson being Granderson. Another game, another walk.

 

I'm guessing that is why he will be on the playoff 25-man roster.

[IntentionalHBP]

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

Agreed

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Preeeeeeetty sure Aguilar did not want to get thrown out at third again.

[HarveysWBs]

Preeeeeeetty sure Aguilar did not want to get thrown out at third again.

 

Oh he about busted a hamstring throwing on the E-brake, though

[SRB]

Preeeeeeetty sure Aguilar did not want to get thrown out at third again.

 

One of these days he's going to make it!

Easily ahead of Santana and Thames. I'd take him ahead of Braun as well.

[MrTPlush]

Every time I see Yelich bat I feel like I am watching the celebrity softball game.

[SRB]

I'd take him ahead of Braun as well.

 

???

 

The guy who's hit like 8 clutch HR in the last few days?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I'd take him ahead of Braun as well.

The guy who's hit like 8 clutch HR in the last few days?

 

Yep, I shook my head on that one too.

[PinaMadness]

For the love of Pete, Schoop.

Whoa. Bayless-level hot take!

[The stache]

This must be what it was like watching Babe Ruth in his prime. Yelich is absolutely insane right now. Wow.

 

Per my spreadsheet through Yelich's three at bats tonight, here are his second half stats:

 

63 games

250 at bats

56 runs scored

91 hits

18 doubles

5 triples

25 home runs

66 RBI

9 for 11 in stolen bases (81.8%)

33 walks

49 strikeouts

194 total bases

.364 AVG

.438 OBP

.776 SLG

1.214 OPS

 

These are video game numbers.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Like having the lead, too many runners have been left on base in this game. Bullpen should be working with a bigger margin for error. Gonna need the aces to do their ace work.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Schoop just swung at three balls way off the inside corner. I think the first one was two inches off, the second four, and the last one about eight. No bueno.

[phnxcrew]

I'd certainly take Granderson or Braun ahead of Schoop.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

For the love of Pete, Schoop.

 

Just no plate discipline. His at-bats are painful to watch. He's got great power, but looking at his at-bats, I don't see how he ever got hot enough to be a Player of the Week, let alone put up the numbers he did last season.

Schoop swinging at a fastball that nearly nicks his jersey thrown by a guy with a letter randomly capitalized in the middle of his name

[YelichPosse]

Let’s go pen!

 

Yelich any good? Think the human windmill is better still ? Any pundits even have a leg to stand on anymore ?. My god

He's still 2 for 4 with a really big hit tonight. Yes, that was an ugly AB but one of numerous tonight for the lineup.

[SRB]

Not crazy about using Knebel/Jeffress here but I guess they'll have tomorrow off.

[MrTPlush]

Whoever was in charge of scouting Schoop should get the boot...fish unreal. We could have gotten better help for our players than this.

[Bulldogboy]

Can we please get Lugo out?

[dlk9s]

Yelich is like that rookie I purchased on Baseball Stars after I built him up over several seasons to be unstoppable with an eventual salary of $99,999,999.
