From Adam McCalvy:

 

For those asking why the Brewers wouldn't activate Yelich from the COVID-IL since he's eligible: He went 10 days without picking up a bat. Given the back issues earlier this year, they feel it is best to run him through several days of BP before he plays a game.

[wildcat83]

Did they activate an arm to replace Houser? I haven’t seen an official move.

[markedman5]

No Houser is still on the active roster for whatever reason…….

[BruisedCrew]

Usually I have some belief that a pro baseball team has a chance to beat anyone

 

But I don’t know if I can follow the reds games this weekend. I honestly don’t think the pirates will win one game. They are just that bad

 

Best to just assume that the Reds will sweep the Pirates and consider it a gift if they lose one. They aren’t fooling around with the Pirates pitching staff. 7 runs in 2 innings last night and 7 in the first tonight.

[Underachiever]

Thanks, Pittsburgh

Which makes the ten days more like 12-13 days, if they have to isolate. I’m sure the pitchers will need some time as well. I’ve got covid now, and I was told I wasn’t allowed to exercise. Some tough days a-coming’ for the Brewers

I suppose we should be grateful the Pirates are not teasing us by being competitive only to lose in walk off fashion.

[willie key]

13 games left with the pirates is going to be hard to watch

 

 

The reds might win every one of those

I'll take the under on that

[82brewcrew82]

AVI BOMB!

[BruisedCrew]

Wow, that did not look like a home run swing.

[jason21nl]

Not sure how that got out but I’ll take it!!

[BruisedCrew]

Tellez misses by a foot.

They did this with Strickland too. My only guess is they try to wait a day hoping for a false positive and to test out of it with negatives. Unfortunately, that's a very slim chance.

Give me the odds and I will take that bet

 

I bet you can make a ton of money on that. Pittsburgh is not a professional baseball team after dumping everyone

Seemed like they did the Pittsburgh thing and screwed that up by going for a bunch of AAAA players rather than legit prospects. Might be good enough to steal a couple.

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, if you’re betting on undefeated, there are a lot of people here taking that bet….

Even if you assume 90% win rate for Cincy (no) the Pirates are going to win 1 or 2.

[homer]

Would the Brewers go undefeated if they played Nashville 13 times?

12 - 1

[willie key]

I’d like to know what the odds are. I would bet that

 

You can make some money

[titletownking]

Big out for Corbin.

[yourout]

Wonder what kind of a Payday Kris Bryant is looking at.

[nate82]

Yastrzemski looks to be a 1-year wonder.
