That was 105.7 off Yelich's bat. Gotta get some lift.

How long do we go on about how hard this guy is hitting the ball when its not resulting in anything. Yeah we are stuck with him but he's been terrible for two seasons in a row.

He found it that inning. Finally located the cutter.

He sure did. And kept damage off the board while he was still settling in.

I'm going to change the sheet music here:

Burnesy is going to find his locations and start dominancing.  Brew Crew bats are going to wake up. They are shaking the cobwebs off...?

could you do it for our offense as well?

You answered your own question. As long as he is here.

Well, the fact of the matter is: 

We don't have the choice or say in the matter regardless. Let's hope he turns it around and finds some semblance of Form. It's really all there is to it.

I believe in Rowdy’s ability to improve from last AB!

This is why I am happy to be able to "like" posts now. Bravo.

I like our chances here, Lads. I saw some tells in Hendricks delivery the first few innings. The Boys are going to start keying in on the Change and return to 10 run wins vs. these lowly scrubs from Chicago here in the next couple innings.

[brewers888]

Nice at bat from Rowdy.

Well, maybe third time through…

[Fear The Chorizo]

quick bit of advice for Rowdy....just leave the bat on your shoulder and he'll walk you next time

[adambr2]

Hiura please.

Not so much ...

[owbc]

The new guys haven't had enough time for the Brewers' mystery voodoo to ruin their swings. 

[treego14]

Well, at least our new guys are getting hits ... ?

[treego14]

Omar gets a hit for us the painful way!

[tomwopat]

Lemme get a Cain backleg salami on a hero with oil and vinegar please.

[owbc]

That does the trick. First run of 2022!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Take that any day. Nice AB by Cain.

[adambr2]

We'll take that. 

[adambr2]

Damn. Jace just missed it. We got on the board, at least. 

[treego14]

Jace with a lace!  Caught on the track, though, in right ... boooo!

[kalle8]

so glad baseball is back, 1-0!

[Joseph Zarr]

Hey now. 1 run and Burnes. We take that any day of the week regardless of the result. Good start.

 

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Burnes sitting at a relatively efficient 46 pitches through 3 innings. Have to think they are probably thinking 80 for him. Hopefully he can get through 6.
