Rolling Young, Controllable Talent - Your 2018 Milwaukee Brewers Let's Make it Happen Thread

Yelich is doing a pretty good '67 Yaz imitation.

After today:

Yaz '67 (Sept./Oct.) - .417/.504/.760, 9 HR, 26 RBI
Yelich (Sept.) - .360/.500/.826, 10 HR, 33 RBI

(It was an offhanded comment--didn't realize they were that close.)

He's two RBI's from a triple crown.

except the brewers had the lead for most of the first half but ok

immediate regret for nit-picking a meme

brewers are a good team, congrats to the ilx brewers fans

tbh I wasn't too bullish on this season b/c a lot of players had breakout years in 2017 and I didn't know how repeatable that was. Thames, Santana, and Pina all regressed this year (I thought Shaw did too, but apparently his increased BB% made up for it), while most of last year's starting pitchers were notably worse this year, and our top guy Jimmy Nelson didn't pitch at all. All those offseason moves really worked out.

current mood:

Since the break, Yelich is hitting .367/.449/.770 in 64 games, and down the stretch he has been nearly impossible to get out.

Over his last 13 games, Yelich is 21-for-43 with six home runs, five doubles and two triples. That’s 13 extra-base hits in just 12 games, and he’s driven in 21 runs while scoring 17 times. He walked 14 times, including all five times last Wednesday to finish off a sweep of the Cardinals, one of eight straight victories the Brewers finished the season with.

I don't believe there is a 2019 thread, so I'm placing this here:

we migrated over here this year:

NL CENTRAL PREDICTATRON 2019

Oh, that makes sense.

I didn't know till today they had a 29-year-old rookie pitcher named Jason Alexander. I wish I were a headline writer for one of the local papers--I'd have one for appearance.

"every appearance"

Maybe we can have a rolling fake headline thread

Brewers Twitter is calling this the Summer of George

Over/under on how long till the first "Master of His Domain" headline.

Another divisional leader without a thread (nothing since 2018)...Don't know if FB links work, but I'll post this for frogs.

at a certain point, team-specific threads started to seem unnecessary with the small number of regulars on ILB, and some people started just posting on the general season thread instead. but that isn’t a hard and fast rule and some of the team-specific threads are pretty popular. but that’s why you don’t see a 2023 thread for every single team.

Makes sense. I'm glad I started the Rays thread, though.
