Milwaukee Brewers do not start easy out of the gates. They have to play the St. Louis Cardinals 10 times in the first 26 games. They have seven games against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the month of April. This will not be easy, but Milwaukee is ready for the challenge. Brewers got off on the right foot beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-4, and they’re currently on pace for a 162-0. That joke is overdone, but I love it, so, shut up.

Player of the Game: Christian Yelich – DJ Yella and the funky bunch. Yelich got on base three times yesterday to kick off his MVP defense. He hit a huge three-run home run to put the Brewers ahead after they went down 3-1 early in this game. It is good to see that the very long offseason where Yeli had no time to be a human. Part of me worried for a slow start. While that’s still possible, he showed his MVP skills.

Honorable Mention: Jhoulys Chacin – Here’s the thing about my boy Jewels. He didn’t really pitch that well. That said, he hit a home run and got on base setting up Yelich for a three-run homer. It has to be demoralizing as a pitcher to give up a homer to your counterpart to start the season. I also am here for pitcher’s revolt on offense with all of the talk that there will be the universal DH.

Thing I Liked: The power surge starts strong for Milwaukee – Yelich, Chacin and Mike Moustakas all hit home runs for the Brewers to start the year. Many people, myself included, think Milwaukee’s offense is going to be damn good and extremely tough to deal with. If you saw that lineup last night, there isn’t one spot in the order where there is a hole.

Thing I Didn’t Like: Kolton Wong owns Milwaukee – This asshole just pisses me right off. There are so many people in baseball that give the Brewers trouble who are not actually good against anyone else. Wong fits that category. He smokes two homers and was a major part of St. Louis’ offense yesterday.

Highlight of the night: NOT TODAY, ASSHOLES

Next up: Brewers and Cardinals gear up for the second game of the series with Freddy Peralta taking the hill versus Jack Flathery. Hopefully, the Brewers can figure out the young stud for St. Louis because he dominated them in four starts last season. This is an interesting test for Freddy as he needs teams who aren’t patient at the plate which isn’t St. Louis. Can he pitch more to contact and not let walks get out of control?

Charlie.
