Unlikely: Nows Now” This Is The Worst Day Of My Life’ Christian Yelich, Announce His Departure After Accusing HC Pat Murphy Of….

Christian Yelich, age 32, has always been a sneaky good runner on the base paths. He has 190 career stolen bases, is one of the most efficient runners of the bases with the way he cuts the bags, and his overall awareness is exceptional. During a recent Milwaukee Brewers and Miami Marlins game his awareness was on full display as he stole home.

Christian Yelich manufactured a run by himself against the Miami Marlins (watch).

In the sixth inning Christian Yelich drew a walk and became the Brewers first base runner of the inning. He then proceeded to steal second base and advanced to third base on a throwing error from the catcher. A few pitches after that he stole home by recognizing that he had time to score in between the baseball leaving the catchers hand and returning to the Marlins left-handed pitcher.

The last Milwaukee Brewers player with a straight steal of home was Scott Podsednik in 2003.

A straight steal of home does not happen everyday. Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds did it against the Brewers last year. The last player in a Milwaukee uniform to do it was Scott Podsednick in 2003. Willy Adames did swipe home on a double steal in 2022 in which Christian Yelich was the base runner stealing second base.

In February, the Baltimore Orioles swung a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers for ace Corbin Burnes. Let’s look at how the trade has worked out for both teams. Back on February 1, the Orioles and Brewers made a trade that sent shockwaves through MLB. The Orioles acquired the 2021 Cy Young award winner Burnes, while just giving up two neophytes: DL Hall and Joey Ortiz. The young up-and-coming Orioles were now getting a star pitcher to headline their rotation, and the price barely made a dent in their loaded farm system. This poised the Orioles as prime World Series contenders in 2024. For the Brewers, it meant they did not want to have to pay Burnes, who is a free agent after the 2024 season. Instead, they opted for two former top 100 prospects, Hall and Ortiz, who they think can be big-time contributors to their young team.

Breaking Down the Corbin Burnes Trade

The Orioles Have Their Ace

After the Orioles’ disappointing playoff performance in 2023, it was clear a change to the rotation had to be made. In Games 2 and 3 of last year’s ALDS against the Texas Rangers, the Orioles pitching staff game up 18 runs combined. This offseason, the Orioles front office worked tirelessly for an upgrade to their pitching staff, until they got their guy: Corbin Burnes.

Burnes immediately slotted in as the number 1 guy for the Orioles, and he has been almost better than advertised. Amazingly, Burnes has not allowed more than 3 runs in any of his first 10 starts with the Orioles.

Just this past Sunday, Burnes pitched six innings, striking out 11 and earning the win against the Seattle Mariners. These impressive performances had become the norm for Brewers fans, and now Orioles fans enjoy Burnes’s outstanding pitching.

Exactly what the Orioles needed, Burnes’s 2.56 ERA has him in the upper echelon of pitchers in MLB. His ERA is low, but Burnes’s fWAR is an astonishing 1.4 already, and his strikeouts per nine innings lie just below 10. The Orioles’ pitching staff has seen a ton of turmoil, as it now moves to a six-man rotation. However, the Orioles can be certain that Burnes will remain atop the rotation, putting up Cy Young-worthy numbers.

The Brewers Youth Movement

Although the Brewers decided to trade a franchise great in Corbin Burnes, they received two highly touted pieces in return and could move forward with their youth movement, fueled by an underdog mentality.
