Milwaukee’s Tailgate Podcast: Don’t Say Christian Yelich is Back

Is...is Christian Yelich back?

After hitting the ball on the ground too much and lacking power for much of the 2021 season, Christian Yelich had a big weekend against the Washington Nationals.

It was an encouraging sign for a Brewers team that could use the offensive boost as they head into the stretch run of the regular season and into October, but are the changes for real — or are they a small-sample mirage against a bad team?

We discuss that and more — who could be added to the roster in September, Brandon Woodruff possibly hitting a wall, and this week’s big series against Cincinnati — on this week’s episode of Milwaukee’s Tailgate.
