A few updates on the Brewers…
- Milwaukee will welcome back ace Corbin Burnes from the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com relays. Burnes confirmed Wednesday that he landed on the shelf April 26 as a result of a positive test, but he was asymptomatic and able to continue working out, per Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Prior to going on the IL, the 26-year-old flamethrower got off to a remarkable start with 29 1/3 innings of 1.53 ERA/1.25 SIERA, and he also piled up 49 strikeouts without issuing a single walk. Burnes is now three punchouts away from breaking Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen’s 4-year-old record of 51 strikeouts against no walks to open a season.
- McCalvy also passes on the latest regarding left fielder Christian Yelich, who hit the 10-day IL for the second time last week because of ongoing back troubles. Yelich has returned to “doing baseball activities,” according to manager Craig Counsell, who didn’t offer a timeline for when he could rejoin their lineup. Yelich’s second IL placement came just one game after the team activated him from a three-week absence. Yelich has appeared in only 10 games and collected 41 plate appearances this year, but the former MVP has hit a rather productive .353/.463/.382 in that short span.
- The Brewers designated righty Zack Godley for assignment on Monday, and he has since gone unclaimed on waivers, Steve Adams of MLBTR tweets. Godley has up to two days to accept an outright assignment or return to free agency. The Brewers signed the 30-year-old to a minor league contract in March, and they selected his contract April 27. Godley made a start the next day, but he managed only three innings of three earned-run ball before exiting with a right finger injury that required an IL stint.
Corbin, now will you and your wife get vaccinated? Those two missed starts were avoidable.
Are you always in the habit of telling others what to do about something as personal as medical choices?
Not really personal when it affects the rest of the population.

You’re walking a slippery slope there
Can’t you still get it even if your vaccinated?
I’m sure you can just look at shingles (aka chicken pox after already having it)
5 fully vaccinated Yankees coaches just tested positive for Covid so the vaccines are not 100% effective. I believe the 3 major vaccines on the market have an 80 – 85% efficiency rate, and that’s only against the Covid strain(s) the vaccines were created for. The vaccines don’t protect against the new Covid variants out there that are spreading faster and have more severe symptoms so this Covid crisis isn’t going away anytime soon even if the entire world population were to get vaccines. With that said, it would greatly reduce the infection rate. While I am pro-vaccine (getting second shot next week) I believe people have the right to choose not to get vaccinated and we shouldn’t judge them for that. I think we’ll all still be wearing masks well into 2022 unfortunately.
careful there figgins you might get burnt at the stake or even worse “canceled” with your logical comments. jokes aside you hit the nail on the head it amazes me how so many people don’t know how immunization works. it’s like you said they only work on “current” strands, if you have a virus that evolves at a fast rate like the flu immunization is almost worthless because the virus has changed. imo we just need to go back to before the virus and let our bodies “fight it off” if your in good health. if you fall into high risk for whatever reason then fine do what you gotta do to be safe, but those of us that don’t it’s time time we “man up” and start living life again.
Big papi, With a vaccine+mask the transmission rate is between 95% and 99% lower than just a mask and being unvaccinated
There’s a very large difference between “possible” and “enough that it should matter”. The 1-5% chance you could transmit it after being vaccinated is enough “possible” for you to make a stand against a vaccine trying to stop a global pandemic? Talk about morally questionable
Get outta here with that vaccine and mask crap. It’s a stupid cold flu like virus stop living scared.
Tell that to the people that have lost loved ones to this stupid cold flu like virus
BeforeMcCourt –
A 1-5% chance, huh? Yet HOW MANY Yankee coaches just came down with it after being vaccinated? Might want to re-check your numbers
rjcollings1973 –
A very foolish, if not plain out stupid, comment. I sincerely hope you don’t infect and of your at-risk family members or friends. How hard is it to take 20 minutes to get a shot that might save the life of someone close to you? You’re the one who’ll have to live with the repercussions if something does happen, so you do you
Well, he had it so he now has a level of immunity from infection going forward.
But I agree he should of gotten the vaccine earlier, April 5th, when the team had an event to get vaccinated. He hurt the team by not getting it, although there is also the chance he is vaccinated and still got covid. So much we don’t know.
Who is to say that he still wouldn’t miss them starts even with the vaccine, you can still get it and or spread it, vaccines only help build up your immunity to a virus not make invincible to it and vaccines of any kind should be up to an individual and not organizations, groups of people or the government. Ill get off my soapbox now and will speak no more of this
Actually he wouldn’t have missed them…Wainwright’s family had it and he went home to help out and was able to come back and make his start…he was vaccinated
Folks who think they can read something on the internet and call themselves educated are the problem here. Most people, including me, are not equipped to make informed decisions based on cherry-picked data from one study, much less synthesize data from multiple peer-reviewed studies to create new knowledge. I don’t ask my doctor for plumbing advice. I don’t ask my electrician to fly me to my vacation destination. There is a reason we should listen to experts – we are not the experts in the health field. Stop being morons and listen to the experts. Please.
Morons? We listened to experts. Experts? Don’t wear masks! Changed their minds. No, wear masks! No, wear two masks. There are no experts. Admit it. They are GUESSING. Nothing wrong with guessing. Let me decide for myself on their guesses. Doesn’t make me a moron. I’m skeptical.
So Maddog is upset the medical community became more concerned with the pandemic the longer it went on and the more we understood the virus, and changed their suggestions accordingly
So because scientists listened to science and followed the scientific method, maddog is justified going against all science!! Hahahaha yeah you’re a moron
Man let those sheep keep eating grass and doing as they are told. They forget some of us have a brain and can make our own decisions.
It’s easy for you to call someone a name when you don’t have to look them in the eye.
Seems to be quite a few morons on this site and in this country in general. They’re the ones who may have to live with the mental anguish of knowing that they caused the easily preventable death of a loved one should something happen, all because they want to sound smart here and wont spend the 20 minutes for a free vaccination. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone, but if it does, enjoy a guilt ridden existence for the rest of your life, you fools
rjcollings1973 –
Come to me right now and I will look you square in the eyes. What are you trying to prove anyways? Do you think your stance makes you “cool” or something?
get better soon yelich i don’t the brew make the playoffs much less the division without him. also i want to see my birds play (and hopefully win) the brew at full strength.
An error in judgment by Burnes imho. Might as well get used to people missing time for work, businesses occasionally being closed or shut down and other inconveniences.
Yeah, COVID is just like the flu. Really!!?? Over 500K dead in the states alone over this past year. Amazing how many of the same people say a mask and the COVID vaccine are infringing on “their freedom” and a personal choice. Yet these very same people don’t believe in a woman’s choice. Too bad ignorance isn’t painful.
Damn, this is a selfish and greedy country!!
Kudos to the people who respect the right of other people to take precautions and NOT GET SICK.
Go Crew
And nearly 7x that number dead in the world combined…
People die of car crashes and smoking and drug overdose and the flu. It’s kinda a thing that people don’t live forever. Make good choices for yourself don’t tell others what to do.
Three of the things you cited, cars, smoking and drugs, have hundreds of laws in the US telling people what they can or cannot do with them.
Peculiar is how the cause of death for literally everything else plummited.
Again… Factually incorrect. Which makes it “literally” incorrect. Where do you get this crap? Did you hear Tucker say it?
Provisional 2020 data from the CDC:
Heart Disease: 690,000 deaths
Cancer: 598,000 deaths
Final 2019 data from the CDC:
Heart Disease: 659,000 deaths
Cancer: 599,000 deaths
Preliminary data for 2020 suggests that the other major causes of death were similar in numbers to 2020, and certainly not decreased. The age adjusted death rate was up 16% overall because of COVID.

Hey… Whoa. Let’s not let facts get in the way here.. MY man rjcollings1973 is NO SHEEP. He just gets all of his views and boilerplate talking points from the exact same three sources as the 30% of the population he’s in total lockstep with. Or goose step.
Hopefully this the end of the road for Zack Godley.
