Brewers<\/a> broadcaster Jeff Levering stops by The Crawfish Boxes to preview the weekend series versus Milwaukee<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Q: Christian Yelich<\/a> was slowed in May with that groin strain.\u00a0 \u00a0 Last May when he last faced the Astros<\/a>, he had some nice at bats against them.\u00a0 What kind of season is he having this year?<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 Yelich had a resurgent season in 2025, his most games played since 2022, and arguably his most productive since 2019. With no rehab assignment, and some lingering back issues, he has been somewhat slow to come back from the groin strain. However, he did homer in back to back games in his return. His presence strengthens the lineup.<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0 Do you think the NL Central is the toughest in all of baseball?<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 It has always been a competitive division, but every team got better this offseason. Two months into the season, it is the most balanced division in the league.<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0 What does Jake Bauers<\/a> bring to the club?<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 Great intangibles and a steady approach to the game (and life).\u00a0 Finally healthy and given an opportunity to play most days, Bauers is thriving with the opportunity. He is solid at first, can play either corner outfield spot and has power to all fields at the plate.<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0 Kyle Harrison<\/a> and Jacob Misiorowski<\/a> have been equally impressive collecting K\u2019s and wins.\u00a0 What have been their biggest improvements leading to their success this season?\u00a0 <\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 Miz brings the heat, up to 104MPH, but his command has taken on a new life form this year. He\u2019s not just a thrower anymore, he\u2019s hitting spots with all of his pitches and maintains his velocity throughout the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Harrison, he\u2019s finally getting a shot. He\u2019s always had the stuff, but moving to the first base side of the rubber has allowed his pitches to become weapons. (He\u2019s added) Additional depth on the slurve, and the fastball sneaks up on the league\u2019s best hitters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Quite the 1-2 punch. And both leading MLB\u2019s youngest pitching staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering stops by The Crawfish Boxes to preview the weekend series versus Milwaukee.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Q: Christian…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":672346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[9893,59486,156131,13260,100288,293276,96729,8263,363,102583,99,187168,293277],"class_list":["post-672345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-brewers","tag-christian-yelich","tag-groin-strain","tag-jacob-misiorowski","tag-jake-bauers","tag-jeff-levering","tag-kyle-harrison","tag-milwaukee","tag-mlb","tag-nl-central","tag-sports","tag-the-astros","tag-the-crawfish-boxes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=672345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/672346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=672345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=672345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=672345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
