The ball is jumping in Milwaukee today. Either that, or the Brewers and Diamondbacks have a bunch of strong hitters. Could be a combination of both. It’s probably a combination of both, actually.
Diamondbacks vs. Brewers: Chris Young Goes Deep, Arizona Cuts Deficit
But several times on Sunday, a hitter took a ball to center field, and it sailed over the center fielder’s head. Ryan Braun and Paul Goldschmidt hit homers to center field in the first two innings, and Rickie Weeks just missed one on his third-inning triple. Chris Young hit a home run almost in the exact same spot as Weeks’ triple, but with about a foot more elevation. The homer cut the Brewers’ lead to 4-2.
Miller Park is a little homer-happy, but mostly for left-handed hitters. It plays fair for righties, for the most part, so it’s not as if Sunday’s homer barrage is because the park is a launching pad. The Brewers and Diamondbacks just have a lot of players who can hit home runs. That might be why those two teams made the playoffs. Just a guess.
