There are several Brewers with pinkeye, and now they can’t high-five. From the AP:
The Brewers can’t high-five because of a pinkeye epidemic
Don’t touch Jonathan Lucroy’s hand. It has infection on it.
Catcher Jonathan Lucroy and pitching coach Rick Kranitz became the latest victims Thursday. They will be staying home for 48 hours in hopes of stopping the spread of the annoying and highly contagious malady.
You've all seen videos of players wiping crap out of their eyes while rounding the bases, then high-fiving, with their teammates immediately rubbing their eyes before reaching the dugout. This seeks to prevent that. More importantly, we all know how pinkeye really happens (NSFW):
So that's what happened to Peter Brand. This means we have to power-rank the Brewers who are most likely to fart on a teammate's pillow.

Ryan Braun does a lot of things when his teammates aren’t looking, and they’re all completely repugnant, but there’s only one Brewer who would dare violate the unwritten rule of “Please don’t fart on my pillow, c’mon, man.” He doesn’t even feel bad, either.
It’s possible the Brewers’ case of pinkeye isn’t a direct result of fecal matter, but it’s not like Hollywood is ever wrong. That’s where I go for my medical education, and now we know what caused the Brewers’ pinkeye. Here’s hoping fewer high-fives will take care of this outbreak.
