Twitter reacts to Christian Yelich’s season-ending injury
We don’t have to tell you that Christian Yelich’s season-ending injury was a bummer.
Milwaukee Brewers fans everywhere reacted with sadness, not only at the prospect of Yelich being hurt but also the chances of a long playoff run taking a hit with him not in the lineup.
But the Brewers faithful weren’t the only ones whose spirits were dampened. Here’s a few selected tweets from current and former major-league players as well as notable names from the media regarding Yelich’s injury:
Big prayers out to my guy @ChristianYelich man. Hate seeing injuries, especially to unbelievable human beings. Looking forward to see you come back and continue that legacy!

Don Mattingly, Yelich’s former Marlins manager: “I heard that during the game. That’s awful. Obviously, we all know Yeli and what kind of guy he is. You hate to see a player like that getting hurt down the stretch. He’s stepped into a superstar realm.”

Injuries to @ChristianYelich and #josebaez are not only devastating to the @Brewers and @cubs. These players grieve for their seasons, & certainly worry about the long-range personal toll. Let’s remember, behind every injury that changes a betting line is a hurting human being.

I feel really bad for @ChristianYelich for the terrible injury he sustained last night. He may be a rival my Cubbies, but he is a terrific player and a credit to baseball. I hope he heals well and can come back next year healthy,
