With the pandemic-shortened season finally underway, see what fans were buzzing about Friday night on social media:

Check the math
Conventional mathematics say the @Brewers are on pace to finish the regular season at 0-60. However, after allowing for multiple variables, further calculations show a more likely 59-1. #ThisIsMyCrew
