You would probably be drinking too if you had to pitch for the Brewers.
Will be going to that game on Thursday in which he is scheduled to pitch.
Wonder what kind of response there will be for him.
Any suggestions?

He's a gamer, a fighter, and he will overcome having too much blood in his alcohol system some day.
Everyone should just raise their beer.
the mass spectrometer never lies.
Hopefully he gets his **** together and realizes how lucky he is no one got hurt.

And a bad start to the season keeps getting better... 
Nearly 3x the legal limit, Wow!
Amazing he didn't hurt others or himself. Zero excuse, first offense or not, to not call a cab or have a DD.

“You obviously know why I’m here. First of all, I just want to start out… Obviously, last night, I made a bad decision. You know, I made a mistake. I made a mistake. I’m sure I’ve lost a lot of respect from a lot of fans, but I just want to apologize. I apologize to the fans, to my teammates, my family. You know, like I said, it’s just a bad call. It’s something I shouldn’t have done. I regret it. But at this point, you know, there’s nothing I can do about it now. You know, it happened.
“Like I said, I just want to apologize to the whole organization and all the people in Milwaukee for my actions. It’s not very easy. It’s one of those things — I truly am sorry. I’m going to make sure something like this never happens again. Whatever circumstances, consequences, whatever I have to do so this won’t happen again, I’m going to do it.
“At this point, I wish I could answer your questions right now, but obviously it’s one of those things that’s — it’s an ongoing process. I mean, I don’t know how long it’s going to get this cleared up, the whole situation that happened. The main thing, like I said, I came out here to apologize, especially to the people that look up to me and things like that. Obviously, it’s something that I regret, and like I said, I’ll make sure it never happens again.”

That's the most common theme on local radio here. Bad enough to drive 3X the legal limit. But for someone with his vast financial resources and in a city that has plenty of cabs few use, really no excuse for him to get behind the wheel like that.
WI remains the only state where as long as you don't hurt anyone or have a young kid in the car, your 1st offense is no different then an expensive traffic ticket. The fines that Yo' will pay might as well be 30 cents.

$300 fine for first time offender..
HAHAHA.. Man I miss Wisconsin sometimes.
All that matters to me is what he learns from this and what he does going forward. Happens to a lot of people once. Some learn, some don't. Hope he learns.
The Brewer Organization seems to be sliding back into "Losersville".

I concur, Dr.
Yeah, scoreless for 32 innings, underperforming over-paid players, oft-injured mediocre guys, superstars allegedly on drugs and now high-priced "pickled" pitchers.
And now we get "I am sorry for my wrongful deed".
I think this organization has been drifting back into its "loser" image of the 90s and late 80s. And it starts at the top.
Doug Melvin does not impress me any longer. He seems to find more losers than winners.

I had to read that twice.
Your perspective fascinates me.

I don't doubt that at all
Too bad, Yo seems like a good guy. Hopefully he learns from it.
Yo isn't the first and he won't be the last athlete to do something stupid. Thankfully he didn't get hurt and he didn't hurt anyone else. Learn from it and move forward. It certainly was a dumb thing to do. There are thousands of people after every game that get in their cars and drive while being over the limit in stadiums all over the country.
