The Brewers may have set a new silent treatment record after this Scooter Gennett homer

Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett hit a go-ahead home run early in Tuesday's game against the Rangers and was greeted in the Milwaukee dugout with … complete silence.

The silent treatment is hardly a novel prank, but the Brew Crew's sheer commitment - 23 seconds by our clock - takes this entire scene to vintage-Michael-Scott levels of awkwardness.

Of course, the reaction was a little different when Gennett gave Milwaukee the lead again - this time for good -- just two innings later.
