That moment when you’re absolutely certain you can see how the story will unfold, and know without a doubt that you’re about to witness the impossible is why we watch sports. On Wednesday, it seemed as though the desire of the universe should be that… [More]

Here are the Brewers’ runs allowed in their last 4 games: 3, 2, 5, 4. Here is their runs scored in the same games: 8, 0, 0, 6. Clearly, this week the team has gone as the offense has gone, and the offense has gone… [More]

After last night’s game, the Brewers have played 12.34567% of their season (Seriously.) The portion of an iceberg visible above water is typically one-ninth of the total volume, or 11%. So, in other words, we have so far literally only seen the tip of the… [More]

The Brewers’ last 4 games have all been decided by one run, and they’ve won exactly half of them, which is exactly what you would expect. Most research that has been done on the subject has suggested that baseball teams generally have no particular skill… [More]

The Brewers lost both their split squad games yesterday, but Elvis Costello already wrote a whole song about what spring training records mean, so I’m not going to talk about that. Instead, I’m going to talk about one of the changes to the MLB landscape… [More]

It’s a bit of a slow news week, because let’s face it: there really isn’t much going on in Brewers camp this year. All of the starters at each position are set; there’s a bit of drama with Hart’s knee surgery, but it’ll probably only… [More]
