Last season, despite owning the fifth-lowest ERA, the Brewers’ bullpen held the ninth-highest FIP and sixth-lowest WAR. It wasn’t an elite group, but it wasn’t terrible, either. They only walk 3.04 batters per nine innings, stranded 77% of base runners, and posted a fairly league… [More]

In a must-win game against the Cincinnati Reds, right-hander Shaun Marcum tossed six innings of one-run baseball, and the offense provided more than enough firepower to propel the Brewers to a victory. Combined with a St. Louis Cardinals loss against the Houston Astros, Milwaukee moved back… [More]

Late Sunday evening, a source informed me that right-hander Brandon Kintzler would be one of the Brewers’ minor leaguers promoted to Milwaukee now that rosters have expanded for the month of September. Kintzler briefly enjoyed a cup of coffee with the big league club in mid-2011…. [More]
