On May 6, 2011, the greatest Milwaukee Brewers team in franchise history sat in last place in the National League Central. The club struggled to stay afloat after their prolonged winless start, and they flat-out sputtered to a halt to open May. From April 30… [More]
I have to admit, I was concerned about writing this morning. Now that we’re out in the eastern time zone, the west coast games practically start after we’re asleep. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I accidentally left my computer volume and GameDay window open,… [More]
We are only three weeks into the regular season, so the sample sizes are not large enough to make concrete arguments about anyone’s performance. We can, however, begin to identify interesting trends that have developed over the past three weeks and track them to see… [More]
Haven’t done one of these in a while; you all have been subjected to my crazy labor rants, stats excursions, and sessions of throwing-spaghetti-on-the-wall. Lucky for you, a part of my community service agreement (we won’t go there) requires that I have the decency to… [More]
Right-hander Zack Greinke dazzled on Saturday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals, pulling the Brewers into a 1-1 series tie and giving them a chance to pull out a series win on Easter Sunday. However, it was not meant to be. Lance Lynn baffled the Brewers in… [More]

Doug Davis is about to return from injury, and so his return to the starting rotation is imminent. Given his 7.56 ERA, it will likely be a bit of an unwelcome return. However, Davis is the victim of a ridiculous .415 BABIP which is simply… [More]
The Brewers will enter this week’s series with Pittsburgh with a 5-7 record – certainly slightly disappointing for a team with the ability to contend. The scapegoat is easy to find – the pitching staff. So far, Milwaukee pitchers have allowed a 6.06 ERA –… [More]
Today, the Brewers will be playing Ryan Braun in LF, Jim Edmonds in CF, and Corey Hart in RF. In their last seasons (’09 for Braun/Hart, and ’08 for Edmonds), this group combined for a -33.5 UZR. This is probably the worst outfield defense that… [More]
