What a series, I'm impressed we took all three. Just exhausting games, each one.

55 total runs scored in the series...Brewers 30, Indians 25.

 

This is the fifth road series the Brewers have swept in the past year (@SF, @STL, @PIT, @STL, @CLE) after failing to sweep a road series from July 1, 2004 to July 20, 2008. Definitely one of the more memorable series in quite some time.

That was the most wild, exciting series in recent memory. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take...it's only June but it feels like September.

 

There are still concerns, as the starting pitchers as still only going 5-6 innings and the bullpen is going to blow up before the end of the season at this pace. However, the resurgence of Hart, Hardy, and to an extent Hall, Kendall, and Cameron is just huge.

 

Another interesting theme to consider is the team's recent road success compared to the bad home stand. It could be a coincidence, but I'm curious if some of our hitters are putting too much pressure on themselves in front of the home fans.

Now I love the series outcome, don't get me wrong; but I think if we never had a series like this again my heart would be one happy organ.... or at least less-pissed.

Stetter's first career save, by the way. He is the 127th player to record a save for the Brewer franchise.

These games make me fondly recall the great style of the AL years. Someone use to post here that he was pro-DH and pro-artificial turf. This kind of series would have been up his ally.

 

Other note, does Eric Wedge try? I'm not sure what he really did this series that had any outcome on anything.

He influenced Wednesday's outcome by turning to Greg Aquino?

 

I'm sure it's not as rare as it feels, but seeing an ex-Brewer who was let go for poor performance continue to perform poorly vs. Milwaukee was very nice and novel.
