2021 to 2022 Brewers, What Happened?

Fred Willard (RIP) is one of my all time favorites & this hour long loop of him repeating his “Hey! Wha Happen?!?” catch phrase from A Mighty Wind might be one of my favorite things on the internet…

With that as an inspiration & jumping off point I thought I’d try to figure out What Happened to the make the 2022 Brewers lose nine more games than their 2021 predecessors.

To do so, I broke the roster down into four categories - returning hitters, returning pitchers, outgoing/incoming hitters and outgoing/incoming pitchers.

tl,dr version is that twelve returning pitchers combined for -11.4 rWAR compared to 2021, six incoming pitchers combined for -2.4 rWAR compared to the six outgoing pitchers they replaced, ten returning position players combined for +2.5 WAR compared to 2021, and six incoming position players combined for +3.3 WAR compared to the six outgoing position players they replaced.

Will post each category separately below to break things up a little bit.

Lauer +40 IP and and less WAR is a tough one. Hopefully he has a much better year next year.

Yeah, Lauer was solid all year and the 3rd best starter behind Burnes/Woody but he never had that dominant streak like in 2021 where he posted a 1.78 ERA over a 13 start stretch.

He was dominant for a 9 start stretch in April/May. The killer was what he then proceeded to do in June. Otherwise, he was really solid on the year.
