Brewers

What often kills any effort for success isn’t what someone or some organization does; it’s what it fails to do.

How would you view a starting pitcher who posted a record of 18-12 with a 3.47 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over the last two years? For most major league teams, that’s a solid #2 starter. For some teams, this starter might be their ace. For the Brewers, though, Eric Lauer is the fourth starter.

There is a considerable gap between a thing being 'factual' and that thing being 'truthful'. Facts can be deployed in the service of understanding. They can just as easily be used to disinform. This is a fact: the Milwaukee Brewers have lost eight games in a row.

Believe it or not, the computers are verifying what your (usually) delusional Auntie Maddie has been saying: the Brewers are in this thing.

With the report date for pitchers and catchers less than a week away, it's time to turn our attention from offseason matters toward the 2023 Milwaukee Brewers season. In doing so, we have to answer one question first: What does this team need to do to call this year a success?

In the early days of the franchise, the Milwaukee Brewers had three Black stars in their lineup, in Cecil Cooper, Ben Oglivie, and George Scott. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, though, their best players were White. In the mid-2000s, Prince Fielder led a revival of Black excellence for the Crew.

Christian Yelich hasn't produced eye-popping raw offensive numbers over the last three seasons. Using a statistic that adjusts his production for the impact of his stolen base skills, though, it's possible that we'll find he's closer to that level than it might appear.

Prior to their game yesterday the Milwaukee Brewers sent third baseman Mike Brosseau to the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain. Taking his place on the active roster was Pablo Reyes, who was recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

Between the chaos of the NBA Trade Deadline and Super Bowl week, it was easy to miss some nuggets of news and information about the Milwaukee Brewers. Here's a Monday morning catch-up.

It takes an entire team to lose eight consecutive games, but some Milwaukee Brewers play a more prominent role. The struggles of the three remaining original starting pitchers had a far-reaching impact on the club losing 10 of 12 games.

The Brewers’ 2023 schedule (and every other team in Major League Baseball) has a new look that makes road trips that much more appealing. So let’s see what we can find.
