When the Brewers made the playoffs few years back. They were terrible the beginning of the year and came out strong. The real question Is why can’t they stay consistent throughout the season? What’s happening in the club house behind close doors that we don’t know about? Something has to change. Why is St. Louis consistent every year? What are they doing right and the Brewers can’t?

Thames is also (slightly) above average against LHP, so I’m not sure that explains the huge difference between early in the game and late in the game, at least not moreso than other teams’ struggles.
