The Fall of Gerardo Parra’s Baserunning
As the Brewers move deeper into July, they will start to move some of their expendable pieces, in the hopes that they can gain something useful for the years to come. My colleague Derek Harvey profiled one such piece, Gerardo Parra, and concluded that Parra would return more in a trade now than he did when the Brewers […]
Game Ninety Recap: Dodgers 4, Brewers 3
TOP PLAY (WPA) All season long, the Brewers have had one of baseball’s best bullpens. Their bullpen DRA ranked fifth in the majors coming into Sunday’s game, and they were 25-2 when they have led at the beginning of the seventh inning and 30-0 when leading in the eighth inning. However, two of the club’s best relievers […]
Museums, Kind Histories and the Selig Experience
The Brewers are on some kind of hot streak right now. They entered Sunday’s game having won nine out of their last 12 games and have outscored opponents 79-45 in that span. The offense is clicking, scoring over seven runs per game, and the pitching has been much improved — particularly rookie Taylor Jungmann, who […]

Game Eighty-Nine Recap: Brewers 7, Dodgers 1
TOP PLAY (WPA): With two outs in the third inning, Carlos Gomez stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and the game tied at 0-0. The Brewers’ center fielder got under a hanging slider from Brandon Beachy — preventing a monstrous grand slam — but ultimately got enough of it to bounce it off the […]
Game Eighty-Eight Recap: Dodgers 3, Brewers 2

The inning started with both Milwaukee and Los Angeles scoreless after four frames. On a 1-0 count, Jean Segura slapped a grounder up the middle for a single. In the next […]
What’s The Matter With Matt Garza?
Baseball fans have come to expect certain things from Matt Garza: a few gems, a few meltdowns, a lot of intensity, an occasional trip to the DL, and the final stat line of a useful number-three starter. From 2008, when he became a fixture in Tampa Bay’s rotation, through 2014, his first season in Milwaukee, Garza’s […]

Appreciating Adam Lind
I’d like to apologize ahead of time for bringing up the dark years at first base in Milwaukee. From 2013-2014, the Brewers had the worst production from that position you’re likely to ever see again. This past offseason, they decided to try something new. Instead of putting shortstops, outfielders, catchers and third baseman at the […]
