Much has been said about the state of the Brewers’ rotation, as the general struggles for Milwaukee have been lamented ad nauseam. Fans do little to celebrate as the rotation ranks near the bottom in the most pertinent pitching stats. 2015 ERA/FIP/WAR Rank ERA 4.80 28th FIP 4.43 26th WAR +3.3 27th Despite the deplorable […]

Injury Data On Brewers (Part 2): Pitchers
On Monday, I looked at which Brewers position players can be labeled as injury-prone. Today, I’ll move on to determine which pitchers on the Brewers can be labeled as injury-prone, and a little more. While injuries definitely suck, pitcher injuries are the worst – especially if it’s an elbow or shoulder injury, as those can be […]
Game Eighty-Seven Recap: Milwaukee 6, Atlanta 5
TOP PLAY (WPA) The answer is so obvious that I considered putting something silly in this space to see if people were paying attention. Maybe Jonathan Lucroy gunning down Pedro Ciriaco or the first Carlos Gomez home run or Nick Markakis doing things in the outfield! However, after what our mother site did yesterday (I think […]

Prospect Profile: Marcos Diplan
In five June starts, former Milwaukee ace Yovani Gallardo compiled a stellar 0.54 ERA with nine walks and 25 strikeouts for the Texas Rangers. While depressed Brewers fans might view Gallardo’s month-long dominance as another dash of salt in this festering wound of a 2015 season, optimistic and forward-looking fans, buoyed by a recent stretch […]
Michael Blazek’s Balanced, Killer Arsenal
Like his relief compatriots Francisco Rodriguez and Will Smith (each of whom BP Milwaukee has covered previously), Michael Blazek has shined this season with a sub-two ERA and peripherals to match. Unlike the other two, though, Blazek hadn’t accomplished much prior to 2015, and because of that, he perhaps hasn’t received much time in the spotlight. […]

Don’t Judge Khris Davis For What He Isn’t
Khris Davis has missed much of this season due to a torn meniscus. He’s currently in the middle of a rehab stint with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and is set to make his return to the active roster sometime this week. In his stead, Gerardo Parra has been enjoying a career season offensively and is one […]
Luck & The Anatomy Of Winning
Heading into Monday’s three-game series against the Atlanta Braves, the Milwaukee Brewers had won eight-straight and were 9-1 in their last 10 contests. They gained 4.5 games on the NL Wild Card since June 22 and suddenly looked like the team many people expected to see in 2015 — a team that scores plenty of runs, while […]
Game Eighty-Four Recap: Braves 5, Brewers 3
TOP PLAY (WPA) The Braves wasted no time breaking Kyle Lohse last night, touching up the beleaguered Milwaukee starter straight-away in the first inning. With a runner on second and one out, Lohse hung a slider and Atlanta first baseman Kelly Johnson promptly sent it into orbit, a no-doubter into the right field bleachers (+.165 WPA). And with […]
