With their success at home, if any team can pull off the improbable, it's the Brewers. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/game6pitching.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/game6pitching.html?28022 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 09:25:00 CDT It would be an understatement to say Zack Greinke did not pitch well in Game 1 of the NLCS. His final line of 6+ IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, and 6 K probably looks worse than he actually pitched, but no one in their right mind would say he had a good outing. If you want to rate him using Bill James' Game Score, Greinke's mark of 36 ranks as the 6th-worst start in Brewers postseason history, and the worst since CC Sabathia's flop in the 2008 NLDS. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/greinkecurve.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/greinkecurve.html?27929 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 09:49:00 CDT Zack Greinke became just the fifth Brewers starter to ever the 200-strikeout mark, joining Yovani Gallardo, Ben Sheets, Doug Davis and Teddy Higuera. The fact that Greinke reached that mark despite not making his first start until May 4 makes the feat even more impressive. And, of everyone in the 200-K club, Greinke needed the fewest innings pitched to do it. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/greinkeks.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/greinkeks.html?27763 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:02:00 CDT Over the weekend, Ryan Braun became just the second Brewers player ever to compile 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in the same season. Even if you don't put much stock into counting statistics, the fact that it's been over 40 years since the last time put up a 30-30 season makes it noteworthy. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/braunbest.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/braunbest.html?27645 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 14:21:00 CDT The Brewers have been scuffling a bit over the past two weeks, which is leading many to worry that this year's team is on its way to a September skid similar to the one the 2008 team faced. While it would be easy to panic, there really isn't much reason for Brewers fans to worry. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/brewerslastmonth.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/brewerslastmonth.html?27582 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 16:05:00 CDT Whenever a trade is made, there's always a lot of time spent trying to figure out who "won" the deal. Rare are the ones where everyone can agree that both teams win. The Shaun Marcum-Brett Lawrie trade may end up being one of those deals. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/marcumlawrie.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/marcumlawrie.html?27466 Mon, 5 Sep 2011 15:37:00 CDT For the first time since 1982 (when the team had six players receive MVP votes), the Brewers have two legitimate MVP candidates in Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. So here's the question -- if you could only choose one MVP candidate from the Brewers, who would you pick between the two? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/brewersmvp11.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jaymeslangrehr/brewersmvp11.html?27421 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:03:00 CDT
