Brewers: Pitching Staff Among League’s Best in Team Strikeouts
The Brewers pitching staff has been a pleasant surprise in 2020. Opposing batters, who often end their at bats with a strikeout, likely disagree. In the modern era of baseball their are two statistical categories that seem to be on the rise each and every year: home runs and strike outs.

Series Preview: Kansas City Royals @ Milwaukee Brewers
Photo by Duane Burleson/ The Brewers’ last home series of 2020 could be a trap The Brewers took 3 of their first 5 games against the St. Louis Cardinals in the last week, which helped them close the gap on the Cardinals in the standings — they’re now just a half-game behind them in the NL Central race entering the weekend. The problem, though, is that the Cincinnati Reds have suddenly started winning. Thanks in part to the Brewers knocking off the Cardinals three times — combined with their 5-game winning streak — has Cincinnati in second place heading into the last week or so...

Rob Manfred’s desire to permanently expand the playoffs is dumb and bad
Everyone is angry about this stupid idea. | Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports Teams like the Brewers would no longer have any incentive to try any harder than they have this year I like it when the Milwaukee Brewers play well enough to make it into the playoffs. It hasn’t happened nearly as much as I’d like in the 32 years I’ve been alive. I would like it to happen more. But the idea of permanently expanding the playoffs to 16 teams — 8 in each league — is so bad and dumb that I can’t even bring myself to support it, even on the basis of the Brewers making the playoffs...
