Sports in Perspective
General manager Doug Melvin and the Milwaukee Brewers were one of the busiest teams last offseason, most notably dealing for starting pitchers Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum. But reports from this year’s winter meetings are much quieter for Milwaukee as there isn’t as much money available and a lot of the free agents wouldn’t fit [...]
The Milwaukee Brewers finished their 2011 season on a down note, with a 12-6 loss Sunday that clinched the series for St. Louis, but the Brewers can be proud of one of the most successful seasons in franchise history and look forward to the future of the team. To stave off the bitterness left from [...]
After they managed to take Game Four in St. Louis, the Brewers are back in Milwaukee for the final two games of the NLCS, down three games to two. The Brewers send Shaun Marcum to the mound Sunday night despite his pathetic playoff performance so far. Marcum has an 11.25 ERA and two losses in [...]
After an action-packed 9-6 Game One victory, the Brewers were put in their place in Game Two when the Cardinals pummeled them by a score of 12-3. Now the series moves to St. Louis for three games, the first of which is tonight at 7:05 p.m. Each team has its ace on the mound, as [...]
The 15 runs scored in Game One of the NLCS were two more than were scored in the last three games of St. Louis’ NLDS matchup with the Phillies, combined. Miller Park was loud and ready for the offensive explosion, as the Brewers continued their dominant play at home, beating the Cardinals 9-6. Both starters [...]
The excitement didn’t come until the end, but after 10 hard-fought innings, the Brewers beat the Diamondbacks 3-2 to move on to the National League Championship Series, winning their first playoff series since 1982. Yovani Gallardo did all you could ask for, allowing just one run in six innings. He went deep in to the [...]
The Brewers were sitting pretty after the first two games of their NLDS matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks. They won both home games, outscoring Arizona 13-5, and looked to be on an offensive tear led by Ryan Braun. But just two away games later and they’re on the brink of elimination. Perhaps the rustling of [...]
First some pitching, then some hitting, and constant “beasting” throughout from the home crowd were all it took for the Brewers to take the opening two games of the NLDS. They head to Arizona up two games to none in the best-of-five series. Milwaukee won the first game Saturday behind eight strong innings from Yovani [...]
Alright, so the return of Arizona 1B Lyle Overbay to the team he started his career with and to play against his former team (when he was so innocent) might not be the biggest storyline for this NLDS matchup. After all, good old Lyle (now a hardened criminal) is only a bench player at this [...]
