- Brewers WinExp: 50%
Go Brewers!

A pox on the next person who buys into this Righty Curse
This line is too good to not hit better than they are against right hand pitchers.
What is the ratio of right handed pitchers to left handed pitchers in the MLB My guess is over 3:1 they better figure this out now or this season is shot before it starts.
but then again Ned Yost is still the Brewers manager so the season is most likely shot already
Sigh
Its all about the Bullpen this season that is the key.

I agree
If I’m recalling correctly, the only left-handed bats we lost from last season are Johnny Estrada and Geoff Jenkins. Considering their current replacements, Kendall and Kapler, have been two of the better hitters on the team to start the season, the whole righty-on-righty excuse can’t really stand.
Ned Yost's Brewers: Braun Over Brains

I don't think there's a curse
and you’re absolutely correct in saying that they should hit a whole lot better. I do think they struggle against right handers who are the softer throwers and use more movement. I would call them “junky” but that isn’t the best descriptor. I just can’t think of a better one right now.

I never thought I'd say this
but boy, I wish Gabe Kapler were playing.

I haven't seen a CV start yet this year
They have all been either weekday day games, or non FSN games so far.
Tonight “WMLW means I have an opportunity to watch the bucks”. Declined, w/o thanks.

Jennings
Gave up about 9 in one inning one time last year with the Astros, so he must have had a few pitches.

I remember when Bill Wegman couldn’t get an out in the first inning in 1995.
He retired.

Maybe
It’s like the Bucks, and Melvin has a secret cadre of sports fan lawyers that make decisions (though to be accurate, it would need to be Mark A that has that secret cadre)...
