Interesting stat I noticed
So, I've been keeping a log of what uniforms the Brewers wear for the website Uni Watch (you can check the log out here if you're interested), and I was going through it. One of the great things about it is, uniform details aside, I've kept track of what pitcher started each day, and whether the Crew won or lost. So, with this information at my fingertips, I thought I might check out how many games the team has won with each pitcher. I've either watched or followed pretty closely every game so far this season, and I figured they'd have done best in games started by Yo, then games started by Bush, Looper, Parra, and Suppan, roughly in that order.
Much to my surprise, I found out that the Brewers actually have the exact same record of 6-3 in each of Gallardo's, Bush's, and Looper's starts. Suppan is basically neck and neck with them, at 6-4. And Parra has, apparently, been the whipping boy, as the team has gone 3-7 in his starts.
Anyway, I just found that interesting: first of all, that the team has strangely won the exact same number of starts for four of its five starters; and second of all, that while I always feel a huge burst of confidence on a Yovani day, the team has really been the same on every day that Manny doesn't start. I definitely would not have guessed that's the case.

where's the correlation to uniform color?
wasn’t that the point of what you were doing? did you find any trends?
starting pitchers pick it
At the beginning of the year, it was Yo and Parra wearing the blue alternates, and Suppan, Bush, and Looper wearing white at home and gray on the road. Now, Parra seems to have switched to white home/gray road, and Looper seems to have switched to wearing blue alts, but we’ll see what he goes with tonight. Why they switched? I have no idea.
As for any correlation between uniform and winning, there doesn’t seem to be much of one; they’re around .500 with all their uniforms, except the home whites, in which they’re 11-6, but that’s probably more a factor of home field advantage, as they’ve worn the white jerseys in 17 out of their 21 home games.

I've heard that the Twins let the pitcher pick the unis
One of the pitchers always picks the sleeveless unis because everybody else hates them. I would do the exact same thing!

It's Livan Hernandez

or Francisco Liriano, or Glen Perkins
now that Livan is gone, someone has to carry on the alt tradition, and it’s usually one of those two.
