Who used to treat the Brewers like the Crew treats the Pirates

I was trying to remember if anyone had ever owned the Brewers like they currently own the Pirates at this moment in time.  I mean we are reaching level where the Crew is treating the Bucs like a prison snitch in a prison riot.

 

First team that jumps to my mind is the Braves.  It seems like there was a stretch where the crew was just their bitch.  No 17 game streak but not too many wins for a long while.

 

Any other teams jump to mind?

Yeah, they're all AL teams...

I looked it up just to prove my theory…

Longest Brewer losing streaks against one team…

Royals 12 (July 1973 to August 1974)

Twins, Orioles, Red Sox 10

Longest Brewer winning streaks against one team (after the Bucs, of course)

Marlins 12 (April 1998 to May 1999)
Orioles, Rangers 10

To add...

we actually have been worse against the Dodgers than the Braves… but not by much.

Wait

so we have one of the longest win streaks AND losing streaks against the Orioles? Weird.

Plus, the Orioles used to BE the Brewers

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

The Brewers went 3-13 against the Cardinals in 2003

That was pretty miserable.

Currently

Mark A owns the Brewers

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
