The Thursday Thinker: Brewer Playoff Winners

Here's a quick hint: Shaun Marcum is not a correct answer.

This morning's edition of Today In Brewer History discussed Randy Lerch, one of just eight pitchers in franchise history to hurl six or more innings in a playoff game. I neglected to mention it in the post, but Lerch wasn't that game (1981 ALDS Game 3)'s winning pitcher.

Thirteen pitchers in franchise history have won at least one playoff game for the Brewers. How many can you name in five minutes?

The rules remain the same: Post your score in the comments but do not comment on any specific answer until after 6 pm Central time, so everyone gets a chance to try it out without having it spoiled for them. And, of course, there's no reason to cheat here, because there aren't any prizes.

It's possible for some of you to get all of these. If you do, post your time along with your score in the comments.

Have fun, and don't forget to post your score in the comments!

If you've finished that one and you're looking for more Brewer Sporcle today, here are this offseason's other quizzes:

Finally, a programming note: By this time next week we'll be discussing spring training games, so this will be this offseason's final Thinker. I hope you've enjoyed this winter's quizzes, and it's a feature I'm considering bringing back next winter.

missed an older one.

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

Got all the 'in my lifetime' winners

not so good on the earlier ones.

Really enjoy this feature. I do almost all of them, though I am mostly too embarrassed to post my scores. Keep’em going.

I feel like I should have gotten one of the two I missed. Not too embarrassed about the other.

I have up with over two minutes left. Got all the recent ones… just drew a blank on who I missed from the older group.

Would have been eleven if I hadn’t kept spelling it wrong…“he’s a convicted felon isn’t he Monty?”

Probably wouldn’t have gotten the other 1982 guys with five hours to think about it.

Although officially 11 because I typed in a correct answer, but I must have spelled it wrong

My goodness.

Never would have gotten the one I missed
