In today's game against the Cubs, the Brewers did something that, honestly, their lineup isn't really optimized to do. They drew a whole lot of walks.
Specifically, they received 14 free passes, along with three hit-by-pitches. This is only the third game in Brewers history that they have drawn at least 14 walks. During both of the other two games, they walked fifteen times. I don't know when those two games were because I'm not a Baseball-Reference subscriber. I should be. I use it enough. Perhaps I'll do that tomorrow.
No players were hit by a pitch during the other two 14+ walk games.
Here is a table of all the walks and hit-by-pitches the Brewers had today:
| Player | Walks | HBP |
| Nyjer Morgan | 1 | 0 |
| Rickie Weeks | 1 | 2 |
| Ryan Braun | 4 | 1 |
| Aramis Ramirez | 2 | 0 |
| George Kottaras | 3 | 0 |
| Jonathan Lucroy | 1 | 0 |
| Cesar Izturis | 2 | 0 |
What a nice table! I hope to see more of the same!
