After the jump, an analysis of the system's complete games in 2012 (as we all know, the Big Brewers don't have any, and the Timber Rattlers have had 2 in the past two days.)
There have been 14 complete games in the US-based Brewers organization this year. Of those, 9 were in 7-inning doubleheaders. 1 was Brian Baker's 4.2 IP rain-shortened loss on 5/29.
9-Inning Complete Games

| Jimmy Nelson | Brevard County | 5/18 | 2-1 (L) |
| Hiram Burgos | Huntsville | 7/24 | 6-1 |
| Chad Pierce | Wisconsin | 9/6 | 4-0 |

Doubleheader Complete Games
| Pitcher | Team | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Fiers | Nashville | 5/14 | 5-0 |
| Evan Anundsen | Huntsville | 6/3 | 4-0 |
| Josh Stinson | Huntsville | 6/8 | 4-2 (6 IP, L) |
| Seth McClung | Nashville | 6/9 | 1-0 (6 IP, L) |
| Taylor Jungmann | Brevard County | 6/10 | 3-2 |
| Jed Bradley | Brevard County | 6/27 | 8-1 |
| Wily Peralta | Nashville | 7/21 | 4-2 (6 IP, L) |
| Mark Williams | Wisconsin | 8/10 | 2-0 |
| Drew Gagnon | Brevard County | 8/28 | 6-0 |
Gagnon is unusual in that he had 3 8-inning starts in 2012. If there's a trend here, it's that top prospects tend to be trusted; McClung's CG is an anomaly (of Nashville's minor league vets, Baker didn't have a real CG this year and Vargas didn't pitch in one despite having 5 starts where he pitched 7 or more innings.)
