Yesterday's Results
Courtesy of three home runs (two of them by second basemen!), the Brewers beat the Rockies in their series opener 7-4. Derek has your full recap here.
Cram Session
- The Brewers series' finale against the Nationals was marred a little bit by a benches clearing altercation involving Carlos Gomez and Ian Desmond. Things cleared up quickly, but we took a look at whether either player was really in the wrong.
- The Brewers had a scout at a David Price start, but could he actually have been there to look at other Rays players? Derek takes a look at other potential Tampa Bay trade targets.
- There was an enormous shake-up in the Brewers organization yesterday as they lost Irving Falu on waivers to the Padres. This will have enormous ramifications moving forward.
- Derek also had the Rockies series preview.
- The Brewers have their best-ever record 81 games into the season, according to Adam McCalvy
- McCalvy also had a look at the Brewers' second base platoon, saying that Gennett's hot hitting is unlikely to shift much playing time and Weeks is making a big impression despite limited time.
- Reviewing the Brew takes a look at ticket sales for the Brewers/Rockies series, noting ticket prices are 45% below normal.
- Disciples of Uecker says the Brewers need to be careful this upcoming trade season.
