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.
