Triple play keys Milwaukee’s defensive dominance of Dodgers

The Crew turned a slick triple play and added four double plays to help them seal a 3-0 victory at Miller Park on Monday night. In winning 17 of 19, the Brewers have pushed themselves to 20 games over .500 and six games ahead in the NL Central...

Brew Crew Turns Three (!)
Man, what a huge night for us baseball geeks! We got two super-rare things to cheer about in one night.
Aside from Jim Thome crushing homers 599 AND 600, the Brewers had a little awesomeness up their sleeves as well. In their 3-0 win over the Dodgers, they turned their sixth triple play in team history. With two on and no outs, James Loney grounded up the middle, which Josh Wilson...

Mired in Misery: Dodgers Find New Way to Lose
Every time you think the Dodgers can’t get any worse, they feel the need to remind you otherwise.
In a 3-0 loss to Milwaukee, James Loney committed possibly the only thing the Boys in Blue have yet to see: a GITP. That’s right, a “T,” as in “triple.” The Brewers recorded three outs with one swing of Loney’s bat to end the second inning, thanks...

To trade (for a shortstop) or not to trade, that is the question
To say that Brewers nation is fed up with Yuniesky Betancourt would be like saying drugs made Lindsay Lohan less attractive. It's a gross understatement and it doesn't even tap the surface of what's really going on and what people are thinking. People are tired of Yuni and his bad throws and his one pitch at-bats and everything else he can't seem to do right. There...

The Brewer Shortstop Problem™
During last week’s Very Important Event at SABR 41, Sam Miller of the OC Register noted that one of the deficiencies of the current Angels team is the abundance of average-ish players on the roster. Despite the fact that the Anaheimers sit only a single game out of first place at the All-Star break, their playoff chances are impaired by a lack of obviously upgradeable positions...
