A number of bloggers are responding to an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel noting how the Brewers have sucked against decent competition. For example:
As it typically the case with this blog, it's a good piece. But it seems to be based on a belief that all losses are created equal -- I don't think that's the case. I didn’t expect the Brewers to win all three series v. STL and PHL, but I don’t know how anyone can be sanguine when Milwaukee played 2-8 ball over those three sets, especially when seven of those games were at home. I mean, how about going 5-5 against those teams? Not great, but a showing good enough to argue that they are on par with those clubs.
As it is, the evidence suggests that at this time the Brewers are a good team, but not one likely to have a bright playoff future. To me, no amount of cutting the season stats or shaping past outcomes is going to change the results of those recent 10 games played against good teams.
