Eight days later, that lead was cut to a mere one-and-one-half games over the Cubs. In that span, the Brewers won three of eight games, scoring 31 runs, an average of 3.8 runs/game...1495Mon, 11 Sep 2023 00:58:39 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/week-in-review-holding-steady-r1493/Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 3-3 (79-63) Runs Scored: 33 Runs Surrendered: 20 Standing: 1st in NL Central (3.0 GA) *** Game 137 | PIT 4, MIL 2 Game 138 | MIL 7, PIT 3 Game 139 | PIT 5, MIL 4 Game 140 | MIL 8, NYY 2 Game 141 | MIL 9, NYY 2 Game 142 | NYY 4, MIL...1493Sun, 10 Sep 2023 22:05:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/counsells-aggressive-masterful-managing-help-the-brewers-defeat-the-yankees-r1490/  Counsell's confusing late-game decisions in Pittsburgh Wednesday played a massive role in the Brewers' series defeat to the Pirates.

The 2023 Milwaukee Brewers constantly play tight games, so Williams rarely has any margin for error.

Manager Craig Counsell said, “The hope is that (Houser) will miss a couple of starts and then be ready to rejoin the rota...1477Thu, 07 Sep 2023 14:10:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-the-brewers-arent-rocking-the-boat-with-their-rotation-r1484/Since the All-Star break, no pitching staff in MLB has allowed a lower expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA) than the Brewers, according to Statcast.
