That’s what I do. If I don’t keep the memory of obscure former Brewers alive, who the hell will?  Ernest Riles made his Major League debut for the Brewers in 1985 and had a solid rookie campaign,...133Tue, 17 May 2022 01:07:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-marlins-back-to-winning-ways-r135/  Game 1 -- Brewers 2, Marlins 1 https://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore/_/gameId/401354727 Corbin Burnes continued his streak of dominant starts for the Brewers in the early going of the 2022 campaign tonight against the Marlins.

This could be why Milwaukee has the chasm of difference in runs scored against the lower tier of teams versus playoff competitors.
