Challenge accepted! Looked at Molitor's '87, Yount's '82, Braun's 2007, and 2011, but in all these seasons, these guys were pretty consistent in both the first and second halves. Yelich was good in the first half this year. Nothing remarkable. He's been stupidly white-hot unstoppable in the 2nd half. I think you might be right that this is unmatchable in Brewers history. EDIT #2, I found a close one! Sixto Lezcano in 1979 put up a 2nd half slash line of .316/.403/.673 for an OPS+ of 193, compared to Yelich's 2nd half OPS+ of 207. That might be as close as it gets. -
I know there was one year that the Tigers starting 3 all hit over .380, and thought there might be a chance all hit over .400, but wasn't sure. I knew in 1894, the Phillies offense was ridiculous, and Billy Hamilton (the good Billy Hamilton) hit over .400, but I wasn't sure on the other 2, so I was guessing. I ALSO know in the 1800's, you were allowed to chop a ball foul, but if it hit at least once in fair territory, it was considered a fair ball. I don't know when that rule was changed, and there were a lot of batters that took advantage of this very stupid rule.

I didn't look it up, but it was an educated guess. I CALL SHENANIGANS. Promise I'm not cheating man. I might look it up after answers are provided, but there's no fun in looking it up beforehand.

Didn't they switch to a more lively ball or something in 1894? I know run scoring in that season was way way way up. The Phillies scored 1179 runs (in 132 games) and had 6 players go over 100 runs scored. Crazy.
-
Sorry. What is the only team to have all 3 outfielders hit .400? Early 1900's Tigers? Or the 1894 Phillies?
-
Estrada has/had zero triples AND zero stolen bases. Wowza.
-
I had to check on Kratz, as you could guess 0 career triples. He has 844 career PA . all-time leader for PA among players with 0 career triples is a former Brewer catcher...any guesses? Jesse Levis?
-
He's already warm.
-
At least the Moustakas homerun didn't almost kill a fan.
-
I can't believe Brault doesn't have any friends.... nobody that said when he was going to get any of those tattoos "no bud, that's horrible... don't do it".
-
There is someone in that crowd having a great time.
-
Aggie's locked in when he's driving the ball to RF like that. Man, that's good to see going into the last week of the season.
-
That is a hell of a throw from Kratz from his knees. Wowsers.

2018 Standings and Playoff Race Discussion

Nothing says team unity like a bunch of guys wearing hoodies that have corporate manufactured inspirational quotes on them that absolutely did not come about organically over the course of a season -
I think mostly people are just appreciating what he's done for the team this year. I don't think anyone is saying he's an awesome pitcher, or that he's going to continue to be a 2.50 ERA guy. He's really come through for the Brewers this year when they needed him to, no more, no less.
-
And there it is from Stearns.....Braun's back has been giving him some issues "For a while now"
-
8 of his 30 dingers surrendered are in the first inning. 14 of his 30 (almost half!) are in the first or 2nd inning. Perception matches reality.
-
*sigh* I mean, it's a broken record, but dude is REALLY giving up too many dongers.
-
The Brewers would never have a AAA team in Wisconsin. They'd be cannibalizing their own attendance. People in Madison are probably at least a small percentage of Brewers season ticket and walk-up sales.

Also, thanks! Billy Jo was one of the guys I was like "THIS DUDE IS GONNA BE HUUUUGE when he gets to Milwaukee!!!!" His 1985 El Paso stats were outrageous, and of course little me had no idea what "ballpark effect" was, and I was just super disappointed that he made it to the show and completely flamed out. . There were so many guys that went through El Paso that put up monster numbers. Glenn Braggs, Joey Meyer, Billy Jo, all went through the same year. Glenn Braggs..... that dude was freakin' ripped. He should have/could have put up some good power numbers. I remember after he left MLB he went over to Japan and had a couple of big power seasons. Ugh. So many disappointments.

I grew up in Janesville, (and still live here....hah), and used to go to TONS of Beloit Brewers games (they were the Brewers then, not the Snappers), and loved seeing our future mediocre players file through. Good times. Billy Jo was "my guy" though. Todd Dunn had an apartment right next to my dad's place. Apparently he was a turd. Hahahaha.

This post made me curious obviously. Zoilo Versailles won the AL MVP in 1965 with a .273/.319/.462 slash line. Yuck and a half. Marty Marion won the NL award in 1944 with a .267/324/362 slash line. He must have been a HECK of a defender..... Nice digging, RoCo. Also, digging the Billy Jo Robidoux avatar. Versalles had a nice season in '65, but a sub .800 OPS is still not an MVP caliber season, even in an offensively depressed era like the 60's. I also know that prior to 1930, players that had won a previous MVP were ineligible to win it again, which is why Babe Ruth only ever won MVP one time (what a joke). This is probably why you have a guy like Roger Peckinpaugh winning it in 1925. I still have no explanation for Marty Marion taking it over any of several more worthy candidates in 44. Marion is listed as having 3+ fielding WAR, but that's based solely off of fielding percentage and chances per game vs league average chances per game. I have no doubt the guy was probably a fine fielder, but there's no way to know if he was THAT GOOD. I just have a hard time taking a sub -700 OPS guy and saying "yeah, that's the MVP" when you have some .900+ OPS guys right behind him who are putting up 7-8-9 WAR offensive seasons. I get it that SS defense is important, but it just doesn't close the gap that much.

His losses: 8 innings 2 ER 7 innings 1 ER 6 innings 3 ER 6 innings 3 ER 8 innings 2 ER 7 innings 3 ER 8 innings 2 ER 6 innings 1 ER 7 innings 2 ER He has only thrown two games (not including the early May games where something weird must have happened) where it wasn't a QS. They were games 1 and 3 of his season! One was opening day where he went 5 2/3 of one run ball and his third game he gave up 4 runs in 6 innings. Funny enough they won both of those games. He's the anti-Wayne Franklin......
