The Day by Day Database now contains team post-season reports. For example, you can see how Milwaukee’s investment in starting pitching didn’t pay off, and how the St. Louis relievers out-performed their starters in the NLCS.

I wonder how much Tony La Russa is going to be able to play the match-up game with Texas. Milwaukee and St. Louis played each other 18 times during the regular season, so Tony had a good idea of the strength and weaknesses of the Brewers hitters. He doesn’t have that intimate knowledge of the Texas hitters, only the scouting reports.
