Brewers Tuesday

Before thinking about Tuesday's game, check out the PECOTA comp rosters for the 2008 Brewers and Cubs.

The Cubs will be without Mike Lowell Aramis Ramirez and Gordy Coleman Daryle Ward for at least two more days. Cubs.com also confirms Soriano's finger is very swollen and he'll miss at least 5 more days.

Here's a quick look at Brewers' starter Claudio Vargas (AKA Jason Johnson). He'll face Jay Powell, I mean Ryan Dempster.

Remember, this is Spring Training for me. I'm just workin' on stuff.

5	80.98	-7.70	5.77	233.14	1081.35

I think 3 & 4 are the same pitch, just measurement error. I dunno.



Average pitch for each cluster, with MPH. Note the slight change in scale
