List of Milwaukee Brewers Opening Day starting pitchers[edit]

This list was modeled after List of Washington Nationals Opening Day starting pitchers, which was recently promoted as a featured list. In addition to the same thorough sourcing as the previous article, this new article includes a separate table summarizing the starting pitchers and their record of wins and losses.

Comment - The Brewers made the playoffs this year, so they now have three appearances, not two. Might want to add that to the table as well. Giants2008 (17-14) 20:07, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Done A mind-boggling oversight that has been corrected. Alansohn (talk) 21:43, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
  • Change the all-cap title for ref #10 to sentence-case or title-case.
  • Otherwise, sources look good.

  • With the team's move to Milwaukee in 1970, Lew Krausse Jr. was charged with the loss in a game at Milwaukee County Stadium vs. the Angels. - "was charged." So what does this mean? They accused him of it or what? - Reply an old baseball colloquialism, but the term appears in multiple Wikipedia articles, including Loss (baseball).
  • Steve Woodard received a rather unusual no-decision in 2000, when the team's Opening Day game against the Cincinnati Reds was called in the sixth inning due to rain, with the score tied at 3. This was the first Opening Day tie game since 1965.[7] - "rather" is not adhering to a Neutral POV. - Done
  • In a special format created for that season, the Brewers were the second-half champion and lost the AL Division Series to the first-half champion New York Yankees in five games. - would benefit having "New York Yankees" in between commas. - Done
  • In the 2008 season, Ben Sheets was the Opening Starter in a no-decision, while Yovani Gallardo started and lost the first game of the 2008 National League Division Series which was won by the Philadelphia Phillies in four games. - comma after series. - Done
  • The final score should be in a {{sort}} template. I see it as having the score to the left in the template, since that is what the table sorts by. - Done
  • I would change the Note column to a Ref column. - Done
  • The seasons in the "Pitchers" table shouldn't be sortable since there are entries with two series and are separate with a comma. - Reply sorting by this field puts the list in order by the pitcher's first Opening Day start, which is a reasonably meaningful sort sequence.

  • Support - my review addressed to meet WP:WIAFL.--SRX 00:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Consistent with the other Opening Day starting pitcher lists that are Featured Lists, and better than several. Rlendog (talk) 03:37, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
