Assuming he is healthy, Matt Albers will have a spot on the Opening Day roster for the Milwaukee Brewers.
That revelation, which came from manager Craig Counsell at the outset of Spring Training, was much to the dismay of many fans of our local nine. After all, this is the pitcher who allowed multiple runs in nine of his final 12 outings of 2018 on his way to finishing with a 7.34 ERA across 34 appearances. Albers, of course, was excluded from postseason action.
The end results suggest that the reliever’s 2018 was a total disaster, but really it was a tale of two seasons.
