The 2008 Milwaukee Brewers season was the 39th season for the Brewers in Milwaukee, their 11th in the National League, and their 40th overall.

Contents

The season opened with optimism as the team attempted to build on the success of the 2007 season – their first winning season since 1992.

With 12 games remaining in the regular season, manager Ned Yost was fired and replaced with bench coach Dale Sveum. Under Sveum, the team completed the regular season 7–5, finishing second place in the National League Central with a record of 90–72 and winning the NL Wild Card. With the Wild Card berth, the team clinched its first playoff berth in 26 years. The season was highlighted by the midseason trade for ace pitcher CC Sabathia, who posted a 1.65 ERA in 130.2 innings pitched and won all but two starts.

In the NLDS, the Brewers were defeated 3–1 by the Philadelphia Phillies, who went on to win the World Series.

Regular season

The Brewers played 20 extra inning games, the most of any MLB team in 2008. [1]

They also set all-time franchise highs in hits (1,566), runs (908), batting average (.277), on-base percentage (.347), and slugging percentage (.459). In the NLDS, however, they fell in four games to the New York Mets on Todd Pratt's infamous home run.

This resulted in the American League and National League having 15 teams. However, in order for MLB officials to continue primarily intraleague play, both leagues would need to carry a number of teams that was divisible by two, so the decision was made to move one club from the AL Central to the NL Central.
