I am pleased to announce the creation of the blog The First Out At Third.

The First Out At Third is dedicated to the Milwaukee Brewers with a sabermetric twist. It was created by Justin Schultz, a die-hard Milwaukee Brewers fan from Wisconsin. He is also a featured writer for Beyond the Box Score, and was previously the editor of FanSided’s own Brewers blog Reviewing the Brew.

The name of this site was inspired by the aggressive and sometimes silly baserunning nature of the Brewers, but this is why Milwaukee fans drink, so I guess it’s okay.

The First Out At Third isn’t your typical run-of-the-mill baseball blog. While it focuses on the Brewers, our main goal is to bring you useful and entertaining information by using sabermetrics. We hope to inform, inspire and broaden your knowledge of advanced statistics as they become more and more prevalent in today’s game. You won’t find mundane game recaps here, so if that’s something you crave, feel free to click away.

Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
