I'm Starting Something Different

It's time to try something new.

I started this Substack in August 2025. Since then, I’ve somehow surpassed 550 subscribers. I have no idea how or why. I’m actually judging you all a bit.

I began this side project because I missed writing about baseball and wanted to get my thoughts and spreadsheets out in the world in my own way. I didn’t expect a following.

But here you are — 568 of you. And for that, I thank you.

However, I do have an announcement.

I’ve created a new Substack called The Brewers Notebook.

The Brewers Notebook is a Milwaukee Brewers game recap page for fans who want something unique after every game. The goal is to bring something different to the space through daily recaps with personality, humor, analysis, frustration, and overreactions from someone slowly unraveling over 162 games.

This will not be a traditional Brewers game recap page. You are not going to get inning-by-inning summaries written by someone who opened the MLB app, watched the highlights, and called it analysis.

You’ll get daily Brewers recaps with personality.

Why am I making this change?

While I’m not shutting down Baseball Spreadsheets (posts will just be more infrequent), I have the overwhelming urge to turn my Brewers rants at the TV to thoughts on paper. And I think this idea could be something. I believe Brewers coverage is lacking, and I want to aid it rather than harp against it.

So, I’m asking you to join me on this new venture.

I realize that the majority of you aren’t Milwaukee Brewers fans, and that I’m moving from a broad, popular subject to a niche topic. But if you like my writing style, my humor, or anything else about Baseball Spreadsheets, I would love to welcome you to The Brewers Notebook.

The Brewers Notebook is live now, with the first recap dropping after Monday’s game. The first week of recaps (May 18-May 24) will be completely free. After that, Thursday recaps will stay free while the rest move behind a paywall.

I want to move behind a paywall for one simple reason.

I want to see if I can. I want to see if I can turn this into something.

If I don’t, I don’t. I have literally zero expectations.

But I’m all about trying.

Thanks again for your readership. As I said before, Baseball Spreadsheets isn’t dying. It’s just going to take longer naps.
