With just over 10 days to go until the end of the 2019 MLB regular season, the narrative in the National League Central division seems to be a fight to the death between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs.

Some people just never outgrow being a kid in Little League, but for the Milwaukee Brewers talent Trent Grisham, sometimes that is quite alright.

This two-bagger drove in […]

Even though the months of April through October, sometimes with March added in as well, dictate the overall outcome of an MLB team’s regular-season record, do not tell the Brewers that. If they played every month of the season as they do in the month of September, this team would become one of the best […]

In his first start off of the injury list, Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff made the start for the Brew Crew against the San Diego Padres on Sept. 17.

Milwaukee Brewers starting center fielder Lorenzo Cain, hobbled by a bothersome knee injury, finally returned to the starting lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the rival Chicago Cubs.

So recently, Milwaukee Brewers star outfielder Christian Yelich posed nude for the ESPN Magazine Body Issue, which is an annual thing (well, not Yelich posing, but for the magazine).

Coming into the 2019 MLB season, the Milwaukee Brewers faced the same problem that plagued them throughout the 2018 season, where they fell one game short of making the World Series: starting pitching. Last year’s breakthrough ace starter was Jhoulys Chacin, but his 2019 season has been anything but awesome. Making his first career All-Star […]

The 2019 MLB Trade Deadline is one week from Wednesday, and the “Hot Stove” is certainly heating up.

All across the MLB, teams are focusing their drafting and developing efforts on shoring up the core of their team, emphasizing the quality of players up the middle.

Leaving the hopes and dreams of a professional baseball team to make the playoffs up to one player is somewhat normal, especially if that one player (Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, etc.) means that much to that franchise. But for a team’s hopes to rest on the shoulders of two players, who are at vastly different […]

Struggling to find their way again, the Milwaukee Brewers have been absolutely taking hit after hit in terms of their postseason goals.

For the majority of this 2019 MLB season, two players have come to define excellence in the National League: Christian Yelich and Cody Bellinger.
