As if their chances of making it back to the playoffs was not difficult enough, Milwaukee Brewers rookie second baseman Keston Hiura left Friday’s game against the Chicago Cubs with a left hamstring injury. What looks to be a result from being slid into by Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber at second base, Hiura was officially […]

Acquired in the trade deadline deal that sent pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Ray Black to the Milwaukee Brewers, second baseman prospect Mauricio Dubon is getting his first taste of the majors with the San Francisco Giants. According to Milwaukee Brewers beat reporter Robert Murray of The Athletic, Dubon has been called up in the wake […]

After acquiring him at the trade deadline from the Cincinnati Reds, second baseman Scooter Gennett has been released by the San Francisco Giants, according to Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports. Gennett, who has around $1.8 million left on his $9.75 2019 salary, will most likely pass through waivers on his way to becoming a free […]

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). Pro athletes do this all the time, and you don’t actually see their private parts in the photos. But that didn’t stop a disappointed fan from […]

CLUTCH SUMMARY: Fighting to help get the Milwaukee Brewers back into playoff contention, Christian Yelich continues to mash the ball, becoming the next member of the 40 home run, 20 steals club. Having already entered that club with a month and a half left in the season, Yelich has the tools to reach 50+ dingers […]

CLUTCH SUMMARY: With Christian Yelich and Cody Bellinger locked into another eventful race for the National League MVP, playoff positioning for both teams looks to be a big-time deciding factor. Yelich has had an overall better offensive season so far, leading the NL in home runs for practically the entire season, mostly by himself. Bellinger […]

CLUTCH Summary: Even with Christian Yelich being out for a week of games, the Milwaukee Brewers showed they came to play. The National League Central is pretty stacked, and it is going to be a dog fight until the end of September to settle the divisional winner. Rookie Trent Grisham has opened a lot of eyes […]

CLUTCH SUMMARY: The Milwaukee Brewers are still in contention for the National League Central Division, but it’s a work in progress. To entertain the idea of winning the National League Central Division for the second consecutive season, the Milwaukee Brewers will need to tighten the ship. A Brewers central core of Christian Yelich can only […]

Christian Yelich has been having another MVP type season after winning the prestigious award last year with the Milwaukee Brewers. He has been playing at a level most players can only dream of and that continued on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not only did he hit two home runs against the Pirates on […]

The Milwaukee Brewers have been talking with the Pittsburgh Pirates about trading for reliever Keone Kela, according to Robert Murray of The Athletic. Kela, who has only appeared in 17 games this season, seems to be a decently talked about commodity as the deadline draws closer. With not all that much movement occurring yet at […]

The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired right-handed pitcher Jordan Lyles in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, sending back fellow righty Cody Ponce in return, according to the team. This will mark Lyles’ second stint with the Brewers, as he made 11 appearances out of Milwaukee’s bullpen last year, going 1-0 with a 3.31 ERA. Thus […]

The Milwaukee Brewers find themselves in the thick of the National League Central divisional race yet again, and they may look to get aggressive in order to acquire starting pitching prior to Wednesday’s trade deadline. Ken Rosenthal of The Athleticreported that the Brewers are considering trading third baseman Mike Moustakas and Yasmani Grandal, both of whom […]

The Milwaukee Brewers have expressed interest in trading for Arizona Diamondbacks left-handed starting pitcher Robbie Ray, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

One year removed from making an appearance in the National League Championship Series, the Milwaukee Brewers have been struggling to make up any ground in the highly-contested NL Central division. Sitting in third place, behind the second-place St. Louis Cardinals and the division-leading Chicago Cubs, the Brew Crew are treading water as they fight to […]

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. Contenders around the league are gauging the value of various players in the hopes that one or two additions might help them reach the playoffs. One of the most underrated aspects of the upcoming deadline, however, is […]

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. From catcher to pitcher, then from second baseman/shortstop to center field, teams are taking an up the middle approach to filling out their franchises. Looking at the […]

As the All-Star Break is closing up shop and the second half of the MLB season has already begun, teams across both the American and National leagues are gearing up for their run at making it into the postseason. While five teams from each league will ultimately earn a spot in the playoffs, not every […]

With the ebb and flow of a 162 game MLB season having just crossed its halfway mark, both the National and American Leagues are sorting out their standings in an attempt to decipher who will be falling into the group of buyers and who will be selling off their talent before the trade deadline hits. […]

The good news is that before any gameplay on June 28th, the Chicago Cubs are sitting in first place in the National League Central division, having looked the part of a divisional winner so far as the last few days of June come to a close. The bad news? They only sit one game ahead […]

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. While having an other world performance by Christian Yelich yet again this season, combined with Mike Moustakas looking to make the All-Star team for the first time as a member of the National […]

Every year, there are teams from both the National League and the American League who exceed expectations and make much more noise than everyone figured they would. While not always making the playoffs at season end, their names are at least in the running all the way up to the end, so at least they […]

For the majority of this 2019 MLB season, two players have come to define excellence in the National League: Christian Yelich and Cody Bellinger. What Yelich and Bellinger have done thus far has made them clear-cut frontrunners for the MVP award, and they have dominated headlines in the process. But in a league as competitive […]

Even with as much success as these teams have experienced so far in 2019, there are always instances in which players need to move on, regardless of how good the situation is. For the likes of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies and the tied Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers, each of these National League […]

Entering MLB play on June 10th, the Milwaukee Brewers boasted the highest amount of home runs hit in the National League with 114, which puts them in first in the NL, ahead by 12 over their divisional counterparts, the Chicago Cubs. 114 leaves them in third place in all of the MLB, slotting in behind […]

September 8, 2017, was a very unfortunate and early end to the Milwaukee Brewers playoff hopes. September 8, 2017, also marked the early end to the season for starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson due to a serious injury while sliding back into first base. Well on his way to putting together his best season in his […]

Being on top of the National League Central division after a hard-fought start to their 2019 season, the Milwaukee Brewers are looking to keep up their recent stretch of dominant play, having won four of their last six games. Having had Keston Hiura fill in at second base was an added bonus for this team, […]

For the Milwaukee Brewers, big-time farm prospects seem to come up every 5+ years, and for a small market franchise, sometimes that gap in between hurts their chances at making the playoffs. Players like Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, and Jonathan Lucroy, among others, have all been drafted and developed talent that has risen through the […]

Being signed to a mega-deal that takes up 13 years and $330 million worth of a team’s time, it really puts a lot of pressure on the athlete to live up to this kind of once in a lifetime deal and prove that this huge investment was worth it. And as you can tell by […]

Currently sitting at a healthy ten games over .500, the Chicago Cubs came from the ashes early on in their 2019 campaign to sit in first place over the Milwaukee Brewers. Dubbed as one of the most difficult divisions to win this season, the National League Central will truly test the wills of all teams […]

Headlined by older players looking to cash in on their final big money deals, the 2019 MLB free agency class is not as strong as 2018 but still is stocked full of veterans who can make big impacts for whomever they end up signing with. A plethora of arms, both as starters and in the […]

Four out of the five teams that are a part of the National League Central are currently over .500 entering play on May 9th (sorry Cincinnati), and all five teams are competitive to open the season too, so the NL Central division is shaping up to be a doozy in 2019. While this was a […]

Coming into the 2019 season, MLB teams tried their best to address any open holes they had with patchwork before they got their true solution. With teams not having used Spring Training to develop their solutions, now begins the long process of turning to other teams that may have their solutions and striking up a […]

In all of the offseason predictions, one thing seemed to ring throughout all conversations: that the National League Central would boast one of the best spreads of teams in the entire league for the 2019 season. While backed up by strong facts and solid opinions in the offseason, those NL Central facts are far from […]

Similar to the situation involving Lebron James on what seemed like every single Cleveland Cavaliers team, the Milwaukee Brewers have become a bit of a one-dimensional squad riding on the back of a superstar, expecting that player to carry the entire franchise to paydirt. While Christian Yelich has proven that it is quite a possibility […]

The Milwaukee Brewers currently sit atop the National League Central with an 11-6 record as of Tuesday. They also have the worst run differential (-3) in the division. Could this really be happening again? Despite a depleted bullpen that has lost Corey Knebel for the season and is still without last year’s star closer, Jeremy […]
