Nine minutes. Nine minutes is all the Washington Nationals had the league in the 2019 National League Wild Card game, but those nine minutes were all at the end of the contest, and they were the ones that meant the most. Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader let up a bases-clearing single to 20-year-old phenom Juan […]

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. The two bitter rivals have seven games in hand against one another, starting with a […]

Some people just never outgrow being a kid in Little League, but for the Milwaukee Brewers talent Trent Grisham, sometimes that is quite alright. Facing off against the struggling San Diego Padres, the Brewers’ outfielder was at the plate and laced an opposite-field double into the left-center field gap on Thursday. 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. On a limited pitch count due to needing to work back into game speed, Woodruff went only two innings, spanning 37 pitches in his return. Having […]

Unfortunately for MLB fans, most of the divisional races do not have much excitement entering the final few weeks of the regular season. The playoff picture is already fairly clear, with most of the drama likely to come from the Wild Card races. However, the award races are a totally different story. Christian Yelich’s broken […]

Adding to the reinforcements for the Milwaukee Brewers, third baseman Mike Moustakas has made his full-time return to the starting lineup, playing third base against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Having been relegated to pinch-hitting duties and defensive substitutions ever since he injured his left wrist while attempting to field a ball in the field. […]

In the wake of the Milwaukee Brewers losing superstar Christian Yelich for the remainder of the season, the team was in need of a boost in their offense. Rookie second baseman Keston Hiura, who had been out since Aug. 31 dealing with a hamstring injury, was reinstated from the injury list and subsequently inserted back […]

Christian Yelich has been playing at an MVP caliber level once again this season for the Milwaukee Brewers, but unfortunately he will be ending his season early. According to an official release from the Brewers on Twitter, Yelich will miss the remainder of the season due to a fractured kneecap. Christian Yelich left tonight’s game […]

CLUTCH SUMMARY: With August winding down, the statistical leaders across the American and National Leagues are both household names and unforeseen youngsters trying to etch their names in baseball history. While not leading any category, Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Christian Yelich is listed towards the top of all of these categories, once again cementing his […]

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 halfway point of the 2019 MLB season has come and gone, and the All-Star break is just around the corner. While NBA free agency talk has dominated the majority of the headlines as of late, baseball teams around the league are going through internal changes as they prepare to enter the dog days of […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ever since Derek Jeter was a part of the group that purchased the Miami Marlins from then-owner Jeffrey Loria in 2017, the team has absolutely tanked and gone downhill, much to the dismay of Marlins fans (if there are any). Being installed as the team CEO was an interesting way to push his way into […]

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 […]

As impossible as it seems, reigning National League MVP Christian Yelich is continuing the torrid pace that he set during the second half of the 2018 season. Through April 3, Yelich already had four homers (all of which coming in the first four games of the season, matching an MLB record) and was slugging 1.000 […]

Even with the all of the money that has been thrown around these past few weeks by MLB teams to lock up their players, there still are certain major leaguers who are not being paid what they deserve, due to their potential and their production so far. Mostly early in their careers, franchises are still […]

After jumping out to a huge lead and being forced to fight back from a late-season divisional deficit, the Milwaukee Brewers pulled out their first National League Central Division championship since 2011 and their second ever in franchise history. Riding on the back of NL MVP Christian Yelich, combined with the shutdown bullpen and interesting […]

Coming off an MVP season, it is hard to match expectations, especially after they were set so high in the previous year. While Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Christian Yelich rose from being a solid core of the Miami Marlins to the National League MVP in his first season in brewtown is a testament to how […]

Last season, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich won the National League MVP Award after a breakout season in which he nearly won the Triple Crown. Yelich led the NL in batting average (.326), finished second in RBIs (110) and third in homers (36) while posting a 166 wRC+, also tops in the league and fourth […]

After falling one game short of making the World Series in 2018, the up-start Milwaukee Brewers look to be just as solid, if not more proven to make their first bid into the Fall Classic since 1982 during the upcoming 2019 campaign. For a team much further ahead of its expected curve of progression, the […]

As a mainstay on the major league roster for the Chicago Cubs since 2012, first baseman Anthony Rizzo has become a franchise cornerstone over the years, belting out long home runs and making great plays at first. A consistent offensive threat for the Cubbies, Rizzo is what consistent looks like in terms of production at […]

Widely seen as the league’s best division coming into 2019, the National League Central is going to be an absolute treat to watch this season, as three teams have a real chance at not only making the playoffs but all making some noise. Whoever wins this division should immediately jump to the top of the […]

The passing of the torch happens on a seasonal basis in all professional sports, as athletes who helped transition his generation to the next one will pass the torch to the players leading the next charge of today’s players. From the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield in the NFL to Giannis Antetokounmpo and […]

In a season that was ultimately a successful one for the Atlanta Braves, it was their rookie, Ronald Acuna, who led the way and pushed this team back into the playoffs after winning the National League East division. Coming off a successful season in his own right, Acuna is looking to improve upon his 2018 […]

Coming into last season, the Milwaukee Brewers were expected to make a brief amount of noise but not necessarily compete for a playoff spot. After their acquisitions in late January of both center fielder Lorenzo Cain and eventual MVP winner Christian Yelich, the team took off. Streaking out to lead the National League Central division […]

For a team that has been a cellar dweller for so long, their farm system does not reflect that, which is what has been a big-time hindrance for the Miami Marlins, especially after Derek Jeter came in to run the team as CEO. After building a monstrosity of a vibrant ballpark, the team has failed […]
