After 162 games, playoff baseball is finally upon us. October is indeed in full swing, and the Washington Nationals and Milwaukee Brewers will kick things off in the National League Wild Card game on Tuesday night in Washington, D.C. Let’s break it down: How did they get here? The Nationals and Brewers are two teams […]

Even with still being limited on his pitch counts and durability, Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitcher Brent Suter has come back after Tommy John surgery and has become an integral part of the team’s bullpen. Suter’s return has helped provide a spark to the surging Brewers, who have now won 14 of their last 18 games […]

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 […]

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 […]

Just days after the Milwaukee Brewers were dealt a crushing blow with the loss of reigning National League MVP Christian Yelich, the club has received some more positive news. The Brewers pulled into a tie with the Chicago Cubs for the second NL Wild Card spot on Wednesday night, and now starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 a world where dreams do come true and anything goes, a picture-perfect roster comprised of major league baseball players from the National League could be brought together to make for an absolutely unstoppable franchise. Formidable to all other MLB teams, this team is exactly what an All-Star game roster would look like, without favoritism […]

In a time that members of a starting rotation do not necessarily toe the rubber first in a game, the MLB is facing an identity crisis of sorts… but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Historically, pitchers have been known for their durability, as starters used to throw 200 pitches in a game and […]

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 […]

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 […]
