The Milwaukee Brewers could be without star pitcher Freddy Peralta for a while after the right-hander exited Sunday’s start with an apparent injury.

Milwaukee Brewers lefty Eric Lauer knew he had a tough task ahead on Sunday night against a potent Philadelphia Phillies offense, but it didn’t intimidate him the least bit. Lauer went out and shoved, striking out 13 hitters across six innings of scoreless baseball. He previously had just 10 K’s in his first two starts. […]

After the team brought in utility man Brock Holt for a one-year deal with a club option for 2021 on Tuesday, the Milwaukee Brewers are looking to implement one of the most flexible rosters in all of baseball. Every position player (sans for their catchers, at least on a regular basis) has the capabilities to […]

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.

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
