Latest news and updates about the Brewers
Last week, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s JR Radcliffe caught up with Baseball Prospectus’ Jonathan Judge to discuss the recent PECOTA projections. Those rankings, which I covered here, somewhat notoriously projected the Brewers for just 80.5 wins (it has since been inched up to 81.1), and Radcliffe wanted to give Judge a chance to explain in […]
This morning, MLB Pipeline released its list of the top 30 Brewers prospects in anticipation of the upcoming season. The full list can be found here. I’m not going to overview each player on the list because BCB’s Dave Gasper just released his list of the top 50 Brewers prospects, complete with bios on each […]
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers took on Team Great Britain on Tuesday afternoon in Phoenix, and a rough fifth inning from Jared Koenig buried Milwaukee in a 7-3 loss. With Jacob Misiorowski making his spring debut, he started the game with a pair of strikeouts wrapped around a walk to Jazz Chisholm Jr. He then […]
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to take on Team Great Britain at American Family Fields of Phoenix on Tuesday afternoon, in what will be a tune-up for Team GBR as the World Baseball Classic is set to officially begin on Wednesday (Team GBR’s first pool game is on Friday). The game is one of 15 […]
Today we look at the Cubs’ new left-handed reliever. Hoby Milner came to the Cubs as a free agent after spending a year as a Texas Ranger, where he had a little success, as he has had during a long career, previously with the Phillies, Rays, and Brewers. His ERA and peripherals weren’t so great, […]
Jaylon Thompson wrote about Kris Bubic’s Spring Training debut. On Sunday, Bubic stepped onto the pitcher’s mound again. Bubic pitched two innings against the Milwaukee Brewers at Surprise Stadium. He allowed four hits and one run but registered three strikeouts. Bubic threw 31 pitches in the start. He averaged 91.9 mph with his fastball and […]
On Tuesday, Jacob Misiorowski is set to make his spring debut. With the departure of Freddy Peralta, he is arguably the highlight of the Brewers’ rotation now. Brandon Woodruff is still the longest-tenured Brewer, but Misiorowski is being pushed as one of the new faces of the franchise. As he enters his second season, here […]
The Brewers ended last season with a prominent figure in their first base rotation that no one saw coming, who wasn’t even in the organization at the beginning of last season. But Andrew Vaughn, who seized the job after Rhys Hoskins (who has now departed the club) was injured and the Brewers traded Aaron Civale […]
Box Score Today’s Cactus League game gave us a good opportunity to get a first look at two pitchers who will figure prominently into the team’s plans this year, Chad Patrick (who started the game) and Trevor Megill (who was first out of the bullpen). The lineup also got a chance to test themselves against […]
It’s deja vu, for the second straight Sunday, your Kansas City Royals are playing the Brewers. Last week, the Royals were triumphant in a 7-3 victory. It was lefty Bailey Falter that towed the slab to start the contest, however today it’s a different lefty for the Royals, Kris Bubic. It’s good to see Isaac […]
Spring training action continues today with the Brewers headed to Surprise to take on the Kansas City Royals. We will get our first look at one of last year’s breakout stars, Chad Patrick, as he takes the mound first this afternoon. Across from him will be 2025 All-Star Kris Bubic. It’s a good lineup day […]
The bats of the Cincinnati Reds have been alive for most of Cactus League play in the early going, and that was very much still the case on Saturday. The Reds went on the road and beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-7 in their own ballpark, even doing so while television cameras were broadcasting their action […]
Box Score The Brewers’ offense was firing on all cylinders today, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Reds in a high-scoring spring training contest, despite outhitting them 17 to 10. Hunter Greene is an excellent pitcher who will very likely be a significant foe for the Brewers during their regular season battles with the […]
The Brewers will get an early look at the formidable ace of a division foe this afternoon, when Hunter Greene takes the mound for the Cincinnati Reds. Pitching first for the Brewers is lefty reliever Rob Zastryzny. Milwaukee started their Cactus League season in rough fashion, dropping their first four games. But since then, they’ve […]
Hunter Greene will make his 2026 Cactus League debut on Saturday afternoon in the ballpark formerly known as Maryvale, as the Cincinnati Reds hit the road to take on their NL Central rivals from Milwaukee. Manager Terry Francona has rolled out a lineup chock full of regulars for the outing, too, as the lineup and […]
The Milwaukee Brewers stayed hot in sunny Phoenix on Friday afternoon, taking down the Chicago White Sox for their fourth consecutive win to move to .500 at 4-4 in Cactus League play. The Crew did it behind a balanced offensive attack and some solid bullpen work late. Right-hander Brandon Sproat, one of Milwaukee’s acquisitions in […]
The White Sox gave us two games today, with the 100 or so players eligible for the games today split in half. Given that Gameday and radio was the best we could tune into for two simultaneous games, let’s just bullet-point some game performances, and let our game polls tell the rest of the story. […]
The White Sox have three split-squad game days this spring, including the Prospect Breakout game vs. the Dodgers. And, lucky you, today is the first! There no Munetaka Murakami today for the Sox — or for any time in the near future, as he has departed to join Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. […]
The Milwaukee Brewers, having won their last three games after starting the spring slate with a four-game losing streak, will look to move back to .500 on Friday afternoon, as they take on the Chicago White Sox for the second time in a week (and second of two times this spring). The Brewers dropped the […]
The Brewers boast one of the best farm systems in baseball, though most of their top prospects are still a year or two away from the big leagues. That hasn’t stopped Jesús Made, Luis Peña, Josh Adamczewski, and others from offering glimpses of what’s to come. Let’s take a look at the Brewers prospects who […]
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. Welcome to (almost) March, which means baseball is less than a month away! Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-baseball sports, the Brewers, you name it. As long as it’s appropriate and is allowed by our moderators, it’s fair […]
Box Score If Tyler Black is playing for a roster spot, he’s off to a good start this spring. He collected three more hits this afternoon as the Brewers won their third straight game, 5-1 over the Rangers. Black started his day out with a double in the first inning, though the Brewers didn’t manage […]
It’s so nice out there in Arizona this spring that the Texas Rangers have decided to play two Cactus League games today. At their home away from home in Surprise, the Rangers will welcome the Milwaukee Brewers with RHP Kumar Rocker set to make the start for Texas opposite LHP Aaron Ashby for Milwaukee. The […]
The Brewers have put together a modest two-game winning streak after yesterday’s 13-12 thriller against the Giants. They will try to extend that to three games this afternoon as they travel to Surprise to face the Rangers. Aaron Ashby will pitch first this afternoon and is making his first appearance of the spring. The Brewers […]
Meet the new battery, same as the old battery. William Contreras is locked in as the Brewers’ starter, ready for his fourth season behind the plate in Milwaukee. And after speculation throughout the fall and winter about who the backup catcher would be, whether that would be one of a slim group of free agents, […]
