Spring Training Game Thread #5: Milwaukee Brewers (0-4) @ Athletics (0-3)
The Cactus Crew still hasn’t been able to get their first win of spring training after losing a late lead against the Padres on Monday. Today they’ll be traveling again to face the not-Oakland-not-Las-Vegas-but-not-Sacramento Athletics. Lefty Rob Zastryzny will get the start today for the Brewers. Righty Mason Barnett is the scheduled starter for the […]
If everything goes right… for Brewers position players
Today, let’s put our optimist hats on. It’s spring training, after all — the possibilities seem endless! I’m going to go player-by-player through the position players likely to be on the major league team this season (with a few bonuses at the end) and think about what a season looks like for them if everything […]
Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: How worried are you about a baseball lockout?
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: How worried are you about a baseball lockout? This is one of those topics where everyone seems to have a strong opinion one way or the other. Obviously, no baseball fan wants to see an absence of games, and the long-term fallout is something that […]
Late collapse costs Brewers first spring win; Ortiz shines
The Milwaukee Brewers looked well on their way to picking up their first Cactus League win this afternoon when a late bullpen collapse by players you’ve probably never heard of meant another day with a zero in the win column for the Brewers. Of course, winners and losers in the Cactus League don’t really matter […]
Spring Training Game Thread #4: Milwaukee Brewers (0-3) @ San Diego Padres (1-2)
The Cactus League Brewers are back in action and looking to get off the schneid this afternoon after losing both games in split-squad action yesterday. They’ll travel to Peoria to take on the San Diego Padres. Today’s lineup features a balance of regulars and minor leaguers, as Jackson Chourio, Joey Ortiz, Andrew Vaughn, and Gary […]
Top 50 Milwaukee Brewers Prospects in 2026
The Milwaukee Brewers continue to have one of the best farm systems in Major League Baseball. In fact, they are ranked the best farm system by ESPN and The Athletic heading into 2026. The Brewers’ collection of talent is ever-growing, with some late offseason additions from the Freddy Peralta and Caleb Durbin trades. It makes […]
Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: Make one prediction you will stand by all season
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question (or, I guess, in this case, it’s more of a statement) is: Make one prediction you will stand by all season. In recent seasons, the Brewers have consistently been one of the most underrated teams, regularly outperforming their projected win totals and finishing atop the NL […]
Brewers fall to 0-3 in spring training with pair of Sunday losses
The Milwaukee Brewers had their first split-squad day of the spring on Sunday, as part of the team visited the Chicago White Sox in Glendale, and the others stayed in Phoenix to battle the Kansas City Royals. With a pair of losses, the Brewers fell to 0-3 in the Cactus League as their hopes for […]
Spring Training Game Thread #2/3: Milwaukee Brewers (0-1) @ Chicago White Sox (2-0)/vs. Kansas City Royals (1-1)
After a losing effort against the Guardians on Saturday afternoon, the Brewers are back at it with their first split-squad day of the spring. The road Brewer squad is in Glendale, where they’ll take on the Chicago White Sox, while the home team welcomes the Royals to American Family Fields of Phoenix. In the road […]
Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: Who do Brewer fans overrate?
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Who do Brewer fans overrate? Earlier in the week, we asked who you defend no matter what, but today’s question is something of an inverse. Who’s that one player that everyone seems to love (or defend), but the results on the field just aren’t there? […]
Brewers kick off spring training with 9-6 loss to Guardians
Box Score After a long, eventful winter, the Milwaukee Brewers were back in action on Saturday afternoon in Phoenix, as they hosted the Cleveland Guardians. While the results don’t matter much (besides for the coveted Cactus League Cup), the Brewers did go down 9-6 in this one. Garrett Stallings worked around a pair of singles […]
Spring Training Game Thread #1: Milwaukee Brewers (0-0) vs. Cleveland Guardians (0-0)
Baseball is back! The Milwaukee Brewers kick off their Cactus League slate Saturday afternoon in Phoenix as they’ll welcome the Cleveland Guardians in a battle of the two two-time reigning Managers of the Year in Pat Murphy and former Brewer Stephen Vogt. Today’s game is one filled with non-roster invitees, including a few you may […]
Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: You’re the GM for one move: What’s one trade, signing, or extension you’d make?
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: You’re the GM for one move: What’s one trade, signing, or extension you’d make? Everyone loves to be an armchair general manager, so now’s your chance to make the move you want. What are you doing? Weigh in in the comments, and join us throughout […]
Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 2/20-2/26
We’re trying something new to continue our goal of starting (and continuing) conversations within the Brew Crew Ball community. As part of this effort, we’re implementing “Bernie’s Dugout,” a weekly open thread that we’ll drop each Friday. Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-baseball […]
A recap of 2026 post-arbitration deadline contracts
Back in January, arbitration-eligible players and teams who did not come to an agreement on a salary for the 2026 season at the deadline had to file for the salary they thought the player deserved. This year, 18 players exchanged figures with their clubs to head to arbitration. The Brewers had just one player among […]
Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: If you could change one moment in franchise history, what would it be?
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: If you could change one moment in franchise history, what would it be? The Brewers have had their share of heartbreak over the years, losing the 1982 World Series, the 2018 NLCS, the 2019 Wild Card Game, and the 2024 Wild Card Series in heartbreaking […]
Brewer manager Pat Murphy’s contract extended through 2028 with club option for 2029
The Milwaukee Brewers have reworked manager Pat Murphy’s contract, locking up the reigning two-time NL Manager of the Year through 2028 with a club option for 2029, multiple sources have confirmed. Murphy, who was entering his final season of a three-year deal signed after the departure of Craig Counsell in the 2023-24 offseason, will stick […]
The Brewers and the art of the multi-inning reliever
There was a time, not so long ago, when bullpen roles felt rigid. The setup man handled the eighth. The closer handled the ninth. Everyone else filled in the gaps and tried not to make a mess of things. But if there’s one quiet constant of Brewers baseball over the last several years, it’s this: […]
Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: Who is your least favorite Brewer?
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Who is your least favorite Brewer? Props to user keephopealive for suggesting the question earlier this week. There are tons of good options, as you’ll see in the comments section from Tuesday. Jesse Winker is probably the most recent “Brewer villain,” but we’ve also had […]
Four questions as the Brewers approach Cactus League play
We’re less than a week from baseball games! The Brewers get their Cactus League slate underway on Saturday afternoon against the Guardians. It won’t be a typical spring training, necessarily — the World Baseball Classic adds a (fun) twist to the proceedings, and several prominent Brewers will be absent from camp for a week or […]
Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: Which opposing team do you hate the most?
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Which opposing team do you hate the most? Given that this is a community of Brewer fans, I’d guess roughly 95% of the fans in here will say either the Cubs or the Cardinals, with the other 5% dispersed to teams all over the league […]
Brewers release 2026 spring training broadcast schedule
After an offseason full of turmoil with the Brewers’ broadcast plan, the team has a new home on Brewers.TV, an offshoot of MLB.TV, which is now owned by ESPN as part of the league’s new media agreement. While the team has not yet announced local carrier information — you can keep track of that here […]
The option status of the Brewers’ roster in spring training
As spring training gets underway, one main factor for many players competing for major league jobs is their option status. Having a roster of players with options gives the Brewers’ flexibility on how to build their roster. They can move players between the majors and minors throughout the season, giving them depth for injury replacements […]
Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: Which Brewer do you defend no matter what the numbers say?
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Which Brewer do you defend no matter what the numbers say? For me, it’s Rickie Weeks. The No. 2 overall pick in 2003, Weeks never quite lived up to the hype, at least from a numbers perspective. Across 11 seasons in Milwaukee, he accumulated just […]
Digging into the Luis Rengifo data
After they traded away their third base depth chart last week, it was widely expected that the Brewers would add someone to the mix in their infield. Without doing so, Milwaukee would enter the season relying on a whole bunch of promising prospects who have never played a meaningful number of games above Double-A. Remember, […]
