Spring Training Game Thread #14: Milwaukee Brewers (6-7) @ Los Angeles Angels (5-9)

The Milwaukee Brewers are back in action on Saturday afternoon as they’ll travel to take on the Los Angeles Angels for Brandon Woodruff’s spring debut. Woodruff, the only pitcher to not appear this spring of the non-Quinn Priester variety (Priester’s availability to begin the season is in doubt as he deals with wrist discomfort), will […]

Brewers pick up second straight spring win, defeat Diamondbacks 6-2

Box Score Milwaukee picked up its second straight spring win today behind strong showings from several of their top prospects. Jesús Made, Mike Boeve, Luis Lara, and Eric Bitonti all had RBIs as the Brewers defeated the Diamondbacks, 6-2. Arizona got on the board in the first inning against Brewers starter Chad Patrick. Jacob Amaya […]

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. Welcome to March, as Opening Day is now just three weeks 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 game […]

Garrett Mitchell leads bats to 10-8 Brewers spring win over Rockies

Box Score Garrett Mitchell has all the talent in the world to be a star in this league. Injuries have plagued him to this point, but he’s healthy and showing what he’s capable of. Mitchell got this game started with a bang, a 462-foot home run off Michael Lorenzen that came off the bat at […]

Milwaukee Brewers 2026 preview by position: second base

The Milwaukee Brewers have an obvious choice at the top of their second-base depth chart, one that should be a big part of, at least, the next few years. After that, it’s a little less clear, but there are a bunch of potential options, and as long as Brice Turang’s health holds out, we shouldn’t […]

Brewers unable to muster up enough offense in 4-1 spring loss to Cubs

Box Score Despite a vintage performance from Christian Yelich, who reached base three times in his spring debut, Milwaukee fell to the Chicago Cubs 4-1. Chicago jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and never looked back. In the top of the first, Brandon Sproat made short work of the Cubs, retiring the top of […]

Spring Training Game Thread #11: Milwaukee Brewers (4-6) vs. Chicago Cubs (4-7)

The NL Central’s fiercest rivalry returns today as the Brewers take on the Chicago Cubs for the first time this spring. Offseason acquisition Brandon Sproat is scheduled to take the mound for Milwaukee. Sproat’s made one appearance so far this spring, surrendering three hits (one earned run) while striking out three in 1 1/3 innings […]

The projections don’t like the Brewers; is there anything to it?

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 […]

Notable risers and fallers from MLB Pipeline’s 2026 Top 30 Brewers prospects

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 […]

Brewers drop exhibition game to Great Britain, 7-3

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 […]

Exhibition Game Thread: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Great Britain

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 […]

Three questions for season two of Jacob Misiorowski

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 […]

Milwaukee Brewers 2026 preview by position: first base

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 […]

Offense stumbles in Brewers’ 3-1 loss to Royals

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 […]

Brewers lose to Reds 9-7 despite hit parade

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 […]

Spring Training Game Thread #9: Milwaukee Brewers (4-4) vs. Cincinnati Reds (3-3)

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 […]

Brew Crew Ball Daily Question: Tag a commenter who makes this place better

We’re back with our final daily question (though today’s isn’t exactly a question). We’re asking you, the Brew Crew Ball community, to take a minute and tag a fellow fan who makes the BCB community a better place. While our community can certainly get into some disagreements, maybe it’s exactly what this place needs. After […]
