The Brewers’ prospects have been showing up this spring

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 […]

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 2/27-3/5

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 […]

Milwaukee Brewers 2026 preview by position: catcher

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, […]

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: What would a lockout do to the Brewers? This has been a week of questions focusing on the lockout, and today we’re asking specifically about the impact on the Brewers.

Brewers walk off the Giants in thrilling 13-12 spring victory

Despite giving up 12 runs on 11 hits — including three home runs — Milwaukee managed to escape with a thrilling walk-off win over the San Francisco Giants. Brice Turang’s two-homer day powered the Brewers to a second straight victory. After Carlos Rodriguez retired the Giants in order to start the game, Turang crushed his […]

Tyler Black leads Brewers rout in first Spring Training win

The Brewers and Athletics both entered Tuesday’s game seeking their first Cactus League win but it was the Brewers who were able to get it in very convincing fashion.

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?

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 […]

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 […]

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? […]

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.
