Brewers run wild over Marlins in 8-6 victory

Box Score On a day that started with so much bad news — Sal Frelick going on the IL, Brandon Woodruff needing surgery, and Brice Turang getting scratched — the Brewers still continue to plug along and win ballgames as they secured an 8-6 win over the Miami Marlins. Shane Drohan was excellent once more, […]

Brandon Woodruff needs another surgery following latest injury

It’s not the end just yet for Brandon Woodruff. But his 2026 season is over. Woodruff last pitched on the 4th of July, when he had to exit the game in the fourth inning due to renewed shoulder discomfort. He had missed six weeks earlier in the season with a shoulder issue that led to […]

Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (59-37) vs. Miami Marlins (52-45)

Baseball is back again. After a four-day reprieve with the All-Star break, the Milwaukee Brewers have a game to play. They begin a nine-game homestand with a three-game series against the Miami Marlins. The Brewers made a couple of moves during the break to shuffle the roster a little. Lance McCullers Jr. was acquired from […]

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 7/17-7/23

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The unofficial first half of the season is officially in the rearview, as the Brewers will kick off their post-All-Star break slate tonight in Milwaukee. At 59-37 this year, the Brewers sit ahead of the Cubs by five games in the NL Central and currently hold the second-best record in […]

Why the Brewers targeted Lance McCullers Jr. and Colton Gordon

The Milwaukee Brewers are, for better or worse, a hard team to predict when it comes to trades and the trade deadline. President of Baseball Operations Matt Arnold can get very creative at times with his deals and pull some names that almost no one was expecting. Enter Lance McCullers Jr. and Colton Gordon. McCullers […]

Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Miami Marlins

The Milwaukee Brewers are back in action this weekend, as they’ll host the Miami Marlins to open up the second half of the season. Milwaukee, who limped into the break with a sweep at the hands of the Pirates in Pittsburgh, still sits atop the NL Central, with a five-game lead over the Cubs. They […]

Milwaukee Brewers’ 2027 schedule released

Note: All of this is subject to change, as the league is undergoing labor talks with the MLBPA. Those talks have already been contentious and are expected to continue through the offseason, with a realistic chance of a lockout to begin the 2027 season. Major League Baseball today released the regular-season schedule for 2027. After […]

Brewers trade deadline primer, part three: Starting pitcher targets

Note: This piece was written before the Brewers traded for Lance McCullers Jr. on Wednesday. Ultimately, I don’t believe the Brewers are putting much stock in the oft-injured and otherwise ineffective McCullers as a person to do much besides eat a few innings, so I don’t think that trade materially changes any approach that I […]

A look at the Brewers’ use of ABS challenges

At the start of the season, the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system was officially implemented into MLB games. This uses a full automated system based on Statcast data to challenge certain calls made by umpires. Now that we’re at the All-Star break, we have more than half a season of data to analyze about how […]

2026 Brewers midseason awards

Team MVP Paul Dietrich: Brice Turang The correct answer here is Jacob Misiorowski but given that he’s going to get the Cy Young award below, I’ll choose a position player for variety’s sake. And while there are several important contributors among that group, the player most worthy of recognition here is also the one who […]

AL shuts out NL 4-0 in 2026 MLB All-Star Game

Box Score The All-Star Game took place on Tuesday night in Philadelphia, but it was a one-sided affair the whole way. A three-run first inning by the AL gave them a lead that they would hold throughout the game, finishing with a 4-0 victory over the NL. Even though the hometown ace, Cristopher Sánchez, got […]

Pitching staff flops as Brewers lose series finale 14-5

Box Score Good news and bad news. Good news: It’s officially the All-Star break. Bad news: The Brewers pitching staff gave up 14 runs today. In recent history, the Brewers and the Pirates have played in the final series before the All-Star break, and it has never fared well for the team in blue and […]

Brewers’ Jesús Made drives in National League’s lone run in 6-1 Futures Game loss

Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers’ top prospects Jesús Made and Luis Peña both represented the franchise in this year’s All-Star Futures Game, though neither could help the National League avoid a 6-1 loss in the seven-inning exhibition. While the game remained tied 1-1 through four innings, the American League pulled away late, scoring a run […]
