On August 4, 2015, in his first start with the Biloxi Shuckers of the Double-A Southern League, left-hander Josh Hader treated the Brewers and their fans to the sort of dominant performance that made him the 2014 California League Pitcher of the Year and convinced Milwaukee to acquire him as part of the deal that […]

Kyle Lohse, the Worst, and The Best Pitching Performances in Brewers History
On March 25th, 2013, Kyle Lohse signed a three-year, $33-million-dollar contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. The right-hander signed late in the offseason, and in fact, he was one of the only quality players left on the market during that time. This was rather uncommon. Most free agent deals aren’t signed at the end of March, and […]
Insight into the Brewers’ Upcoming Trade Strategy
As a team that does not expect to compete in 2016, the Milwaukee Brewers shouldn’t be tied to any single player who isn’t a sho0-in to be an integral part of the organization’s next playoff team, a category which is basically limited to youngish superstars and high-quality prospects. The Brewers are light on superstars, but — […]
The Third-Base Options On The Trade Market
Here are some things we can say, to varying degrees of certainty, about the Milwaukee Brewers: They need a third baseman for the future. In the 2011 offseason, Aramis Ramirez came to Milwaukee, where he manned the hot corner for three-plus years. The club traded him to Pittsburgh this past July, and they’d like to find […]
Why Hasn’t Jonathan Lucroy Been Traded?
If the Brewers are indeed open to trading him, Jonathan Lucroy could be one of the hottest commodities available on the trade market. Given the fact that very few attractive options on the free-agent market at catcher existed at the beginning of the offseason, it has become even more barren with Matt Wieters acceptance of his qualifying offer […]
The Worst Decision In Brewers History
The worst decision in Milwaukee Brewers franchise history, to me, is obvious. It wasn’t any of the team’s myriad poor draft choices or trades or free-agent contracts. No, it wasn’t a baseball move at all. It was the ill-fated decision to ditch one of the greatest logo designs in sports history in 1994, the demise […]
Remembering Chris Capuano, Pickoff Master
On July 25th of this year, the Brewers took on the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Arizona won 2-0, as Rubby de la Rosa outdueled Taylor Jungmann. For the Brew Crew, the most influential play in the game occurred in the bottom of the first. After Ender Inciarte led off with a double, improving his team’s […]
What Will the 2016 Brewers’ Bullpen Look Like?
The recent trade of Francisco Rodriguez means that the 2016 bullpen will look significantly different from the 2015 one. There will obviously be a new closer, but that specific title is less important than the specific leverage roles that each player will fill. Rodriguez was not just the Brewers’ closer; he was also one of […]
