The most significant Brewers storyline that involved an actual transaction was the trade deadline blockbuster that sent center fielder Carlos Gomez and right-hander Mike Fiers to Houston. After the Brewers’ deal with the Mets fell apart, Milwaukee shook hands with Houston and received a package of players headlined by top-100 prospect Brett Phillips. As our own […]

The 2015 BP Milwaukee End-Of-Season Awards
Lately, lots of talk surrounding the Milwaukee Brewers has surrounded the future of the team. And understandably so. The future appears to hold so many more positive, exciting things in store! But with the 2015 season so freshly minted, let’s take a look back and crown some winners for the First-Annual BP Milwaukee End-of-Season Awards. The […]
An Ode To The Uniquely Bright Carlos Gomez
I hope everybody who was blessed enough to watch and root for Carlos Gomez as a Brewer over the last six (six!) seasons appreciates what we had in him. Gomez’s tenure in Milwaukee ended Thursday; over 697 games, the center fielder compiled a .267/.325/.452 batting line, a 110 OPS+, 87 home runs, 152 stolen bases, […]
Rolling Out the Barrel: A Trade, An Almost-Trade, and Other Trades
Welcome, friends, to the 2015 MLB trade deadline and to the second edition of Rolling Out the Barrel. With the deadline just recently passed, we’ve already seen a ton of movement around the league, and the Brewers have been front and center for it. As you have search for updates about the trade of Gerardo […]
The Almost-Trade Of Carlos Gomez
What a change a few hours can make. Around 3:00 pm on Wednesday, I would have said that there wasn’t a chance the Brewers would move Carlos Gomez. By about 7:00 pm, news broke on Twitter that Gomez was indeed on the move to the New York Mets. A couple hours later, the trade was […]
Brewers Trade Gomez, Fiers to Houston
Although the Brewers have given conflicting signals about whether they’d listen on their cost-controlled players, the trade-that-wasn’t sending Gomez to New York ultimately put the team’s cards on the table for all to see. Not only were the Brewers listening on the former All-Star, but they were highly motivated to move him, starting a much-needed […]
Game One Hundred Recap: Giants 4, Brewers 2
TOP PLAY (WPA) With two outs in the fourth inning, Kyle Lohse served up a 3-0 fastball on a plate to Brandon Crawford, who absolutely crushed a two-run shot to deep right-center field. The blast put the Giants up 3-0 and placed them in control of the whole game (+.189 WPA). The home-run pitch serves as […]
Recent Trades Could Provide Deadline Insights
The Brewers have reportedly received interest in many of their players, but as of this writing this article they have only moved Aramis Ramirez for some salary relief and a Double-A reliever. The trade deadline grows agonizingly closer by the hour, and while that doesn’t make it more or less likely they don’t move many players, […]
Rolling Out the Barrel: Kyle Lohse, Monte Harrison, and the Trade Deadline
Good morning, Brewers fans. Welcome to Rolling Out the Barrel, a new weekly roll call (do you get it. DO YOU GET IT!?) of good and/or important articles from around the web with which the Brewers are at least tangentially associated. I’m your host Travis Sarandos, and I’ll help you find the articles you might […]
Game Eighty-Seven Recap: Milwaukee 6, Atlanta 5
TOP PLAY (WPA) The answer is so obvious that I considered putting something silly in this space to see if people were paying attention. Maybe Jonathan Lucroy gunning down Pedro Ciriaco or the first Carlos Gomez home run or Nick Markakis doing things in the outfield! However, after what our mother site did yesterday (I think […]
