It’s no secret that the big story in baseball is the playoffs, and even though the Brewers aren’t involved, they are still impacted. Three of the five teams that made the National League playoffs are from the Central, which—because of simple math—should make the future road to October more difficult for both Milwaukee and Cincinnati.

The Brewers In The Age Of No-Hitters
The 2015 regular season has come and gone, and you’ve probably heard this already, but there have been a lot of no-hitters this year. How many? Up to this point, there have been seven no-hitters. Think that’s a lot? We’ll get to that quite soon. First let’s acknowledge a few things. No-hitters are a little […]
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 […]
Brewers Continue To Impress At The Turnstiles
This year’s Milwaukee Brewers — a team that floundered horrifically out of the gate, won all of 68 games, and at no point from May onward came within 10 games within .500. And yet, a total of 2,542,558 fans paid to watch the Brewers at Miller Park this year, seventh in the National League and […]
Reselecting Brewers’ Walk-Up Music
By the time I was 10, I realized that my big-league dreams weren’t actually going to come true. While my epiphany may have come earlier than it did for others, I think everyone reading this has had that moment. Even though my dreams were shattered and I had to start working on a backup plan, […]
Jorge Lopez & The Fickle Nature of Prospect Lists
Top-prospect lists are not what people desire them to be. They don’t rank how likely minor-league players are to stick in the majors and find success. They shouldn’t guarantee what a prospect will become in the future, nor should they pretend to foresee all possible paths of development. In the end, prospect lists are best utilized to […]
Brewers Bring In Some Outfield Arms
Fewer plays in baseball can energize a team — and ignite a crowd — quite like an outfield assist. As an opposition player tries to stretch a single into a double or attempts to score from third on a shallow fly ball, the defender calmly fields the ball and immediately rifles it back toward the […]
Biases in Baseball: Khris Davis vs Gerardo Parra
At the trade deadline, the Brewers traded Gerardo Parra. Unsurprisingly, many fans were upset, as is often the case when a team trades away a quality player. What does surprise me is the negative general reaction toward Khris Davis when he returned to a starting role. The thought among those fans is that Gerardo Parra is […]
Prince Fielder, The Brewers’ Rock, Thriving In Texas
I still love watching Prince Fielder play baseball. His energy — both the violent kinetic energy of his swing and the bright, joyful energy he brings to the dugout — is almost unmatched in Major League Baseball. Fielder is powering the Rangers’ run to the postseason, especially recently. Fielder has turned it on in the past […]
Give Jason Rogers a Chance
The Brewers are well on their way to rebuilding their club for future success, but there are still things left for them to accomplish. For one, they still have tradeable assets on the major-league club. I don’t think it’s a mistake they didn’t trade certain players at the trade deadline this year. There could be […]
