It is hard to draw any conclusions 15 games into a season, but that doesn’t stop anyone from trying to make something of what has already happened. A closer look at a few numbers posted by individual Brewers and the team as a whole will give fans and analysts a glimpse of how the season […]

Winning Jobs: Spring Training Stuff!
The Brewers have an almost absurd level of organization depth and MLB roster flexibility at the moment, which leaves many questions about the shape of the roster for the 2017 season. At this point it should almost be a given that the August 1, 2017 roster will not be the roster that breaks camp, in […]
Waiving Them Through The Turnstiles
With less than a day to spare, Major League Baseball and the Players’ Union were able to come to terms and sign a new collective bargaining agreement this year, preserving over two decades of continuing labor peace. To the relief of, well, everyone, the All-Star Game will no longer decide home-field advantage in the World […]
Good for 80 Games
The Brewers are in the midst of a stunning September surge, one that could potentially find them playing themselves out of a 2017 Top 10 draft pick and — better yet — finding another MLB role from their pile of future values. This surge is stunning because thus far it’s come against the World Champion […]
Game 123 Recap: Brewers 7, Mariners 6
Against an inexperienced starter and a couple of solid bullpen arms, the Brewers offense couldn’t accomplish much. Against one of the worst relievers in baseball, the hitters finally broke through. Losing streak: OVER! Record: STILL BAD! Best Play: Matt Garza struggled, Ariel Miranda did pretty well, yada yada yada, Tom Wilhelmsen came on in the ninth. The score […]
Seven Free Brews

Building a championship baseball team is no exception. The 1994 Montreal Expos and 2001 Seattle Mariners might […]
Jhan Marinez: The Forgotten Man
The final countdown before the trade deadline has begun, and the Brewers will be one of the most intriguing teams to watch this weekend. Of particular interest to many contenders are a trio of pitchers in Milwaukee’s bullpen, as Jeremy Jeffress, Will Smith and Tyler Thornburg are becoming household names in the baseball world as […]
Game 66 Recap: Giants 10 Brewers 1
It was with great anticipation that I ended my work shift with the intent to listen to some afternoon baseball…only to immediately find our beloved Milwaukee Nine four runs in the hole. The Brewers would never recover, but if you like fringe bullpen depth, the afternoon was not entirely lost for Milwaukee. Top Play (WPA): […]
Jhan Marinez Has The Stuff, But Not The Results
TINSTAAPP: There Is No Such Thing As A Pitching Prospect. For every promising young hurler who lives up to his billing, ten more will flame out. Brewers fans have certainly experienced this concept, with Mark Rogers, Jed Bradley, and (possibly) Wily Peralta, among others. And before this year, Jhan Marinez looked like a pretty good […]
