Milwaukee Brewers - Luke Voit

The Milwaukee Brewers are off to a hot start in 2023. They are at the top of the NL Central. Their new players, along with some of their top prospects up and contributing right away, are creating a winning formula so far. But did you also know their roster is technically the heaviest team in all of baseball? Let’s first say that this isn’t a bad thing. This article isn’t shaming anyone on the team or the Milwaukee Brewers roster. You can have a heavier weight if you are full of muscle mass, too. It’s also about genetics. The Milwaukee…

The Milwaukee Brewers’ 40-man roster currently stands at 39. We are very early into the free agency process, and the team should be adding a few players and making a few trades. The new man in charge, Matt Arnold, will be looking to make an impression in his new role after David Stearns stepped down to an advisory role. Would adding a player like Trey Mancini truly move the needle? The Brewers added four players to the active roster this week. Pitchers Abner Uribe and Cam Robinson, along with infielders Brice Turang and Jon Singleton. Turang should be able to…

The 2022 Milwaukee Brewers season is over. Even though there are two games left to play, the Brewers have been officially eliminated from playoff contention. Milwaukee came back and won in extra innings Monday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was unfortunately too little and too late. The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Houston Astros, and cemented their first playoff appearance since 2011. For the Brewers, this is the first time in five seasons that they will not make the playoffs. It is also the first time Christian Yelich has not made the playoffs since joining the Brewers. Christian Yelich Post-Game…

Brewers world series, brewers gm

I’ve always tried to be a positive voice for the Milwaukee Brewers. When opening my social media or talking with family and friends, I must combat negativity. The fans have seemed way too pessimistic and angry for Milwaukee having a good baseball team the past five seasons. But this year’s trade deadline broke me. The front office and GM of the Milwaukee Brewers are no longer trying to win a World Series. Josh Hader said it all during his interview as a San Diego Padre. It appears even the Brewers players know they aren’t serious. https://twitter.com/MkeBrewMike/status/1554656313485021184 Am I reading too…

It’s becoming very clear that David Stearns helped craft another masterclass trade with the Boston Red Sox. Not only did the Brewers leave Boston with a series win, but Hunter Renfroe is showing exactly what he can bring to this Milwaukee Brewers team. If it wasn’t for his two injury stints this year, Renfroe would be getting a lot more attention. The Brewers are 7-2 since the All-Star break, and the 30-year-old outfielder is a big reason why. It was just before the MLB lockout when Hunter was sent to the Brewers. As December 2021 started, the Brewers had a…

MLB Trade Deadline

After Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, it was safer if you were not around Brewers fans or on social media sites. There was lots of anger, and a lot of it pointed at manager Craig Counsell. But I wonder if the Sunday, July 10th game was Counsell’s way of saying that this current Milwaukee roster needs help. Fans have every right to be frustrated. We are a week until the All-Star Break, and the team just had a really good shot at starting to run away with the NL Central. The Cardinals went on a 2-8 stretch. But the…

Losing games is frustrating. Losing close games in extra innings is even more frustrating. But it’s May, and we haven’t even played two complete months of baseball yet. Brewers fans need to relax. Milwaukee lost to the San Diego Padres in extra innings for the first game of the series. For some reason, this really set off a bunch of fans on social media. Should we be ignoring these types of people? Of course. But it doesn’t mean they aren’t out there, and it doesn’t stop people from agreeing with them and helping their algorithms. It’s totally ok to have…

The Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies series finale on Sunday Night Baseball was a clear example of a major change that needs to happen in Major League Baseball. Angel Hernandez should no longer be an umpire. It started almost right away. Omar Narvaez got called out on a high strike to end the top of the second inning. Then Alec Bohm was called on a high strike to end the second. In the third, the same thing happened again with Andrew McCutchen. https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1518377759030001665 The strike zone would continue to stretch and then get smaller throughout the night. On what was…
