The Brewers offense will have a new hitting coach for the 2022 season. https://twitter.com/SophiaMinnaert/status/1450909299769761792 Haines has been Milwaukee’s hitting coach since 2018. Before then, He was with the Chicago Cubs during 2016 and 2017. First as their minor league hitting instructor, then promoted as their assistant hitting coach. After the 2020 season, Haines appeared to be on the hot seat after a disappointing offense performance. Many called for his dismissal after the team’s slow start during the 2021 season, but a hot streak in July and August seemed to stop the discussion for a bit. The Brewers’ offense the last…

The 2021 Milwaukee Brewers season is over. As President of Baseball Operations David Stearns said, they had a successful year, but everyone is disappointed in how it ended. He also said something else important. “Getting to the postseason is not easy”. The Brewers have now done that for four straight seasons. David held his yearly end of season press conference today, and some things for next season might have already be revealed. What we do know is that the Brewers have young talent, depth for their starting rotation and possibly the most team control that this roster has ever had…

With a week left in the 2021 MLB regular season, the Milwaukee Brewers are locked in as the number two seed in the National League. The question is, will they play the Philadelphia Phillies or Atlanta Braves? The Braves are currently leading the NL East by two-and-a-half games. It’s going to be an interesting last week to determine the division winner. Atlanta plays Philly in a three game series at home, so the division lead could change several times before the end of the week. After their series, the Phillies will go to Miami to take on the Marlins. The…

Corbin Burnes said it himself after the game. He originally wasn’t going to be allowed to pitch the 8th. You can be disappointed Burnes didn’t pitch a no hitter complete game. But you can’t be mad. The Milwaukee Brewers are  doing something special right now. Using a single pitcher to achieve a no hitter would have been amazing. But do you know what wouldn’t have been amazing? Corbin Burnes getting hurt. https://twitter.com/Brewers/status/1436870167577964546 To be honest, I wanted him to go out there for the 9th. The Brewers hadn’t had a no hitter in over 34 years. That is a long…

What a September so far for the Milwaukee Brewers. Adrian Houser throws a complete game. Eric Lauer throws a seven-inning shutout and draws in a run on a walk. Christian Yelich is batting .340 over his last 26 games and hitting the ball hard. Really hard. And along with Yelich, his 2018 January joining the Brewers partner, Lorenzo Cain is having an amazing September. Historically, and over the past three years, Craig Counsell has been spectacular in the month of September. He’s lead the team to three straight playoff appearances. All signs are pointing to him bringing them to a…

The injury train continues for Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brett Anderson. https://twitter.com/AdamMcCalvy/status/1433474904351907857 The lefty has gotten some extremely bad breaks during the 2021 season. The latest after he was hit in his throwing arm from a 103mph line drive by Brandon Crawford. Obviously not intention, but could have been a lot worse and going for his head before Anderson turned his shoulder towards the ball. [pickup_prop id=”8970″] It was in the second inning of the Brewers 6-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants and clinched their series win of four games and their third straight against the Giants. Anderson was…

There are less than 40 games to go in the 2021 Major League Baseball regular season. The Milwaukee Brewers are currently ahead in the NL Central by 8.5 games, and possibly on pace for a major milestone. They have a chance to win 100 games this season. After the Reds series, the Brewers will have 34 games left of their 162 game schedule. They currently sit at 77-49 with a winning percentage of .611. Before the season started, if you would have told anyone the Brewers would win six out of every ten games during the season, not many would…

After helping lead the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA Championship in 50 years, the team has extended head coach Mike Budenholzer. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1430335321737252869 Budenholzer was entering the final year of his deal. It is a three-year extension and will be the Bucks coach through the 2024-2025 season. The two-time NBA coach of the year has a 172-65 record as coach during the regular season. His playoff record is 31-17. The Arizona native took over as head coach in 2018. Before Atlanta, he was an assistant with the San Antonio Spurs and learned under Gregg Popovich. He was previously with the…

The first-place Milwaukee Brewers are now 25 games above .500 and one of the five teams in MLB that has more than 70 wins already as we hit the middle of August. The Brewers’ depth is one of their biggest strengths right now. One could almost argue that they have too much depth. With players returning from the Covid and injured list, there could be several solid players sent back to the minors or hitting the waiver wire. Travis Shaw became the first casualty over the weekend. He hit waivers and was picked up by the Boston Red Sox. There…

It appears the Milwaukee Brewers will end the 2021 trade deadline with a power bat and two relief pitchers. The Brewers picked up John Curtiss from the Miami Marlins. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1421197394285375491 Going back to the Marlins will be catcher Payton Henry, the team’s number 19 prospect according to MLB.com. Milwaukee have four other catchers in their top 20 prospect list currently. The 28-year-old is having a great season. The right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.48 ERA over 35 games. He only has nine walks over 40 innings of work. He is averaging a strikeout per inning. https://twitter.com/AdamMcCalvy/status/1421198712634843136 Not only do the…
