Our 2021 Season Report Cards Continue. Today, we’re taking a look at one of our outfielders, Tyrone Taylor. It truly was a stand-out season for the outfielder, Tyrone Taylor. Seeing the offensive struggles of Christian Yelich, it was up to someone to hopefully step it up and be a contributor to the lineup. After bouncing back and forth in both 2019 and 2020, it was nice to finally see Tyrone Taylor get the valued playing time he deserved. Defensive Grade: B+ Taylor started 57 games in the outfield, a total of 526 innings (230.1 LF, 183.1 RF, 112.1 CF). While…

The Packers were starting to find their new defensive groove. After a 24-10 win against the Washington Football Team, the defense is to thank for their great efforts. The team is going to be without Joe Barry this week. The defensive coordinator has tested positive for COVID-19. Barry, 51, joined the Packers earlier in 2021 after spending time with the Los Angeles Rams as their assistant HC/LBs coach.

While we put faith and trust into David Stearns and Matt Arnold, the roster turnover is something to watch for in the off season. Players’ contracts come to an end and they become a free agent; But, here are three players that the Brewers should re-sign. 1. Eduardo Escobar Arguably the best trade deadline pick-up by the Brewers, Eduardo Escobar has helped out the crew in tremendous ways. Although he had one trip to the IL, he really has brought a new spark to Milwaukee. The problem of finding a consistent, everyday third baseman for the Brewers has been a…

Though the last week of the regular season didn’t really end on a high note, the Brewers are definitely celebrating their pitching staff: Corbin Burnes was awarded the NL ERA title; The first pitcher in Brewers franchise to do so.

Los Angeles’ Dodgers pitchers Walker Buehler (2.47) and Max Scherzer (2.46) finished right behind Burnes. While those two were the favored ones for the Cy Young Award in the National League, Corbin Burnes has truly solidified his spot as the…

Well, the Milwaukee Brewers are postseason bound. They have punched their way to October with another NL Central Championship title under their belt. While we’ve already done a prediction on who should make the postseason roster, one name in particular deserves to be on there; Tyrone Taylor. Tyrone Taylor’s Outstanding Season A rookie in the outfield, Tyrone Taylor has earned himself a permanent roster spot going forward. This is Tyrone Taylor’s fourth stint with the crew just this season; He saw some time in Nashville and also missed a couple of games due to a shoulder strain. Nonetheless, he’s come…

When Luis Urias joined the crew in 2019, many thought the Brewers had found their everyday shortstop. The Brewers acquired Urias in a trade with the San Diego Padres in exchange for Zach Davies and Trent Grisham. Eric Lauer was also apart of that trade. However, as Grisham and Davies flourished in San Diego, both Eric Lauer and Urias weren’t as lucky. 2020 wasn’t the best year for Urias; He would miss the first half of Spring Training due to a fractured hamate bone, and once he was reactivated from that, the shutdown happened. Upon the restart of the shortened…
