The Milwaukee Brewers are brewing up something special this season. Already postseason bound, the next step is to win the division. To get there, they have to put their best out on the field for every single game for the rest of the stretch. The crew will finish up their last two weeks against the Cardinals, Mets, and Dodgers, keeping a close eye on the Wild Card race. It’s likely that the crew will be facing the Phillies or the Braves in the NLDS series, which is slated to kick off October 8. Here’s what an ideal playoffs roster for…

While some of us expected this announcement to come in the offseason, it came a little sooner than we anticipated. 5,226 days after his debut, Ryan Braun will put number eight to rest and retire a Brewers legend. However you may remember Ryan Braun, Brewers fans remember him as the 2007 Rookie of the Year, 2011 NL MVP, Five-Time Silver Slugger, and the face many of us grew up seeing watching baseball. Whatever you think of Ryan Braun, there is no doubt that he’ll retire a legacy. Today, more than 14 years after I first took the field as a…

The Milwaukee Brewers have been recognized all season for their amazing pitching efforts. The crew currently has three Cy Young candidates among the top of their rotation in Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes, and Freddy Peralta. The crew’s pitching staff has been phenomenal, and manager Craig Counsell has utilized his arms very successfully this season. A name that’s been in the spotlight lately? Aaron Ashby. More about Ashby Ashby was a fourth-round draft pick in 2018 out of Crowder JC in Missouri. In 2019, he had posted a 3.50 ERA in 126 innings between two Class-A teams, earning himself the Brewers’…

The Milwaukee Brewers have welcomed Craigtember. But not without some roster moves and injury reports. When calendars flipped to September 1, rosters expanded from 26 to 28. For the Brewers, this meant the return of Daniel Vogelbach and reliever Justin Topa. In addition to the exciting news, there was some bad news that came with it. Brewers moves, including a surprise: C Manny Pina placed on 10-day IL with left oblique tightness. 1B Daniel Vogelbach reinstated from 60-day IL, C Luke Maile, RHP Justin Topa recalled. Angel Perdomo shifted to 60-day IL to make from on the 40 for Vogelbach.…

Things are starting to get intense as we round out the 2021 regular season. Teams making trades, finalizing rosters, and pushing to the postseason. For the Milwaukee Brewers, their postseason spot is basically secured with their 8.5 game lead on the Cincinnati Reds; With the Brewers having a lot of success with Rowdy Tellez at first base, where does that put Daniel Vogelbach? What Happened? In late June, Daniel Vogelbach was initially placed on the 10-day IL with a hamstring issue. As he went off to Nashville to complete a rehab assignment, more players who were on the COVID IL…

While the Milwaukee Brewers continue their hot streak and the chase to the NL Pennant, their leadoff man has kept things hot. Kolten Wong has proven himself to be a great addition to the Brewers’ roster. Once the St. Louis Cardinals declined his 2021 club option, the Brewers were quick to hop on that and secure the second baseman on a two-year deal with a third year club option. The second baseman did miss 41 games this season. Battling with many trips to the IL with oblique issues took a lot of adjustment for Wong. The adjustment from the 60-game…

Another week, another MLB Power Rankings list was released. We’re heading into the final month of the 2021 regular season and Brewers fans are getting very excited for the postseason. It seems that there are many power rankings lists released that put the Milwaukee Brewers in either fourth or fifth place; And the crew tends to just sit there. However, contrary to that belief, the Brewers ultimately should be top two, if not the top spot of the MLB Power Rankings. The Brewers took game one against the second place Cincinnati Reds for the final time on Tuesday night and…

Pitching has always been dominant for the Milwaukee Brewers. As the regular season starts to wind down, the talks of awards/recognition begin to float around. For the last three years, the title of NL Reliever of the Year has been brought home to Milwaukee. Based on how the season is going thus far, it would be silly to give the title to someone outside of the Brewers’ organization. The crew has a couple of options as to who could win this title, who’s most deserving? Josh Hader Hader is very familiar with this title; The righty won the award in…

The 2021 regular season is nearing the end and the NL Cy Young chase has become a whole new ballgame.  With Jacob deGrom being hindered with injuries, his name has been taken out of the Cy Young discussion. While he was the one projected to win for the National League, all his time missed has put him out of contention. However, the Milwaukee Brewers have provided a couple of legitimate contenders for that prestigious award. Corbin Burnes has once again put himself in that conversation and could potentially be the winner in the end. It comes to no surprise to…

The Milwaukee Brewers have been on a roll in terms of making roster moves. The trade deadline came, acquiring a few more players, and then COVID-19 started to run rampant across the team. To respond to that, the crew has called up some players from Triple-A Nashville in order to fill their spots on the roster. As they start to be reinstated from the COVID IL or just from being injured, their spots on the roster become a question mark. Not everyone’s spot is secure on the 40-man active roster and they could easily lose their place. One name in…
